Madonna looked every inch the fashionata when she stepped out recently.
She looked sophisticated in head to toe black and worked the chic winter look to perfection.
She wore a sophisticated D&G coat worth £1,600 clinched in at the waist with a belt. She accessorised with a £720 black ‘Muse’ bag from Yves Saint Laurent.
The classic tote is one of the hottest pieces of arm candy this season. She finished her look with knee high stiletto boots by luxury shoe label Jimmy Choo.
The 47 year old style icon is constantly experimenting with her style and evolving her look. Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld described her in a recent interview with Grazia magazine as a ‘living legend’.
I really like her. I created a costume for her last tour. Madonna has a gift. But it’s through her drive and personality. She has the spirit of Marlene Dietrich- a living legend.”

Madonna has purchased oxygen machines for each of her homes.
The pop star credits the gas with increasing her energy levels and combating jet-lag.
The Hung Up singer originally bought the machines to give herself oxygen facials, which she says help her maintain a porcelain doll-like complexion.
After indulging in the facials for a year, she discovered other uses for the machine.
Madonna told a German magazine: “You can also take the oxygen machine and inhale if you’re feeling really tired or jet-lagged, which is one of the reasons I have them at home.
“You just lie down for 10 minutes and put it in your nose. They are really great.”

Madonna has launched a scathing attack on the congestion charge in London, admitting she refuses to pay it despite being charged every time she floats the toll.
The pop superstar, fresh from claiming the Best Pop Brit last night, is entitled to a 90 per cent discount on the charge because she lives in Marylebone.
However, Madonna refuses to apply for the reduction because it will involve giving her address out, something she feels uncomfortable about, resulting in a £100 charge for each breach of the rule.
Speaking backstage at The Brits, she explained: “I’m pissed off about the congestion charge. It’s ridiculous. I live there and I’ve got to pay.
“I can’t pay because they want my phone number. Why would I give my number? I may get a pay-as-you-go phone so they can’t know where I live.”
A Transport For London spokesman, speaking to The London Evening Standard, insisted Madonna is not entitled to “special treatment”.
He insisted: “You have to prove you are living in the congestion charge area to get the 90 per cent discount. That means giving your address, which is only fair.
“The rules are the same for everyone. No one gets special treatment.”

Madonna overcame a hernia to attend the Brit Awards, it was confirmed last night.
The 47-year-old pop queen, who is renowned for energetic dance routines, had what her spokeswoman described as “a minor operation” in the United States last week following her show-stopping performance at the Grammys.
The mother of two, who now lives in London, last night received the award for Best International Female Solo Artist at the Brits. The spokeswoman said the star had fully recovered.
Madonna was accompanied to the ceremony by her husband, Guy Ritchie. The couple have been dogged by rumours their marriage is in trouble.
When Madonna’s name was read out, Ritchie went to kiss his wife, but she appeared to turn away. In her acceptance speech, she thanked everyone except Ritchie.
The singer even thanked Stuart Price, the British producer with whom she has been linked. She ended: “Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank all of my British fans because without you I would just be another singer from across the Pond.”
