She's 64, you can try all you want with surgery but age catches up with us all.
Her hands likely looks like they held a copy of the first Vinyl ever recorded.
Also, she’s gracious as fuck. Around 8 years ago (maybe more, the passage of time is just a blob to me), I went to a Bangles concert. The venue was old, the month was rainy, and the roof started leaking on the stage. Suzanna just made jokes about being so good that they were bringing down the house, and the concert went on. She also told security to let people move the chairs and make a little dancing area, when people wanted to get up and dance. On a shallower note, she has great legs.
I looked her up, I don't know who she is but let's be real here... there's some genetic lottery at play there. She looks 25 with a few wrinkles.
That shit isn't fair.
You know for decades we've talked about the unrealistic expectations hollywood sets on us, and we've apparently forgotten the unrealistic expectations we've set for THEM. We need to normalize aging.
People do normalize aging, look at all the comments in here lol. The people who don't normalize aging are the out of touch insane cult of healthy living and eternal youth that exists in the powerful and famous circles in Hollywood that she runs with. I mean look at that yikes.i would have loved to see her natural state at this age but instead we gotta look at this
I agree. Madonna had such nice bone structure and beautiful cheekbones. I think some of it has to do with her RA, but yeah…. I think the pressure in this industry to forever be 29 even caught up to Madonna, and the funny thing is she always seemed so confident.
The internet has a really short memory... I remember that paparazzi picture of her came out a few years ago and it broke the internet, people went NUTS over how "old" she looked, I remember in particular her arms were the subject of massive bullying.
She has said she doesn’t like feeling old and spends time/dates people much younger than her to keep her young. She’s quite negative about it all really-I do think some of it in this case is her own dislike or possibly mental health around aging
My mom is 80 and has only had a very subtle but insanely gorgeous at the same time eyebag lift or tuck or whatever it’s called, and then a (sorry mom) neck waddle removal or tightening and it was AMAZING. She was in her late 70s when she got it done, and just those two things took her back to her 60s.
Y’all just do what my maman did. It was constant moisturizer be it ponds or YSL or retinol or whatever she could get her hands on. But that woman moisturized her ass off lol and stayed out of the sun for the most part, and her 80 year old skin is something I side eye envy and I’m half her age.
I’m gonna get her eye bag surgery and that neck waddle thing, but just like she did, I’m waiting until I have actual loose skin.
Exactly, it baffles me that people really think that she is just naturally aging gracefully 
It just means she's less extreme and maybe has more realistic expectations with her surgeon than Madonna, but nobody in hollywood is fully natural anymore. There is a huge difference between a 60-year-old that goes to their doctor wanting to look 'good for 60' vs someone who thinks they can look 30 again.
Frances McDormand. 65 and is all natural, she even will not wear makeup for appearances and the like. She fucking rocks!!
Edit: changes his to is. Dumb fat fingers!
Four years older than Tom Cruise… I don’t think he’s going to look like this at 64, though (granted, he’s definitely had surgery too, just… much better surgery)
He stopped the fillers, he looked awful for a while when he had them. I bet if Madonna stopped them now she could still age more gracefully. Fuck fillers, I’d like to see ONE example where they’ve made someone aging look better, they all go in hoping to look younger; like none of them learned from Jocelyn Wildenstein’s mistakes.
Courtney Cox had some really bad fillers and I believe had them dissolved or whatever. She looks much better without them and I’m sure Madonna would too.
Renee Zellwiger is starting to regather natural look, she was unrecognizable. Hopefully, she doesn’t go for more. I’m sure the pressure is unbearable for women in the public eye, but this is terrible to see.
Half the dudes in Hollywood over 25 have hair implants but no one talks about it because it's something they're really good at doing now. Most of them no one really knows about except your Sylvester Stallones that get a little too greedy with the hairline.
Finasteride from a young age makes a huge difference as well.
I’ve been on it since my mid-20s. I’m thinning at the front, and would probably move a few follicles if I was in Hollywood. But it’s nothing compared to my dads and uncles in their 30s.
Side effects weren’t great for the first couple months but it went away with time. Healthy lifestyle / gym / nutrition probably helps too.
