She’s known for outrageous, candy-coloured costumes, and for jazzing up the humble leotard to turn it into something really spectacular. It’s actually hard to find a photo of Katy where she’s performing in anything else!

Lady Gaga

It seems when Gaga’s not wearing meat, or a whole pile of Kermit the frogs, you’ll most likely find her in some ingenious combination of leotard and fishnets!

Madonna

Madge has never shied away from a one-piece, so why stop now? From Blond Ambition to “Hung Up” and everything in between (and since), Madonna’s basically the original queen of the leo…
