Early reaction on Twitter was swift and vicious. "Looks like she's prepping to skate a long program," wrote New York magazine's the Fug Girls. "We don't know what looks more strained -- Madonna's bust or her face," Tweeted style bloggers Tom and Lorenzo. "Better in a bullring," wrote Toronto-based journalist Lisa Tant.
For my two cents, this look gives me the same uneasy feeling as walking in on the parents in the bedroom.

But it does follow the spirit of Madonna's new video "Living for Love," released last week on Snapchat, in which she dances with minotaurs and wears several matador-themed outfits, including a toreador jacket by Jeremy Scott.