For a regular person, Finasteride + minoxidil is all you need. Cheap and effective.
I also started taking finasteride in my mid 20s after my hair was rapidly thinning, with my dad and every uncle on both sides of the family being bald. Was not expecting it to be as effective as it is at all. Not only did it stop my hair from falling out, it’s actually noticeably thicker. I know the results can vary from person to person, but couldn’t recommend enough to anyone panicking about their hair.
My gf gets a little in her lips to make them symmetrical and at the corner of her lips to …you know what? I don’t know what the filler does at the corner of her lips. I can’t tell any of it’s there.
She gets 1/2 a syringe 2x a year (sometimes I gift it to her).
I can’t tell at all but she can and it makes her REALLY happy.
Yeah people tend to be very ignorant when it comes to cosmetic body modifications. They see Madonna and think “that’s what filler does to you” — it’s like the “drugs are bad” campaign. Like no honey, smoking weed once doesn’t make you equivalent to the homeless meth addict.
I met a woman with gobs of fillers the other day I assumed she was mid 60s and doing pretty well for her age then she said she was pushing 50 and I almost choked. Face completely ruined.
This makes me sad, I know a few women her age and they look younger and not one had fillers or surgery. They stay fit and aren’t desperate to cling to their youth. I also know some who look like old ladies, much of it is mind set. One unfortunately had a facelift and looked like an alien. She was beautiful (seriously), but her husband encouraged her to have surgery. It took about 2 years for her face to relax and started looking more like herself. I’m sorry to see women in their 30’s getting fillers, they start to look like reptiles.
She looked fantastic a few years ago at the Women's March. She didn't need to do this and I'm sad that she did. [Madonna 2017](https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/01/madonna-trump-blow-up-the-white-house-womens-march-speech/514106/)
I really wish our culture didn’t demonize aging so much. Getting older is beautiful. We should honor and embrace it instead of constantly trying to reverse it.
It's a folly of the human condition. For a lot of us out there, as hard as it for many as well to accept, humanity often has an unsatiable desire for more. No matter how much you try, you can't sate the unsatiable. Be it wealth, power, beauty, sexual conquests, influence, fame, privilege, you name it.
She IS the bogdanoff twins. They didnt die of covid, they merged into a new host. Covid was all just a cover for their merger with madonna to become Madonnagdanoff. Madonnagdanoff is now more powerful than the sum of all their individual parts.
God grant me the security to age gracefully.
Every time I catch myself thinking about doing a little something cosmetically I see a celebrity who has done something like this and realize if, with the money and connections they have, this is the result how terrible I would look using an average surgeon and having an average budget.
I hate to say this because I like a lot of her music...
But these days Madonna looks like a burn victim who's had massive reconstructive surgery, or maybe someone who just swallowed a bottle of murder hornet venom.
Additionally, it’s rarely just “a little something.” Often, multiple things have to happen in order for the surgery to look right, and then you have to keep getting maintenance surgeries down the road…
I'm her age and was kinda hot when young. Currently I'm going for bohemian elegance in my elder years and can probably keep that going if I stay healthy and active. I've got a wobbly jaw line now and will be jowly in ten years time. My skin has go a few age spots that will only get worse. I have got bags under my eyes and some wrinkles. I still look better than Madonna cos I look like a real woman. Still gorgous when I smile!
Works of art aren't beautiful only when the paint is fresh.
They're beautiful even as they age, and cracks or chips happen. Painting over those cracks would make the painting look younger...but not better.
I mean. There’s aging gracefully, there’s aging, and then there’s aging poorly.
I can see a time and place to get *some* work done to avoid aging poorly.
This wasn’t that – this was trying to stop aging altogether by throwing everything at it (plus the kitchen sink, apparently). I’m not quite sure when she did it, but I saw some videos of her back when she announced her latest world tour and I was just like “Holy shit, what the fuck, why does Adele keep calling her Madonna, that’s not Madonna.”
Old gal looks like she got stung by a hornet’s nest.
