A recreation of an iconic look worn by Madonna during her 2004 Reinvention world tour. A client (male) commissioned the costume to wear to a charity event in Fire Island, NY. In attendance was a representative from the Guinness Book of World Records, who documented a total of 440 men in drag, donning various looks of Madonna throughout her career. The event is currently the Guinness record-holder for ‘the largest gathering of Madonna impersonators.’
