Julia Garner is quite literally stepping into Madonna’s shoes during her stay in Venice.
The blonde duo donned twin looks and lip-synced to the singer’s 1984 hit “Like a Virgin” while riding a gondola along the city’s canals.
Both wore jeans, black-and-white gondola polo shirts, tailored black blazers, and oversized straw hats (Garner had a red ribbon, Madge had a blue ribbon).
Using hats as props, they casually swayed and sang along to the iconic track while leaning on each other.
“Like a virgin…again and again. 🇮🇹,” the caption of an Instagram post shared jointly read.
The clip paid homage to the song’s original music video, which was filmed in Venice over 40 years ago.
In an interview for I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution, director Mary Lambert said Madonna “singing in a gondola was the most outrageous thing I could think of.”
Madonna and Garner were spotted last week filming Season 2 of The Studio, which will be Madonna’s first scripted TV role in 23 years since appearing on Will & Grace in 2003.
Garner was previously cast as Madonna in the biopic, which the 67-year-old herself co-wrote, after a grueling song-and-dance battle with other actresses at boot camp.
The project was canceled in 2023, but Netflix picked it up as a future series with Garner still on board.
