26 years ago today, Madonna finishes her 3 days at Seattle's Paramount Theater where she had kicked off her Virgin Tour.

This is my favorite outfit from The Virgin Tour, designed by Marlene Stewart, and she wore a variation of it in Philadelphia with video footage. Click Here.

The Hostess Outfit.

The Hostess Outfit, one of my favorites, was popularized in the 1950's. The outfit, for entertaining or lounging, was worn over slacks or capri pants. The front was a fitted top with a train that would be either short, mid-length or long and flowing. From Edith Head to Jean Louis, it's nearly impossible to get through a film of the 1950's and not have a sighting. Madonna asked Marlene Stewart, her personal costumer of the time, to design one for her and most of us know it from the True Blue video.

"I think we are all going to remember May 29, 1985 as the day that Madonna took Philadelphia by storm!!!"

"We learned one thing tonight and that is Madonna Louise Ciccone is a consummate professional. From the first moment she knows exactly how to grab her audience and hold them with a show that is expertly staged, choreographed to the hilt and exploding with energy! A sold out audience celebrated The Coming of Madonna! Free spirit, pop queen, cultural phenomenon. With cocky self assurance and a definite flare for the dramatic, she covers the stage in a non-stop orgy of entertainment that is as much dance as it is song."- Judy Barton