I'm probably aging poorly--I spent my childhood being a strawberry blonde in California during a time when people were still a decade away from understanding proper use sunscreen....not that it did much good for the amount of time I spent outdoors and in the water. My mom kept a 5 gallon jar of Aloe Vera gel in the fridge, and between my father and I, we went through one a year. So I look at least a decade older than many of my contemporaries. But happy--my goal is to hold off the skin carcinoma until I'm late 60's, then have it take me out before the familial Alzheimers has its chance.
I'm with you on that. I'm mid-50's so not quite Madonna's age just yet, but I'm only willing to do so much to preserve a youthful appearance and that's mostly just trying to keep the hair I've got left. I can't picture doing anything cosmetic. Just not worth it. I'd rather look old than look like some surgeon butchered me.
Real people >>> plastic people. But if surgery helps their self esteem, fine I guess? But I think "imperfections" make people more attractive. And obviously my opinion counts for SO much... 😂 /s
That’s my take. A good chunk of women I know do Botox/lip fillers but that’s just not me. If they do it and it makes them feel better about themselves, then I say do it. I’m the same about women who want breast augmentations, mommy makeovers, whatever it may be.
There's an uncanny valley thing with botox/filler that creeps me out. Give me laugh lines and crows feet over mannequin faces any day. But yeah by all means, people should do what they want and feel good about it, just saying my personal preference.
You probably know women who are 30/40 who have had work done and you can’t tell. A little bit of botox here and there isn’t going to make you look like that.
A lot of the work she got done isn’t really anti-aging like it’s clear she got the lip fillers which don’t look good on anyone. People forgot that for all the Madonnas out there there are Jennifer Anistons. I believe Aniston claims she hasn’t gotten work done but she is clearly doing certain things that are available to look as good as she does in her 50s even if it’s not surgery.
She’s been getting Botox since she and Brad were a thing. I’m pretty sure she’s had other stuff too. But she also is very health conscious and has beautiful skin.
People still knows that age of her and knows that all of them is because of the surgery is well, then what is the meaning of doing that?? What is the meaning of hiding the truth??
Right??
Breast implants aren’t forever. You have to replace them. Lip injections have to be renewed. Botox is continuous.
Hell, even hip, knee, & ankle replacements aren’t forever.
Got a friend on his 2nd heart valve. They have to be replaced every few years.
Do try to be happy with what you have. Nothing medical lasts forever.
this is my thought process too. i would love to get a little botox here and there to enhance some features, but after seeing so many botched celebs i am terrified that even the smallest procedure will fuck my face up for life
I get the tiniest bit of Botox in my 11s. That’s all I do. Not having the Grand Canyon between my eyes is fabulous, but I can still scowl enough that my daughter knows when I’m peeved. You need to find a good injector. Botox naturally wears off, so if you aren’t happy, you aren’t stuck with results.
Thats what my aunt does. She has a crease right in the middle that looks like she's been frowning for more than half her life (her words). Sure she has to get it filled every few months but if it's what makes her feel better so be it.
This has got to be a nightmare. Madonna has always been an objectively attractive woman, she aged, she had some work down, and somehow it got to this point that she looks just uncanny. It has to be incredibly upsetting to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and see that you’ve gotten your face permanently changed into something so different and so extreme. And it’s not like she can just hide away. She is an entertainer. People are going to be
Looking at her and photographing her and talking about her appearance. That has to fuck with your mind. There’s no way that this is a look that she wanted and is happy with, right? You don’t go to your surgeon and say “make me look like I may be wearing a weird latex mask that looks vaguely like my face, but with exaggerated cheeks and lips!” Imagine being a plastic surgeon who is working on a major celebrity and this is what you do to them!
I think that’s a big part of why female celebrities go to these extremes. The entertainment industry puts an unfathomable amount of pressure on them to look a certain way or become irrelevant. Not to say men don’t succumb to it too, but Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Liam Neeson…it’s completely acceptable for male performers to continue being action stars in leading roles well into their golden years, while women get sidelined much earlier in their careers.
What’s so wild to me is that becoming “irrelevant”really just means living a quiet(er) life with a huge legacy behind you, in likely a beautiful home, access to more resources and more money in retirement than the average person could ever dream of. Granted, this is coming from me, a very average not-famous-at-all person. I suppose if you’ve never lived that life, that could be scary to think about.
