Madonna Copies Rihanna on British ‘Elle’

Madonna's got another magazine cover under her leotard to promote her new album, Hard Candy, this time for British Elle. As we stared at it, those martinis we drank really set in, and that rope she's holding morphed into an umbrella — ella … ella — and it hit us! She's wearing the same outfit Rihanna wore in her "Umbrella" video. Isn't Madge supposed to reinvent herself instead of copying 20-year-olds? But damn she looks slammin'! So since we've never asked and we just can't resist, do tell us in those comments boxes: Who wore it better?
