On June 12, 2026, Madonna and Absolut announced a new partnership for the Confessions II era.

The campaign, titled ABSOLUT ICON., brings together Madonna’s dance floor mythology with Absolut’s long history of art, fashion and pop culture collaborations.

For fans, the biggest visual detail is pure Confessions nostalgia: the campaign, shot by Ricardo Gomes, features Madonna wearing the iconic purple corset bodysuit she wore during her 2006 Grammy Awards performance and in the “Sorry” video.

The new creative was developed with Special Offer, the design team behind the Confessions II visual identity, making the partnership feel fully connected to the album’s world.

The announcement also highlights Madonna and Absolut’s longtime support of the LGBTQ+ community, with campaign placements planned in queer publications and along Pride parade routes.

With “Bring Your Love (Stuart Price Afterhours Mix)” also out today and Madonna & Graham announced for BBC One, the Confessions II era is officially having a very busy day.

On June 9, 2026, news continued to spread that Madonna had been named the new global ambassador for KIKO Milano, fronting the Italian beauty brand’s new campaign, The KIKO Show.

The campaign’s question — “Have you met KIKO?” — feels perfectly Madonna: playful, glamorous, a little mysterious, and built around transformation.

The collaboration also arrives during Madonna’s Confessions II era, with reports noting that the campaign features a Stuart Price remix of “Bring Your Love,” Madonna’s new collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter.

For fans, there are some delicious details: Madonna reportedly wears pieces from her own Confessions Tour archive, along with archival YSL by Tom Ford styling. The campaign was photographed by Rafael Pavarotti, with creative direction by Drew Elliott, makeup by Marcelo Gutierrez, hair by Eugene Souleiman, nails by Naomi Yasuda, and set design by Mary Howard.

There is also a sweet full-circle feeling to the partnership. Madonna Louise Ciccone, the Italian-American Queen of Pop, fronting an Italian beauty brand during a new dance-pop era? That is not just a campaign — that is Madonna mythology doing what it does best.

The KIKO Show has begun.

And yes — we have met KIKO.
