Fitness fanatic Madonna turns up to the Italian gym she owns in a tight-fitting skirt and sky-high Louboutin heels

She is a well known fitness fanatic who is often seen in her gym gear.
But it was a more formal affair for Madonna when she visited her very own gym in Italy on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old superstar ditched her workout attire for a chic designer outfit as she visited her fitness centre in the Colosseo district of Rome.

The performer - who recently celebrated turning 55 in France over the weekend - turned on the style big-time as she visited Hard Candy Fitness.

No doubt heading in for a meeting, Madonna was all business in a tight black skirt teamed with a black and white blouse and black Christian Louboutin heels.

It has been a busy few days for the multi-millionaire performer following her Marie Antoinette lavish themed party in which she wore a curly blonde wig and eye patch in keeping with the theme of the celebrations.
Completing the famous look - for the milestone event catered by luxury bakery Ladurée - Madonna was clad in an extravagant, embellished garment that revealed her lean legs and ample cleavage.
She was pictured sitting on her younger boyfriend Brahim Zaibat's lap at the bash with a cocktail clasped firmly in her hand.

'Perhaps we had too much Cale! But at my Birthday Party all I could see was LOVE,' she posted along with an Instagram shot of herself during the night.
'Perhaps I had too much Champagne! I meant to write CAKE!' Madonna added, insinuating that she may have indulged at her special soiree.
