Madonna’s costume designer, Marlene Stewart, went down in memory of the singer’s wedding to Sean Penn.
The Queen of Pop’s longtime costume designer said while recalling the wedding that took place in 1985, told Best magazine, “It was at a house in Malibu. The roads were inaccessible because the press was everywhere.”
Marlene added: “We intended to do an adaptation and take pictures. But the police stopped me! I insisted I had to come through.”
She further added that there were no cell phones, saying, “So you had pagers and I was just trying to look for someone.”
According to the costume designer, she was “eventually” able to pull through with the dress.
“Eventually I got through and Herb Ritts [the photographer of Madonna’s ‘True Blue’ album cover] took a picture of her getting ready in the bathroom and I was under the dress pulling up the garter belt!” she recalled.
The couple met on the set of Madonna’s Material girl music video and married six months later.
Madonna and Sean Penn were married for four years before their split in 1989.
Their relationship was marred by allegations of domestic violence, public spats and accusations of infidelity, according to the report PEOPLE.
