Madonna put on quite a show while performing at the Sandbox Pride held at Terminal 5 in New York City on Thursday night. The Queen of Pop sprung a surprise on her fans as she invited Saucy Santana onstage to deliver a mash-up of her hit song “Material Girl.” Belvedere Vodka was the sprits sponsor at the event, serving up cocktails inspired by the pop icon like “The Material Girl” and “Into The Groove.”

The chart topping musician made sure to show out for the occasion, kicking off New York City’s Pride weekend in an Adidas outfit that included a hoodie and matching yellow shorts. She put her own personal flair and edge on the look by adding a plunging bustier top and sheer tights.

The “Papa Don’t Preach” hitmaker later changed into a black cropped vest that was emblazoned with patches of the letter “M” allover. Underneath she wore a long-sleeve sheer purple top and tiny sequin shorts. Madonna added a bevy of silver chain bracelets to the look and leather fingerless gloves.

Rounding out the musician’s ensemble was a pair of black combat boots. The shoe style included a thick buckle around the ankle, chunky outsole and stacked block heel.
