Costume Contest: Madonna vs. Kylie

(Getty Images) The reigning queen and princess of pop are blowing the windows out of concert venues around the world with the "Sticky & Sweet" and "KylieX" tours. There are many obvious artistic differences between them that we could debate about from now until Lourdes's 18th birthday. But, we couldn't help but notice that both tours resemble some striking similarities when looking at the latest images. Its time for a showcase showdown!

THE GRAND ENTRANCE

(Getty Images) Madonna rises from a diamond encrusted throne while Kylie prefers to descend side-saddle on a giant crystal skull. Both introductions are enough to send wigs flying into the rafters without hesitation.

BACK IN BLACK

(Getty Images) Knee-high black boots are in place for both to ensure only the most savage kicks. Madonna flexes her lumberjack arm in a snappy and aggressive black one piece as Kylie chooses to cover up a bit more in a flowing spider-like dress. Naughty never looked as nice ...

WHO'S THAT GIRL?

(Getty Images) Madonna flashes a cute reminder of who she is to a gleeful audience within the lining of a sweater. Kylie prefers less subtlety by slapping her signature half-star "K" on the big screen. Its all about the branding, baby.

HAT ATTACK

(Getty Images) As Madonna continues to snatch off pieces of clothing, an elegant white top hat stays on, and Kylie has fires to put out in a red hot helmet. Can we just say one thing? You can never have enough hats, gloves and shoes.

THE BIG PICTURE

(Getty Images) The best thing about the modern concert experience is the advancement of LED jumbo screen technology. The past couple of Madonna and Kylie tours were very impressive productions that incorporated stage settings and choreography with the mammoth screens. "Sticky & Sweet" and "KylieX" continue raising the bar using this awesome technology. Here's a comparison of the queen and princess on stage at any given moment during both shows!
