Pop icon Madonna took to Instagram on Tuesday to share some of her most famous outfits from decades past.
“A trip to my archives is always a nostalgic trip down memory lane,” she wrote. “If I think about my journey through music over the last four decades — how could I not think about all the incredible clothes I got to wear and all the amazing designers I was lucky enough to work with!!”
Beginning this summer, Madonna will embark on a tour across Europe and North America. The Celebration World Tour’s setlist will span four decades of her iconic discography.
