Lots of material girl: Madonna was keen to conceal rather than reveal her body as she attended the glamorous premiere of her film W.E. in New York last night

Madonna has been vocal in her admiration of Wallis Simpson - the subject of her new film., W.E.

And it seems that sartorially she may have borrowed quite heavily from the late American socialite's stylebook as she appeared on the red carpet last night in an outfit that had a strong vintage look.

Dressed in a dramatic sweeping velvet black and grey gown, with a shroud like ruffled wrap that covered her muscular arms - and veiny hands - she topped off the look with a retro style Marcel wave which softened the look.
