 For the costumes , Madonna collaborated with designer Marlene Stewart . She expanded on the idea of bringing her popular video characters to life onstage , reworking scenes from " True Blue " , " Open Your Heart " , " Papa Don 't Preach " and " La Isla Bonita " . For " Open Your Heart " , Madonna reused the Stewart designed black bustier worn by her in the video , complete with tassels , golden tips and ribbing with fishnets on leg . Stewart 's other designs included a Spanish style dress for " La Isla Bonita " and a gold lamé jacket for the " White Heat " sequence . The last dress of the show was visually amusing and , according to Madonna , was for " anyone that takes me too seriously , or imagined and I take myself too seriously . " Inspired by Dame Edna Everage , the dress consisted of a hat strewn with fake fruits , flowers and feathers , jeweled batwing spectacles with heavy , black frames , a ruffled skirt and a bodice covered with objects such as watches and dolls and fishnets . The knickers were inscribed with the word " Kiss " . Continuing her tradition of message clothes , she spelt out the phrase " You Can Dance " on her jacket , using the letter U , a can of soup and the word " dance " at the back .
