Experts believe that over the years of her popularity, the artist has undergone dozens of surgical interventions.
Madonna is one of those artists who is in a constant race for youth. The singer is a frequent visitor to plastic surgeons and cosmetologists. And who could blame her for that? It is also hard to imagine the artist appearing in public without makeup, yet that is exactly what happened.
Recently, Madonna celebrated the Jewish holiday Hanukkah with her 29-year-old boyfriend Ahlam Morris and her younger daughters Stella and Esther. In her personal blog, the singer shared a photo of the festive table where her loved ones were seated. The star also published a photo of herself. In the picture, Madonna poses in a silk tank top, but what deserves special attention is that the artist is wearing almost no makeup.
For users, such openness was a pleasant shock: "Wow, she looks just amazing for her age," "I can't even remember the last time I saw Madonna without a ton of makeup," "This is very bold. I hope she continues in the same spirit and appears like this on the red carpet," "Let the rejection of excessive makeup become a trend, then the world will be simpler. I'm happy for Madonna."
However, there are also those who critically assessed the singer's photos: "She is wearing makeup. It's just less than usual. Let's see how she looks without plastic surgeries, Botox, and fillers," "Why do people distort their faces like this? She doesn't look like herself at all and looks like all the other women who have had too many plastic surgeries. Like mannequins off a conveyor belt," "Maybe she is without makeup, but with very strong filters."
Regardless, for Madonna, this is undoubtedly a big step. In one interview, she said: "Don't age, because aging is a sin. You will be criticized, turned into a monster, and of course, they will stop playing your music on the radio."
The artist has always strived to look young. She first went under the knife of a plastic surgeon in the mid-1990s, when she was just over thirty. At that time, the first facelift was presumably done. By the 2000s, procedures for restoring facial volume — lipofilling or filler injections — as well as possible blepharoplasty were added to the lifting. The peak of public attention and criticism came in the 2010s. The public was convinced that Madonna had become overly fond of fillers and Botox.
Experts believe that over the years of her popularity, the artist has undergone dozens of surgical interventions — several facelifts, blepharoplasty, removal of Bichat's fat pads, brow lifts, contouring of the cheekbones and chin, several nose surgeries, and lip augmentation. The singer's body has also undergone changes.
However, the artist insists that others misinterpret her actions. In this struggle, every plastic surgery, every revealing photo, or provocative outfit is not so much an attempt to appear young, but a deliberate violation of rules. The singer is accused of not being able to accept her age. For example, critics accused the star of showing her buttocks on the red carpet at the age of 56 (what a nightmare!!).
"I am in good shape. I can show my butt at 56, 66, or 76 years old. Who decides when I can show it? This is sexism. This is ageism. This is discrimination," Madonna sharply responded.
Additionally, the celebrity is often criticized for having each new boyfriend significantly younger than her. However, the artist's friends explain this not as a pathological fear of aging, but as a natural desire for energy and novelty. Madonna has challenged strict norms since her youth, promoting sexual freedom, and now she is going against the very concept of 'age appropriateness.' At the same time, psychologists and the public often reduce her behavior to narcissism or the desperation of a fading star who strives to remain in the spotlight at any cost.
