The Abbey opened in 1991 and has been one of the most iconic gay bars in West Hollywood. Madonna's relationship with the queer community has always been strong, and she's been an activist and voice since she rose to fame. Before her appearance, she revealed on Instagram that there was a Grindr edition of her upcoming album. 

For her big night, Madonna rocked a pink corset with delicate floral detailing, paired with a lace-trim mini skirt, fishnets, and dramatic thigh-high lace-up boots.

Madonna has long been wearing corsets. Recently, she's been tapping into her fashion eras. In March, at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda atelier, the Queen of Pop leaned into bridal lingerie that instantly called back to her “Like a Virgin” era in 1984-1985.

The 7-time GRAMMY winner has been making headlines all month with her new music. The party came after the release of her single, "I Feel So Free." She also debuted a new song with Sabrina Carpenter during weekend 2 of Coachella called "Bring Your Love."
