Madonna Begins World Tour in London with Ukrainian Flag and Wearing Ukrainian Designer's Hats

American singer Madonna, who kicked off her world tour in London, brought a Ukrainian flag on stage and draped it around herself, accompanied by a ballet ensemble wearing hats designed by Ukrainian designer Ruslan Baginskiy.

This was announced by the Ukrainian designer on his Instagram page, where he expressed his gratitude to Madonna, saying, 'Thank you, Madonna! For believing in me from the very beginning. For your incredible support... This support is not only mine, it's the support of my country. Our victory is not only through culture but also through unity. Through the absence of fear. You have always been an example of this, and you truly mean it,' wrote Ruslan Baginskiy.

Madonna's highly anticipated Celebration tour began in London on Saturday after being postponed for three months due to the 65-year-old singer's hospitalization in June.

During the concert, she displayed a blue and yellow flag, which she draped over her shoulders. The pop icon, along with her ballet ensemble, wore hats designed by Ukrainian designer Ruslan Baginskiy.

The pop diva performed over 40 of her hit songs. At various points during the show, her 27-year-old daughter, Lourdes Leon, her 17-year-old adopted daughter, Mercy James, joined her for a piano ballad "Bad Girl," and her 17-year-old son David and 11-year-old daughter Stella took the stage.

At one point during the show, it had to be paused due to a technical sound issue. During this time, Madonna entertained the audience by sharing stories from the early days of her career.

The star also discussed her health issues this year, during which she spent several days in the intensive care unit.

A year and a half ago, the renowned American singer Madonna also showed support for Ukraine, condemning the Russian invaders and calling their actions senseless and greed-driven. She made social media posts about the violence and shelling of peaceful Ukrainian cities by Russian forces. She also supported the "Voices of Children" foundation, which provides assistance to women and children affected by the war.

Madonna is considered the most successful artist in the history of music. Her album sales worldwide have exceeded 300 million copies, and her songs consistently topped the world charts. She has gained such widespread popularity that she is often referred to as the 'Queen of Pop' and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
