Madonna's back in hot pants

After months of ladylike glamour, the queen of pop is back to dressing 30 years younger for a New York night out.

Just as we were really starting to dig Madonna's foray into the world of all things demure - she's really taken to Forties'-style over-the-knee figure-hugging dresses and slinky, floor-sweeping gowns of late - she goes and performs a sartorial 360 and throws it all away.

The 53-year-old mother of four - yes, let's reiterate that: the 53-year-old mother of four - got into her groove on Saturday night New York in a dominatrix-style outfit that even the glamour-loving TOWIE girls would think twice about leaving the house in. Cue a black satin corset, matching "big knickers" and a white silk shirt knotted at the waist, topped off with a pair of fishnets and studded, lace-up over-the-knee boots. That's right, no dress, just underwear and accessories... and a big old grin that said "Check me out, yes I do have a 24-year-old boyfriend!".

We thought she had learned from this year's Oscars outing that dressing more provocatively than your 15-year-old daughter (who incidentally sat on the sidelines and gave her mum's moves some major space) would raise eyebrows, but the queen of pop seemingly can't say no to fishnets and spandex (better still if they've got a Dolce & Gabbana label in them) when she knows there's a trip to the dance floor on the horizon.

Madonna, to quote some of your finer lyrics: I don't wanna hear; I don't wanna know, please don't say you're sorry. I've seen it all before....
