Madonna switched from her Material Girl persona for that of the much loved Game Of Thrones character, Daenerys Targaryen, on Saturday night. And it looks like the 55-year-old pop star had a fun time in her costume as she was spotted laughing with friends as she left the party celebrating the Jewish holiday, Purim. The celebration traditionally sees observers masquerading in costumes and the icon chose well with her portrayal of actress Emilia Clarke’s character.

Sporting brass bracelets on her wrists, the star completed her Game Of Thrones persona with twin dragon figurines on her shoulders.
Her dragons managed to last the night as they were still in place when Madonna entered a waiting car to head back home following the celebration.
The holiday - which commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire - may be especially prevalent for Madonna - who's Hebrew name is Esther.
By her outfit choice, it seems that Esther's timely biblical book came to mind. The story tells how a gorgeous Jewish orphan girl (Esther) was chosen to be the queen of the Persian empire.
'When a decree is issued demanding that all Jews be killed, Esther successfully averts the crisis and saves her people. The topsy-turvy, carnivalesque celebration of Purim commemorates the dramatic turn of events recounted throughout the book,' reports Fox News.
The singer seemed to reference this as she posted her outfit on Instagram with the caption: 'Happy Purim!!!!! All Hail All Queens! #certainty’.
Madonna - who similar to Esther, has broken ground in the music arena amid obstacles - has been quite public about her faith in the Jewish religion, mostly her regular practice of Kabbalah - a form of Jewish mysticism.
In keeping with her studies, the star no longer gives concerts on Friday night, as it is the onset of Shabbat, and wears a red string around her left wrist for protection and to ward off the 'Evil Eye.'
The Like A Prayer singer became attracted to the offshoot of Judaism in the 1990s, and it has been claimed it was a way for her to deal with her worldwide fame.
