Madonna will be swapping music for modelling once again, as she becomes the latest cover girl for Dolce And Gabbana.
The Italian fashion duo – who designed iconic costumes for her Girlie Show and Sticky And Sweet tours in 1993 and 2008 – announced on their online magazine, Swide.com, that the Queen of Pop is the face of their spring/summer 2010 campaign.
“To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” said designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
It’s the latest modelling coup for Madonna, who was the face of Louis Vuitton for two seasons.
The ads were shot last week in New York with acclaimed photographer Steven Klein.

Madonna, who has promoted school building in the African country Malawi, is now turning her star power onto projects to improve the notorious slums of Rio de Janeiro.
The 51-year-old star is in Rio to visit some of the Brazilian city’s slums, or “favelas”, and meet with one of the country’s richest businessmen to discuss setting up social projects, said state Governor Sergio Cabral.
“She will get to know some social projects; she is enchanted with Rio and wants to help,” Cabral said. The beachside city has about 1,000 slums, many of them controlled by violent drug gangs or other armed groups.
A major outbreak of violence last month, which followed Rio’s selection to host the 2016 Olympics, underlined its stubborn security and poverty problems.
