Madonna's clothing line for H&M goes on sale TODAY at stores worldwide

The highly-anticipated line of clothing co-designed by Madonna for Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz (part deux) made its launch in select stores worldwide today.

While we're very excited to see how the pop diva has reinvented herself this time, we don't expect the "M by Madonna" collection to be anywhere nearly as popular as the Stella McCartney collection that launched back in the fall of 2005—but it's just a hunch. Budget fashionistas were lining up before the break of dawn to hit the H&M flagship store on Chicago's mag mile for Stella, with much of the good stuff selling out in a matter of a few hours.

So we'll get back to you...we've taken the day off work and will be heading there this afternoon. Wish us luck!

What we've seen so far in zines and online looks fabulous. We'd expect nothing less from the material girl herself, who co-designed the collection with H&M design chief Margareta van den Bosch. Pieces include a white trench coat, sequined shift dresses, cream-colored pedal-pushers and matching cropped jackets.

Prices range from $15.75 to $295.
