Madonna shares clip of new Sam Smith collaboration Vulgar as she dances in a black bodysuit
She and Sam Smith teased a hint of their edgy new song last week with close-up photos of corsets.
And Madonna raised the bar soon after by posting a video of her lip syncing to their new song Vulgar on TikTok.
The 64-year-old music icon appeared in a steamy all-black ensemble in footage with a grainy black-and-white filter that made the video somewhat resemble some of her classical music videos, including influential videos for Vogue and Justify My Love.
The hitmaker (born Madonna Ciccone) wore a sleek black bodysuit with a zipper that ran down her front that emphasized her toned figure and curves.
The outfit featured sheer black covering that fell to her thighs and had thick straps that wrapped around her legs, and she added a striking pair of black fishnet stockings to her look.

The Like A Virgin singer kept on point with sheer black elbow-length gloves that left her fingers bare.
She wore her long hair parted in the center with thick curls that fell over her shoulders, and she completed her ensemble with a thick metal cross that dangled from her neck.
Madonna has been criticized by some fans lately for showing off her particularly smooth, full face, which many have speculated could be due to fillers, but she revealed a more natural-looking face in her latest clip.
While looking at the camera, the singer emphasized the lyrics with her hands, and at one point she put a shapely leg in front of the camera.
“Let’s get into the groove,” she began in a rhythmic, almost rapped episode that referenced her 1985 hit Into The Groove, which was featured in the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan, in which she starred.
‘You know exactly what to do. / Boy get on your knees / ’cause I’m Madonna,’ she continued.
“If you f*** with Sam tonight / You f*** with me.” / So watch what you say / or I’ll split your banana,’ she added suggestively.
The aesthetic of the lo-fi clip matched the teaser photo she and Smith previously shared, featuring grainy black-and-white photography of two different corsets, with the photos spliced down the middle.

Clutch your pearls: Their collaboration follows on from Smith’s single with Kim Petras, the hit Unholy. They were criticized for their Grammy performance by conservatives and right-wingers, who said they were offended by cartoonish displays, including a top hat with devil horns; Smith seen in London in April
Smith previously collaborated with Kim Petras on Unholy, which topped the Billboard 100 singles chart.
Smith and Petras then performed the single at the Grammy Awards shortly after winning the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award for the song.
They unleashed a fiery and somewhat sexually suggestive performance that brought down the hall, but also led to much criticism from conservative and right-wing viewers.
Some complained on social media that the performance was a form of “devil worship,” and others complained about the footage, despite much of it being cartoonish, such as a top hat with horns attached that Smith wore.
