She's been holding tightly to her crown as the Queen of Pop.
And Madonna proved she is not letting go of her reigning title any time soon as she arrived to the Met Gala in New York is a bizarre bondage costume on Monday.
The 57-year-old displayed her bare breasts with a cutout bodysuit - protecting her modesty with some nipple tape - as she also made sure to expose her derriere.
The singer's buttocks were on display with just a thong to keep some of her more intimate bits out of view.
In keeping with the bondage theme, Madonna wore kinky thigh-high boots with leather straps climbing up her thighs.
Completing her attire was a bejeweled tiara chain as she wore her bombshell blonde locks in flowing waves over her shoulders.

During an
on carpet interview with E!, Madonna complained that her booty was,
'It's a little bit cold.' She then added it was, 'Actually cold.'
The
Met Gala is hosted this year by Taylor Swift as well as Editor of
American Vogue Anna Wintour, Idris Elba, and Jonathan Ive, chief design
officer of Apple.
Wintour took over as chairwoman of the gala in 1999.

Since
then, she has transformed what was once a local fundraiser into one of
the world's most elite costume parties that ranks as a celeb magnet only
equaled by the Academy Awards red carpet - with A-listers hungry for a
chance to be the muse of a fashion designer.
The
honorary chairs are the Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld; Miuccia Prada;
and Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director.
All
will be in attendance except for Mr. Lagerfeld, who will be in Cuba
because the Chanel Cruise show is in Havana the day after the gala,
according to the New York Times.

The
newspaper added that tickets this year are $30,000 apiece, and tables
are $275,000. The party and exhibit are sponsored (this year Apple is
the main underwriter), so all the money raised from ticket sales goes to
the Costume Institute. Last year, more than $12.5 million was raised.
While
the price of a ticket may itself be an insurmountable bar for most, the
event is also invite only, with Wintour presiding meticulously over the
guest list, which predictably includes film stars, pop sensations, and
fashion models each year - with the addition most recently of reality
stars.
The
theme for this year's ball is Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of
Technology, which seeks to prove that the machine is an 'equal
protagonist' to the hand in creating the best fashions of our recent
past, our present and our future.
