Oh Madonna. Words (almost) fail us. She's clearly over all that 'directing' business, and is now getting set for her musical comeback - more specifically, her hugely hyped half-time performance during the Super Bowl this weekend.

The 53-year-old was speaking about said performance at the Super Bowl press conference yesterday - for which she decided to wear one of the most bizarre outfits we've seen in a while...

Can you imagine anyone other than Madonna in a cropped waistcoat, baggy trouser pinstripe suit - complete with pocket chain, obvs - plus boots, leather gloves, a crucifix necklace and a lace corset? (Actually possibly Janet Jackson. Or Britney. But they'd also add a trilby. She missed a trick there.)

Either way, it's all very much making us miss the I'm-a-director-therefore-I-wear-ladylike-dresses Madonna. We feel bad that we didn't really appreciate her at the time.

The video for Madonna's new single Give Me All Your Luvin (featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A) touched down (pun intended) today too - hit play below to watch:

She's no stranger to a style reinvention: look back at Madonna's fashion history below:
