Madonna was pictured exiting a dinner catch-up with her son Rocco Ritchie this weekend sans her beloved filters.
In images taken by paparazzi on her stroll in London, the “Material Girl” who typically seems perfect and younger than her age on social media, appeared virtually unrecognizable.
Madonna, 63, was spotted wearing an enormous pair of sunglasses, a black turtleneck, and high-waisted shorts as she left Harrys Bar in London’s upscale Mayfair area late Saturday.
When pictures of Madonna started circulating on social media, many people were taken aback by how different she appeared. And the way the renowned musician is being characterized on Twitter is really nasty.
Madonna cut a striking figure in head-to-toe black, flashing a little grin to the camera and revealing her very smooth face under her large sunglasses.
She completed her ensemble with black translucent tights, boots, a Commes des Garcons “loveable rebel” graffiti purse, and large sunglasses.
In a gray suit, black tie, and brown dress shoes, Madonna’s 21-year-old son, whom she shares with Guy Ritchie, looked similarly sharp.
As the two made their way outside, adoring Rocco was spotted assisting his mother.
For the occasion, the sharp dresser, who is the son of Madonna and film director Guy Ritchie, wore a modest grey suit with brown brogues, a white shirt, and tie.
Madonna has been uploading a lot of risqué images on social media recently, and many of her fans have chastised her for what they believe are poorly manipulated photos.
Even rapper 50 Cent chimed in, ridiculing her for a previous lingerie shoot.
The “In da Club” rapper, 46, remarked on his Instagram Story, “yo this is the funniest s—t LOL.” “That’s Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don’t get her old ass up.”
The “Like A Virgin” singer retorted promptly, accusing him of “pretending” to be her “friend.”
“Now you have decided to talk smack about me. I guess your new career is getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media. The least elevated choice you could make as an artist and an adult,” she wrote.
Followers have said that the sexagenarian appears like a ‘teenager’ in her images, and the brazen celebrity has also astonished her fans with her permanently young appearance in her photos.
While some of the Queen of Pop’s admirers said she looked ‘flawless’ and ‘stunning,’ others said they missed seeing her ‘real face.’
Many social media users focused on Madonna’s veiny “corpse-like” hand after learning of the unedited photos. “The hands never lie & can’t have surgery on them either,” one Twitter user said, while another added, “Those corpse looking veiny hands look horrible ain’t it?”
“Lol yep my mother taught me to always look at a woman’s hands or knees to see if she’s as young as her face looks!” a different critic tweeted. Another person remarked, “I’m surprised she didn’t get her hands fixed. You can get fillers in your hands now.”
Madonna is the best-selling female music artist of all time, according to Guinness World Records, with over 300 million albums sold worldwide. She has the most number-one singles by a female artist in Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and is the most successful solo artist in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.
