Madonna laced up custom Saint Laurent boots for her FIFA World Cup 2026 Final halftime performance at New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday.
Madonna, who opened up the halftime performance, modeled custom metallic leather Danceteria boots from Saint Laurent, where Anthony Vaccarello is creative director and Corrado De Biase is the freelance design director of men’s and women’s shoes. It’s a go-to shoe style for her tracing back to her “Confessions on a Dance Floor” era, featuring a tight lace-up shaft reaching to her knee and a block heel.
The subtly shimmering purple of Madonna’s boots complemented the rest of her look including a pink Rosamosario corset, Diesel’s lurex jersey zip top and Saint Laurent’s Teddy jacket and shorts. Her accessories included Swarovski-embellished Sermoneta gloves and several Swarovski pieces including custom earrings, a Millenia necklace and an Una Angelic necklace with a crystalized whistle. Madonna works with stylist Rita Melssen.
