More than any other artist of popular culture, Madonna's fashions through the years invite her legions of fans to "dress up" in her many incarnations. So, what's a material girl to do when the diva of all makeovers decides to go on tour and calls the tour re-invention no less? Well, get out the lace, conebras, henna tattoos and cowgirl gear and get ready to Vogue!

Since her first concerts in 1985, Madonna has brought out the sincerest form of flattery naturally in her fans. In fact, the term "wanna-bes" came from Madonna's first concert tour in Seattle, Washington where girls of all ages dressed up like their idol. The fashions have changed over the years, but the desire to mimic them has not. Even on 2001's Drowned World Tour, fans could be found in Music pimp gear, cowboy hats, and tartan plaids to adopt her unique stage look.                                                           

So, now that tour time is once again upon us, what is is that fans will be wearing to the shows? What is the hardest and easiest thing to recreate? The Everybody Fan Club helps you along the way with choices and ideas. Here are some of the easiest looks to dress up as -

Easiest Looks

80's Madonna - Now that the 80's are making a comeback, it's easy to find new wave jewelry, pearls and bracelets. A bustier at Victoria's Secret with an 80's skirt from a thrift store will complete the look.

Tracksuit Madonna - This one's almost too easy, with tracksuits and sets all the rage now in department stores. Pick blues and oranges and you're good to go!

Evita Madonna - Even though it doesn't seem like it, the Evita look is easy to recreate in thrift stores. Get a fancy dress, fur stole, elaborate hat, and pull your hair back. Voila!

Cowgirl Madonna - Cowboy hats, sexy boots and jeans are easy enough to find at your local western wear store. Buy a tiara at Claire's jewelry to make it uniquely Madonna!

American Life Madonna - Military gear stores abound with treasures to get like Madonna does in her banned video. A seargent's hat would be a good find!

Express Yourself Madonna - With a manly suit and lacy bra underneath, you're almost halfway there to having this look down. A blonde wig, (if you don't already have the hair), and a homemade monocle will set you apart from the crowd. Express Yourself!

Breathless Madonna - A slinky black gown, (teen stores are good) and blonde curly wig with optional stole amost cement you as Breathless! Now, go and strike a pose!

Madonna's many French looks - Once you get the black beret you can do anything in her post '92 era including Bad Girl and Body of Evidence or opt to use it to go head-on with American Life. It's fully functional!

Take A Bow Look - Once you get the cool hat she had on the rest is easy. A tight bodice and short skirt and you will have your very own hunky matador!

American Pie Look - There's that tiara again, and combined with a cute top and jeans, it's one of the easiest looks to do!

Drowned World Tour Look - Those tartan plaids ended up everywhere and now you can get ripped black shirts pretty cheap. Combine the two and a little bit of attitude!

Those are the easy ones. But what about some of the hardest. Here they are - in no particular order -

1. Nothing Really Matters outfit
2. Human Nature outfit
3. Open Your Heart bustier
4. Blond Ambition bustier and suit (check Nicole's page for tips on this one)
5. Material Girl outfit (cheat and buy this outfit here)
6. La Isla Bonita dress
7. Anything from the Who's That Girl? movie
8. The Frozen outfit
9. Madonna's ROL look
10. Madonna's Hollywood look
11. The Erotica outfit
12. Everything in the Fever video!
13. Desperately Seeking Susan (unless you can find the jacket on eBay!)

Unless you have a special stylist or someone to make these clothes for you, they will be hard to pull off. But, keep in mind, effort is everything so trying gets good marks in our book. Now, to learn from the masters, cruise on over to our impersonators gallery. Click here to see photo galleries of impersonators and here to see the fans show their stuff!

Ok, so you don't want to necessarily look like Madonna, but you still want to show that you have got style! What are some ways to subtly stand out from the crowd? Here are our ideas -

1. Old Tour shirts - Yep, dust off that Virgin Tour shirt or even those gorgeous red Drowned World shirts and show your solidarity with your favorite tour. The great thing about these shirts is they show the world you have seen Mo before. Even better if you have a jacket!

2. Madonna T-shirts - Or if you have a favorite Madonna tee, here is the place to show people what you got. All fans have pretty big collections of shirts - whether professionally made, shirts from movies, or your own homemade style. If you want to support a fan club, (like the Everybody Fan Club ;)), that's a way to go to. The great thing is that it can be your own individual statement and yet be comfortable enough to dance in!

3. Club Clothes - Imitate Madonna in that she always looks good on the dance floor and go buy your fave current club clothes - teen stores or funky shops have plenty to offer and you'll be "sizzling" when you see her.

4. Dress Up - Make Madonna proud as you toast this event in an outfit fit for a princess (or prince). Tux and tails, (very Hollywood!) and gorgeous dresses make this a night to remember, (especially if you are going with a paramour).

5. Accesssorize - If nothing else, common Madonna accessories will do the trick and put you in the winners circle. Consider those rubber bracelets or a cruficix or two. Maybe put a blond streak in your hair. Definitely consider a homemade laminate showing how much you are a fan. (Everybody Fan Club laminates to print out and wear are available here)

These are all ways to make a Madonna concert memorable in more ways than one. By the clothes you wear, you can make a statement, just like Madonna!

Don't just stand there, let's get to it, strike a pose, there's nothing to it, Vogue!
