In 2014, however, she launched a very popular shoe and handbag line at Nordstrom’s wear, where she did quite well with purses ranging up to the $400’s. The line was reviewed well by many fashion industry experts, and for all of the Carrie Bradshaw fans out there, they could not be more thrilled.

Most do not know however, that this “material girl” also was dabbling in the fashion industry. Madonna dabbled with H&M and Dolce & Gabbana in 2007, while she created a line after her “Material Girl” with her daughter Lourdes and created a teenage line that Macy’s shoppers wouldn’t even accept (think bold and teenage acceptable). When Truth or Dare made an appearance, Madonna also designed a sexy lingerie line, a fragrance, elegant shoes for adults and a racy fragrance also completely in line with Truth or Dare.