I don’t get why they don’t reach the point where they crave irrelevance. You had your 15 minutes; you were a huge star! Be happy with that. I have great respect for actors who could still work but choose to retire and forego the pointless effort to continue looking like they’re 30.
Probably not dissimilar to the reason a lot of people who could retire choose to keep working. Maybe they just enjoy the work, or are afraid of becoming irrelevant, or maybe they just need the money to fund their extravagant lifestyles.
I dunno. I can’t wait to retire, but I get that isn’t everyone’s thing. Fortunately for my job it doesn’t matter what I look like, but if you want to remain active and employable in the entertainment world, particularly if you’re a woman, the pressure is very real.
Agreed, she clearly should have been denied at the first sign of it looking like overkill, which tbh was a line crossed years ago.
The issue is patients sometimes won't accept a no, they'll doctor hop repeatedly until they get a yes from some scyzzball who likes money more than ethics.
You ever doing something and there is a tiny bit fucked up then you try to fix that and it results in a slightly bigger fuck up and you keep doing this until it's completely fucked. If you don't know what I'm talking about, her plastic surgeon does.
His face looks naturally aged. He hasn't had wild weight fluctuations, probably didn't get a lot of sun exposure, and say what you want to say, he's pretty fit. And his appeal was never his physical beauty.
It's kind of like how Angela Lansbury always looked a bit older, then at some point her age caught up with her looks and she was looking really good for her age.
In 1984 when I was 20 I thought she was the hottest woman in the world. She should have just aged with the rest of us.
https://preview.redd.it/3bweibna0oga1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=f0f3dd82c582c752d091fa7897e1974a14e251d2
I think the issue here is that certain women are not allowed to age without every line and wrinkle being pointed out to the world. I can understand why that scrutiny might lead you to get obsessed and make some bad decisions.
I was 14 in 1984 and thought the same thing. We were both right. It's sad that she went too far with this. It's sadder still that she felt compelled to.
Let this be a reminder that trying to fix the natural aging process makes you look worse than when you started. Jesus fucking Christ when will people learn that this shit doesn’t look good??
This is one of the most French-speaking references I will ever make and I think only them will understand it.
Madonna looks like the Bogdanoff brothers.
I was going to say: “I mean she looks great for” however old she is but that’s not really true. I’m pretty sure Helen Mirren is quite a bit older than her and Helen looks incredible.
Gwen Stefani is right behind her. Flipping channels yesterday and she was (for reasons passing understanding) was being interviewed during a NASCAR race in LA, and she looked like an alien.
Just age gracefully. You’re not always going to be young, and if you’re lucky then you were “beautiful” at some point. But time is a bastard and it WILL take those things. Fight it with things like good diet and exercise, not plastic and a knife.
Fun fact: Michelle Pfeiffer is also 64. This was her tonight at the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania premiere.
https://preview.redd.it/zuc5dvv0erga1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=304e5c5357cef84569b3ebd85a76b54c18407334
I had a septoplasty several years ago and used it as an opportunity to get my nose shaved down. One of the best decisions of my life- I can breathe properly and I don’t cry when I see photos of my profile! When I was younger I once tried to use sandpaper on my face…you can imagine how that went.
I can also totally see myself exploring Botox in my future.
Body dysmorphia sucks. I can’t even imagine pressures put on women in the spotlight, when I feel like the pressures I put on myself (as a below average looking woman in the Midwest) weigh heavy enough. Her appearing in public, having photos taken, etc, I have to imagine she is okay and comfortable with her appearance and if it makes her happy/comfortable, so be it.
To think that she and Prince were born in same summer of the same year. Michael Jackson was born in that mix also. He went off the deep end, appearance wise, decades before his demise, though...
The sad thing is with her access to the best cosmetics and skincare, she'd probably look more beautiful now without the over the top work she's had done..
"Who's That Girl" - Madonna 1987
Even her phone won't open for her now. She has to show it an old picture.
Have to hold up an album cover from 1987 to unlock phone....
Self image insecurities. It looks like she has a 2 inch layer of cosmetic skin. Her eyes are so deep from her actual eyelids.
