Madonna leaves fans raging as she flogs pink cloth square for huge sum on online store ahead of VMAs comeback
MADONNA is an expensive Material Girl – flogging a square of pink fabric for £40.
The Queen of Pop, 68, posed in a pink veil on the cover of her No1 album Confessions II and is now selling replica versions on her online store.
The item is described as a 58-inch sheer pink veil, with a “custom Madonna graphic tag” in the corner.
However, fans are also being charged £5.54 in shipping fees on top of the £40 cost.
One fan joked: “Madonna really said, ‘Why buy sheer pink voile for $3.99 a yard when you can buy it from me for $45 with a tiny tag sewn on it?’”
Another fan account for the star wrote: “That’s a lot for a piece of fabric #Madonna.”
The item is among a raft of new merchandise, including a £40 rhinestone drinks tumbler, £40 tote bag, £35 water bottle and £7 pencil set.
Madonna will tomorrow release a remix of her track Danceteria featuring Charli xcx, 34, months after an online spat.
They fell out in April when Charli gave an interview to Vogue and quoted a line from her track Rock Music, in which she sings: “The dance floor is dead, so now we’re making rock music”.
But Madonna, who had just launched the campaign for her dance-inspired album Confessions II, clapped back in an Instagram post in which she wrote: “If your dance floor feels dead, maybe you’re playing the wrong music.”
They made amends when they were photographed at Paris Fashion Week in June and then hosted a club night together.
It is now hoped they will perform their track together for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
With 11 nominations, Madonna is the frontrunner to win big at the event
She will open the show – her first performance at the ceremony since 2003 when she famously kissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on stage during a mash-up of her songs Like A Virgin and Hollywood.
Sources in the US said she is likely to be joined by multiple guests although exact details of her set are being kept under wraps.
Charli, who is nominated for four awards including Best Pop and Best Long Form Video, will be in the US at the same time as she is currently on a tour across North America.
However, she played in Boston on the east coast last night (THURS) and is due to perform in Washington on Monday.
Snoop Dogg, 54, will host the ceremony, which will be available to watch on streaming service Paramount+ and from 9pm on MTV on Monday.
