Madonna wears provocative Marie Antoinette costume as she sits on toyboy lover Brahim Zaibat's lap at her 55th birthday bash

She's one of the most recognised cultural icons of our time.
But to celebrate her 55th birthday, Madonna looked to another leading lady for inspiration.
Instead of being the birthday princess, Madge opted to be the birthday queen, taking on the role of Marie Antoinette for a lavish themed party in France over the weekend.

All hail Queen Madge! Madonna sat on boyfriend Brahim Zaibat's lap wearing a provocative Marie Antoinette-themed costume at her 55th birthday party on Saturday night

Replicating the Queen Of France, the Like A Virgin pop star wore a voluminous, curly blonde wig, similar to the one Marie Antoinette wore.
She also donned significantly long lashes and a flirty pink pout as one of her baby blues remained concealed with a black, heart-shaped patch.
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.
With his arm around her waist, the 25-year-old looks into the camera as Madonna closes her eyes.
'Perhaps we had too much Cale! But at my Birthday Party all I could see was LOVE,' Madonna 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.

The queen: Madonna dressed as Marie Antoinette to celebrate her 55th birthday in France over the weekend

To go with her party's theme, the star was referring to Antoinette's famous phrase of 'let them eat cake,' and there was clearly enough cake to be eaten at this party which included a five-layer dessert.
Others embraced the night's notions as well, as plenty of guests - including her beau - were dressed up for the occasion.
It wasn't a surprise that her boyfriend Brahim was in attendance, as he arrived with her in the South Of France last weekend to pay a visit to Menton, a picturesque coastal town close to the French-Italian border and site of the annual Festival de Musique de Menton – a celebration of classical music with performances from a range of global artists and symphony orchestras.

And the swanky music was sure to continue at the French Revolution party, which included a classy white piano as part of the décor.
But that didn't make for a stuffy soiree.
Though Madonna was seen primping herself with a fan, she also let loose and revealed her silly side, sticking her tongue out for a photo op.
And she was even seen lounging on the ground at one point.

Sandwich! The men were clearly all about the birthday girl

Fierce: The 55-year-old looked rather intimidating with her eye patch

It's huge! The pink cake had multiple layers

But the Lucky Star singer could do no wrong on Saturday, as pictures portrayed her as the center of attention from guys and girls alike.
With Madonna's status, even celebrities who weren't physically at the birthday bash went out of their way to wish her well from overseas.
'Happy Birthday M!!! Hope you're a happy girl. Singing you your birthday song :) Xo,' Britney Spears gushed with a sweet picture of the two.
