Madonna's new stage costumes were designed to help her "make history"

Givenchy Haute Couture designer Riccardo Tisci made the outfit Madonna wears in the opening act of the second leg of her 'Sticky and Sweet' world tour - which kicked off in London on Saturday (04.07.09) - and was determined to make her look as electrifying as possible.

He said: "The new costume is super couture, sensual, Goth, bondage.

"What I wanted for the opening was to give a very iconic view of Madonna. She's wearing an outfit that will make history. I wanted to do something even stronger than what he designed for her in the tour's first leg because she wants to be stronger."
