Here’s something we didn’t know we needed, but are ever so grateful Madonna knew we did. The Queen of Pop took to Instagram at the start of this week to take us through the archives of some of her iconic cone bras and corsets.

Alongside a series of photos of some of her most iconic throwback pieces of clothing she recently rediscovered in her extensive storage space, Madonna’s caption read, “A trip to my archives is always a nostalgic trip down memory lane! If I think about my journey through music over the last 4 decades— how could I not think about all the incredible clothes I got to wear and all the amazing designers I was lucky enough to work with!!”
Among the memorable pieces featured in the slideshow were a number of Jean Paul Gaultier-designed cone bra designs that Madge famously wore throughout her 90s Blonde Ambition era.
Continuing her trip down memory lane, Madonna recalled, “When I was a little girl I remember my mother was always cold. Partly because she was sick but also because she never had a coat. She always spent what little money we had on our coats and I remember standing outside waiting for the school bus With my mother shivering in the cold in the middle of winter!!” Years later when I became successful my mother’s sister said to me, ‘Now You can buy all the coats your mother couldn’t buy for herself!’”
“The journey from the memory of my shivering mother in Winter to me shivering in the over air-conditioned storage space where all my costumes are stored is quite remarkable!,” Madonna continued. “I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Every time I put on an incredible coat I think of my Mother. I hope she likes my taste in costumes but most of all i hope she’s warm!”
Less than three months away from kicking of her Celebration Tour, honoring four decades of her hits, maybe we’ll see some of these iconic costumes when Madonna hits the stage on July 15 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
