I went to see this exhibition at the weekend and I must say I was impressed! A stunning eclectic mix of outfits from her eighties ‘I should be so lucky’ break to the most recent Showgirl tour, many designed by Dolce & Gabbana. Not to mention those famous gold hot pants!

There’s a huge array of photography on show too – every album and single cover shot to date was on show.
