Madonna kicked off her world tour in grand style last night (August 23) by taking to the stage of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on a throne.
The star, who turned 50 just a few days ago, wore a sparkly black one-piece outfit designed by Givenchy and was surrounded by dancers in top hats and tails for the start of the Sticky and Sweet 51 date tour.
Madonna's husband, film director Guy Ritchie, and children Lourdes, Rocco and David, were amongst those in the 40,000-strong audience - far from capacity for the massive venue.
During the show, Madonna was joined by Kanye West, Britney Spears and Pharrell Williams who had all recorded special video spots.

Madonna's Wembley Stadium concert has come under criticism from fans, who were disappointed by technical difficulties at the event.
Many fans who attended last night's show (September 12) have been venting their frustration online and on radio stations, complaining about poor sound quality as they could not hear the Queen of Pop clearly.
Madonna also didn't arrive on stage until 40 minutes later than planned, which caused problems with some fans getting rail connections back into central London.

Six of us went to see Madonna at Wembley last night. The show was fantastic with great effects, lighting and dancing. Madonna is an A1 performer - what we could see of her that is! The venue was appalling, far too big to provide any atmosphere and the sound was awful. The worst bit was being left stranded in Wembley with 1000's of others after they closed the train station - a big thanks to Madonna for her considerate 40 minute late arrival on stage....