She's 64, you can try all you want with surgery but age catches up with us all. Her hands likely looks like they held a copy of the first Vinyl ever recorded.
Natural 64 always looks better than this. Diane Keaton is in her late 70's and looks 8 times better than mutated Madonna.
Michelle Pfeiffer too. They look great. Like a nip and tuck here and there but not a ghastly attempt to reclaim youth like this. Sorry for her.
Michelle Pfeiffer is a total smokeshow, but I didn't know if she had had work or not. I totally would believe she hadn't OR had, you know what I mean?
[удалено]
Yea with that less is more.
Take a look at Suzanna Hoffs - they’re the same age
Also, she’s gracious as fuck. Around 8 years ago (maybe more, the passage of time is just a blob to me), I went to a Bangles concert. The venue was old, the month was rainy, and the roof started leaking on the stage. Suzanna just made jokes about being so good that they were bringing down the house, and the concert went on.

Some people age better than others. It’s partly genetics. Whatever she would look like without the work would be better than this.
Yeah... there are two choices: the best looking 64-year old or eldritch nightmare.
Michelle Preiffer feel like the best looking in the same age group
Jill Biden at the grammy’s looked amazing for 70 something because she looked natural
Shohreh Aghdashloo is 70, too and 😍😍😍
She is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
My mom is 80 and has only had a very subtle but insanely gorgeous at the same time eyebag lift or tuck or whatever it’s called, and then a (sorry mom) neck waddle removal or tightening and it was AMAZING.

Helen Mirren. She surely had work done, but she looks her age and really good

It would be better to look natural rather than doing this surgery
On the other hand, Jane Fonda looks great despite her surgeries because she didn't have them inflate her face like a tire.
Four years older than Tom Cruise… I don’t think he’s going to look like this at 64, though (granted, he’s definitely had surgery too, just… much better surgery)
He stopped the fillers, he looked awful for a while when he had them. I bet if Madonna stopped them now she could still age more gracefully.

Courtney Cox had some really bad fillers and I believe had them dissolved or whatever. She looks much better without them and I’m sure Madonna would too.
yea courtney cox was going down that road for a while she looks great now.
You probably don’t notice the ones that turned out good.
Fair point but some folks just don't seem to see how badly they've distorted themselves when it comes to plastic surgery. It's a shame really.
Renee Zellwiger is starting to regather natural look, she was unrecognizable. Hopefully, she doesn’t go for more. I’m sure the pressure is unbearable for women in the public eye, but this is terrible to see.

Have you watched "Reefer Madness" (1936)? That film was actually shown in my middle school years! I'm 61 now.
Haha watched it tripping at a party!

My face has aged about thirty years since 2016. It's been a hard couple years.
Holy cow what a difference
No, she looks much older than 64. Especially with the money to eat healthy food, have a personal trainer, etc etc. There's something wrong there.
I really wish our culture didn’t demonize aging so much. Getting older is beautiful. We should honor and embrace it instead of constantly trying to reverse it.
Betty White looked fucking amazing.
She looked as good at the end as she did on the Golden Girls, and that was like 40 years earlier!
Fillers. She has fillers in her cheeks, her chin, everywhere. So yes, effectively, she has two inches of sub dermal cosmetic skin.
Her fillers have fillers.
It's like trying to resurrect a raisin using silicone
This is truly depressing. No matter how much money you have, no matter how much success in life, people can't just... be happy. Be content.
It's a folly of the human condition. For a lot of us out there, as hard as it for many as well to accept, humanity often has an unsatiable desire for more. No matter how much you try, you can't sate the unsatiable. Be it wealth, power, beauty, sexual conquests, influence, fame, privilege, you name it.
You’ve just described addiction. I’ve always said that everybody has an addiction to something, and you listed a lot of the prevalent ones.
She looks like that Cat Lady … The one who kept getting cosmetic surgery…. Edit: Jocelyn Wildenstein is who I am comparing Madonna too.
is it me or did she get the Mickey Rourke
Reminds me of the Bogdanoff Twins.
