Two outfits from Givenchy Haute Couture by designer Riccardo Tisci have been created for the "queen of pop". Givenchy described the first as "a reference to 'Gangster Pimp' and Art Deco" and the second as "a Gypsy inspiration".

"I feel incredibly fortunate to have been given the opportunity to offer the world of Givenchy Haute Couture to Madonna the Icon, the Artist, the Woman for whom I have so much respect and admiration, " Tisci said in a press statement.
