Madonna wears expensive clothing while visiting the poor nation of Malawi. Actually, poor isn’t the word…I believe Madonna herself called it a poverty stricken nation. So why does Madonna and daughter Lourdes wear designer duds worth thousands of dollars while touring?
More pictures of Madonna after the break…
Madonna arrived in a sweatsuit one day worth $2,800, according to the Huffington Post.
After arriving she toured an impoverished school but refused to talk to reporters. She was, in the words of the AP, “dressed casually” in a black velour tracksuit and white fedora. But that casual look costs about $2,800.
A look at the photos shows her dressed-down attire is a Chanel tracksuit, tone-on-tone labels blazing from her shoulder and the stripes down her leg. Huffington Post placed a call to the 57th Street store in New York Monday with a casual inquiry, and a helpful saleswoman priced a similar ensemble at $2,800.
A zip front jacket is $1,600 and the pants about $1,200. A cheaper alternative to the one Madonna wore in Malawi is the $1,200 pullover jacket.
How much clean water do you think $3 grand could buy in Malawi? How many bowls of oatmeal would that provide for those starving kids? A lot. But Madonna wears the clothes to show off what she has. Yeah, yeah, she’s building a school, but these kids and their families need to eat. If they can’t eat or have clean water, a school is of no use.
How much do you think that black dress and the heels cost Madonna?
