“If I think about my journey through music over the last 4 decades— how could I not think about all the incredible clothes I got to wear and all the amazing designers I was lucky enough to work with!!” she continued.

“When I was a little girl I remember my mother was always cold. Partly because she was sick but also because she never had a coat. She always spent what little money we had on our coats and I remember standing outside waiting for the schoolbus With my mother shivering in the cold in the middle of winter!!” Madonna wrote.

“Years later when I became successful my mother’s sister said to me, ‘Now You can buy all the coats your mother couldn’t buy for herself!’ The journey from the memory of my shivering mother in Winter to me shivering in the over air-conditioned storage space where all my costumes are stored is quite remarkable! I am overwhelmed with gratitude.”

“Every time I put on an incredible coat I think of my Mother. I hope she likes my taste in costumes But most of all i hope she’s warm! 💗” she added.

One star is sticking up for her longtime friend Madonna.
