The Material Girl isn’t giving up her role as the face of Louis Vuitton yet. Following the success of her spring/summer ads for the luxury goods giant, Madonna will continue on as the face of the luxury house’s Fall/Winter 2009 collection. Madonna and Marc Jacobs will collaborate for the second time with famed photographer Steven Meisel to shoot the new ad images in New York City. The first images of the campaign are slated to appear in August issues of fashion magazines. We can’t wait to see what Madonna and Marc have in store for us this time around. Tell us: Are you excited to see Madonna’s new Louis Vuitton ads?

At 12, Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Ciccone Leon is already a budding fashionista. Like her mother, the tween has shown a flair for eye-catching ensembles — and loves a vintage look. Spotted in the Big Apple just last month the teen was sporting these familiar oversized glasses. Lourdes’ ensemble seemed to us like a true blast from the — televised — past: Doesn’t she resemble Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Patty Greene from 1982’s shortlived series Square Pegs? Call it geek chic, or just plain cool, but could Madonna’s daughter be inspired by one of fashion’s most playful characters, SJP herself? — By Liz McNeil

This could be your best excuse for booking a last-minute trip to London: A massive private collection of Madonna’s most famous and infamous costumes goes on display for the very first time starting Saturday. From the black and gold-coned “Open Your Heart” bustier to the wedding gown she wore on the “Like a Virgin” tour to the baseball uniform she wore in A League of Their Own, more than 300 of the Material Girl’s dresses, costumes, artifacts and personal items will be up for viewing at the Old Truman Brewery through March 22. The unforgettable pink gown (and gloves) that she wore in her “Material Girl” video could even be yours! The owners will be auctioning the dress off to one lucky — and probably very rich — bidder after the exhibit ends. Tickets to the exhibit, entitled “Simply Madonna: The Materials of the Girl,” are available through ticketmaster or preview the collection at marqueecapital.com.

When we first saw the new Louis Vuitton ads starring Madonna, we knew it was a fashion match made in heaven. Now, watch what went down behind the scenes on the Parisian set, as the Queen of Pop hangs out with the King of Fashion Cool, Louis Vuitton’s design director Marc Jacobs. And did we mention the accessories?

For weeks, rumors have been swirling that Madonna would be gracing Louis Vuitton’s new ad campaign. The French fashion house has remained mum — until now. Her Madgesty will indeed appear in the Spring/Summer ‘09 ad campaign that will hit magazines in February 2009. The star is shot by legendary photographer Steven Meisel (who infamously collaborated with Madonna on her Sex book) in a sultry French cafe setting. When it came to choosing the new face, designer Marc Jacobs wouldn’t have it any other way. “I wanted the campaign to be very bold, very sensual and very atmospheric. To carry off all these references and all its sophistication, we needed the ultimate performer — and for me, that is Madonna,” says Jacobs. We couldn’t agree more. Tell us: What do you think of Madonna’s Louis Vuitton ads? Do you think she was the best choice?

Hollywood is starting to look an awful lot like a three-ring circus these days — with some pretty hot ringmasters! Madonna started the trend (but when doesn’t she?) with her white top hat on stage for her Sticky & Sweet Tour, followed by Britney Spears and Heidi Klum. We want to know who you think wears the classic topper best. Vote in our poll below!

No matter what’s happening in her life, Madonna is still in love with British brand Bodas’s organic supima cotton T-shirts. The singer wears them “to work out, to run errands, to go out — she loves them for everyday,” a source tells PEOPLE. (She also likes them for primetime — she wore a black short-sleeve T in her 4 Minutes video with Justin Timberlake.) A Bodas spokeswoman tells PEOPLE that the singer most recently purchased a handful this summer. “She wears them out, and then her assistant comes in and buys five more,” she says. And unlike, say, Madonna’s one-of-a-kind designer tour outfits, you can actually purchase these looks. They’re $90 for a tank top or short sleeve, and $98 for long-sleeve styles, available at www.bodas.co.uk or at Barneys New York. – Courtney Rubin