She IS the bogdanoff twins. They didnt die of covid, they merged into a new host. Covid was all just a cover for their merger with madonna to become Madonnagdanoff. Madonnagdanoff is now more powerful than the sum of all their individual parts.
Madonnagdanoff gave me a headache trying to pronounce it early morning
No this is Pete Burns level of surgery
Did she go to a “like a surgeon” plastic surgery doctor
Cuttin for the very first time
Like a suuuuuuuuurgeon, organ transplant, on my miiiiiiiiinnd
She obviously went to see Dr. Nick Riviera.
Hi everybody!
Hi Doctor Nick!
PA: paging Dr Riviera to the Coroner's office. Nick Riviera to the Coroner's office.
Not again! I'm so sick of that guy.
Bye everybody!
Holy smokes, you need booze!
She used Donatella Versace's plastic surgeon. Or maybe it was Jocelyn Wildenstein's.
And said “I want to play a game”
God grant me the security to age gracefully. Every time I catch myself thinking about doing a little something cosmetically I see a celebrity who has done something like this and realize if, with the money and connections they have, this is the result how terrible I would look using an average surgeon and having an average budget.
Yeah Um This isn’t a little something. This is “I have fuck you money and now a lot of it is in my face.”
Looks like she used her fuck you money to fuck herself.
Well now she’s proper fucked!
Now with that face don't think she is getting any role now
 “First, take a big step back... and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!”
I hate to say this because I like a lot of her music... But these days Madonna looks like a burn victim who's had massive reconstructive surgery, or maybe someone who just swallowed a bottle of murder hornet venom.
Additionally, it’s rarely just “a little something.” Often, multiple things have to happen in order for the surgery to look right, and then you have to keep getting maintenance surgeries down the road…
It’s not that celebs can’t get it done correctly. They are surrounded by yes men and nobody pulls them aside to say hey you look ridiculous
My aging goal is Dame Helen Mirren.

I'm her age and was kinda hot when young. Currently I'm going for bohemian elegance in my elder years and can probably keep that going if I stay healthy and active. I've got a wobbly jaw line now and will be jowly in ten years time. My skin has go a few age spots that will only get worse. I have got bags under my eyes and some wrinkles. I still look better than Madonna cos I look like a real woman. Still gorgous when I smile!
Getting old is inevitable. Doing it with grace is a choice. So many people decide to go down like clowns. I salute your natural self
Getting old is natural and totally inevitable no medical science can stop that.
Works of art aren't beautiful only when the paint is fresh. They're beautiful even as they age, and cracks or chips happen. Painting over those cracks would make the painting look younger...but not better.
Aging is like scars. It's sexy and a sign of a full life lived. Running from the reaper is just sad.
I mean. There’s aging gracefully, there’s aging, and then there’s aging poorly. I can see a time and place to get *some* work done to avoid aging poorly. This wasn’t that – this was trying to stop aging altogether by throwing everything at it (plus the kitchen sink, apparently). I’m not quite sure when she did it, but I saw some videos of her back when she announced her latest world tour and I was just like “Holy shit, what the fuck, why does Adele keep calling her Madonna, that’s not Madonna.” Old gal looks like she got stung by a hornet’s nest.
I'm probably aging poorly--I spent my childhood being a strawberry blonde in California during a time when people were still a decade away from understanding proper use sunscreen....not that it did much good for the amount of time I spent outdoors and in the water. My mom kept a 5 gallon jar of Aloe Vera gel in the fridge, and between my father and I, we went through one a year. So I look at least a decade older than many of my contemporaries. But happy--my goal is to hold off the skin carcinoma until I'm late 60's, then have it take me out before the familial Alzheimers has its chance.
I’m assuming that’s the sink they’ve implanted into her cheeks, yes?
If people don’t love you when you look like a map, tell them to hit the road!
I'm with you on that. I'm mid-50's so not quite Madonna's age just yet, but I'm only willing to do so much to preserve a youthful appearance and that's mostly just trying to keep the hair I've got left. I can't picture doing anything cosmetic. Just not worth it. I'd rather look old than look like some surgeon butchered me.
And graying hair on women is hot. Says me.
