How Madonna is turning into Gemma Collins, from dodgy fashion to raunchy lingerie shoots & cavorting with animals
Who wore it best?
ONE is the undisputed Diva Queen, with eye-popping outfits, spectacular strops and millions of adoring fans.
The other is Madonna.
Gemma Collins couldn’t stop gushing over the Material Girl legend on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories in 2021.
But it also appears the US pop star, 66 – real name Madonna Louise Ciccone – has been taking style inspiration from The GC.
The question is, who wore it best?
Glorious Gemma, 43, now worth an astonishing £7.3million, or £850million megastar Madge?
You decide . .
DRESS YOU UP IN MY CLOTHES
TREND-SETTER Gemma wore a delicately patterned dress for dinner at The Dorchester in London in 2020 (above).
It clearly took Madonna a year to pluck up the courage to copy the look, stepping out in this similarly colourful number in 2021.
LIKE A VERSION …OF MADONNA
LBC host Steve Allen may once have called her Gemma the Hutt, but the body-confident reality star proudly posted this pic of her booty in a thong swimsuit.
The skimpy get-up was spookily similar to the neon pink leotard that Madonna wore in the video for her 2005 hit single, Hung Up.
MADAME X AND MS ESSEX
THAT’S a real lack of material, girl! Madonna left little to the imagination in 2021 as she flashed the flesh in a bondage-style bra, lace briefs and a cheeky chauffeur’s cap.
The following year, Gemma gave fans an eyeful as she sprawled on a bed in just her undies – as her manager struggled to wrestle her out of tight-fitting trousers.
BIG SHOULDERS ARE IN VOGUE
MADGE was spotted rocking giant tan shoulder pads, doubled up sunnies and long latex gloves at New York Fashion Week on Tuesday.
She must have seen Gemma strutting her stuff in an equally broad-shouldered Gerda Truubon gown at an ITV summer party in 2017. It’s a style best left in the Eighties!
MATCHY MADGY
ARE Gem and Madge trying to outshine one another?
The Towie star put everyone else in the shade at The GC’s Big Night Out stage show in 2022, wearing glitzy sunglasses.
Meanwhile, this snap of Madonna sporting diamante- encrusted specs gives off some serious Dame Edna Everage vibes.
NEIGH OF LIGHT
GEMMA is remembered for horsing around the garden with a Shetland pony during her time on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016.
Not long after, in a nod to the scenes, she posed with a tiny nag for a fashion shoot.
It was only last week that Madonna posted snaps with her white Irish sports horse Roller, as she rocked a sheer hot pink dress.
IS GEM JEWEL IN THE CROWN?
LOOKING very regal, Gemma sashayed out of a London nightspot in 2017 wearing a crown.
Madonna, meanwhile, managed to annoy the whole of the Catholic Church – yet again! – by donning a gothic-style take on the Papal tiara dotted with crucifixes for New York’s glitzy Met Gala in 2018. Talk about causing a right royal row.
