Madonna wore a Moschino camo dress to the Met Gala in NYC on Monday evening complete with parachute straps and a canteen.
The look was far from feminine and instantly was criticized for being distasteful. Tweeters accused her of mocking the military. Sarah Paulson even seemed shocked when she set eyes on the Rebel Heart singer, making a scared face.
But instead of slipping into something pretty for the Met after party, Madonna took her battle style a step further by changing into camo slacks and black combat boots.

Make it military in camouflage trousers this season
The Met Gala is renowned for its seriously high end red carpet.
The most A-list of A-listers get dolled up in luxury labels hoping to make a fashion statement as they make their way up those famous stairs. And Madonna certainly succeeded in doing just that at last night's event.
The pop superstar attended with Jeremy Scott and wore a camouflage print dress complete with undercover train and leather gloves, before changing into camo pants from Moschino's Pre-Fall 2017 collection for the after party.
This military print is a perennial wardrobe staple but is better suited to baggy utility trousers than a full length gown. Madonna's won't be available for a while yet but until then you can recreate her look by shopping our edit below.
We've found cool camouflage by G-Star, Marc Jacobs, Current/Elliott and Forever 21 so we've got all budgets covered.
The singer still had on a camo top over a bra, but added a black corset top with what looked like parachute straps.
The 58-year-old singer did not appear to be in the best of spirits.
She was accompanied by designer Jeremy Scott as they walked into 1OAK where Kendall Jenner was seen with A$AP Rocky.

She posed with Moschino's designer Jeremy Scott, who was also her date to 2015's Met Gala, sharing an Insta photo with her close pal before the event, and captioning it: 'Ready butches!' with five gun emojis.

The Met Gala is the highlight of the fashion calendar.
And with ground-breaking Comme des Garçons designer Rei Kawakuboas named as this year's theme, the famed fund-raiser is sure to provide plenty of spectacle.
The Tokyo-based designer has been deemed worthy of the solo focus of this year's gala - which inaugurates the museum's eagerly-awaited accompanying exhibit of her label.

It is the first time the gala and exhibit has focused on one living designer since 1983, when it highlighted the work of Yves Saint Laurent.
Vogue editor Anna Wintour co-chairs the gala, joined by Katy Perry, Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen and Pharrell Williams.
Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton, told AP that Kawakubo is considered the world's 'most important and influential designer' of the moment and 'has consistently defined and re-defined the aesthetics of our time.'

Known for bold, experimental clothing, Kawakubo's designs have an austere aesthetic and a cult following.
The 74-year-old officially founded her cerebral design house in 1973 to critical acclaim - and was dubbed 'anti-fashion' for challenging the notions of beauty with her innovative aesthetic.
Comme des Garcons has been showing collections in Paris each season since 1981.
The Metropolitan Mu seum in New York - where the annual gala is held - is displaying 120 Comme des Garçons womenswear designs by Kawakubo, spanning the past 35 years, since her first Paris show.
