The deep-brown couture piece was crafted by wig maker Merria Dearman and styled by Eugene Souleiman with textured waves, a top hat, ship headpiece and long veil.
Dearman said Madonna requested the wig after seeing one on set, and built it using traditional techniques with a long, full shape inspired by artist Leonora Carrington.
The look marked a rare return to Madonna's natural brunette image as she prepares to release her upcoming album Confessions II, though the darker style may be temporary.

Did Madonna's surrealist look truly merge fashion with art, or did it just become an elaborate costume?
