Icons Only: Madonna Wears Custom KIMONO SK at Her Oscar After-Party

When the Queen of Pop hosts the most exclusive event of the awards season, the world watches. This year, at her legendary Oscar After-Party, Madonna made a powerful statement by choosing KIMONO SK.

We were deeply honored to see her wearing a custom kimono ensemble designed by our founder, Sueko Oshimoto. Madonna styled the piece with her signature fearless edge—draping the black silk kimono over a structured corset, cinched with a pale pink obijime (cord). It was a masterclass in "East meets West," proving once again that the kimono is not a relic of the past, but a living, breathing garment of high fashion.

A Moment in History: Madonna & Mick Jagger The night became instantly iconic when Madonna was captured alongside rock legend Mick Jagger. Seeing these two cultural titans together—with our kimono creation at the center of the frame—was a surreal and unforgettable moment for our atelier. It symbolizes exactly what KIMONO SK stands for: bridging cultures, eras, and styles to create something timeless.

Why This Look Matters For the modern woman (and the global superstar), the kimono offers a silhouette like no other. It commands attention not through exposure, but through presence, texture, and artistry. Madonna’s look is the ultimate proof that authentic Japanese craftsmanship can be seamlessly integrated into modern haute couture and worn on the world's biggest stages.

Whether for a red carpet, a wedding, or a private celebration, KIMONO SK is dedicated to bringing this level of unparalleled artistry to your personal story.