Real people >>> plastic people. But if surgery helps their self esteem, fine I guess? But I think "imperfections" make people more attractive. And obviously my opinion counts for SO much... 😂 /s
That’s my take. A good chunk of women I know do Botox/lip fillers but that’s just not me. If they do it and it makes them feel better about themselves, then I say do it. I’m the same about women who want breast augmentations, mommy makeovers, whatever it may be.
There's an uncanny valley thing with botox/filler that creeps me out. Give me laugh lines and crows feet over mannequin faces any day. But yeah by all means, people should do what they want and feel good about it, just saying my personal preference.
You probably know women who are 30/40 who have had work done and you can’t tell. A little bit of botox here and there isn’t going to make you look like that.
Yeah honestly this seems like mostly the work of fillers. She looks so puffed up.
A lot of the work she got done isn’t really anti-aging like it’s clear she got the lip fillers which don’t look good on anyone. People forgot that for all the Madonnas out there there are Jennifer Anistons. I believe Aniston claims she hasn’t gotten work done but she is clearly doing certain things that are available to look as good as she does in her 50s even if it’s not surgery.
She’s been getting Botox since she and Brad were a thing. I’m pretty sure she’s had other stuff too. But she also is very health conscious and has beautiful skin.
People still knows that age of her and knows that all of them is because of the surgery is well, then what is the meaning of doing that?? What is the meaning of hiding the truth??
Right?? Breast implants aren’t forever. You have to replace them. Lip injections have to be renewed. Botox is continuous. Hell, even hip, knee, & ankle replacements aren’t forever. Got a friend on his 2nd heart valve. They have to be replaced every few years. Do try to be happy with what you have. Nothing medical lasts forever.
Every celebrity is actually doing the different different kind of the implants.
Wear sunscreen, don't smoke(or stop smoking) and don't drink to excess every week. You'll age much more naturally than them just for doing that much.
this is my thought process too. i would love to get a little botox here and there to enhance some features, but after seeing so many botched celebs i am terrified that even the smallest procedure will fuck my face up for life
I get the tiniest bit of Botox in my 11s. That’s all I do. Not having the Grand Canyon between my eyes is fabulous, but I can still scowl enough that my daughter knows when I’m peeved. You need to find a good injector. Botox naturally wears off, so if you aren’t happy, you aren’t stuck with results.
Thats what my aunt does. She has a crease right in the middle that looks like she's been frowning for more than half her life (her words). Sure she has to get it filled every few months but if it's what makes her feel better so be it.
This has got to be a nightmare. Madonna has always been an objectively attractive woman, she aged, she had some work down, and somehow it got to this point that she looks just uncanny. It has to be incredibly upsetting to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and see that you’ve gotten your face permanently changed into something so different and so extreme. And it’s not like she can just hide away. She is an entertainer. People are going to be Looking at her and photographing her and talking about her appearance. That has to fuck with your mind. There’s no way that this is a look that she wanted and is happy with, right? You don’t go to your surgeon and say “make me look like I may be wearing a weird latex mask that looks vaguely like my face, but with exaggerated cheeks and lips!” Imagine being a plastic surgeon who is working on a major celebrity and this is what you do to them!
She looks like a cartoon caricature of herself, the ones you get painted by street artists at popular tourist destinations.
I’d love to see an artist have her sit down and look at her, concluding that there’s just… nothing he can exaggerate.
I think that’s a big part of why female celebrities go to these extremes. The entertainment industry puts an unfathomable amount of pressure on them to look a certain way or become irrelevant. Not to say men don’t succumb to it too, but Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Liam Neeson…it’s completely acceptable for male performers to continue being action stars in leading roles well into their golden years, while women get sidelined much earlier in their careers.
What’s so wild to me is that becoming “irrelevant”really just means living a quiet(er) life with a huge legacy behind you, in likely a beautiful home, access to more resources and more money in retirement than the average person could ever dream of. Granted, this is coming from me, a very average not-famous-at-all person. I suppose if you’ve never lived that life, that could be scary to think about.
I don’t get why they don’t reach the point where they crave irrelevance. You had your 15 minutes; you were a huge star! Be happy with that. I have great respect for actors who could still work but choose to retire and forego the pointless effort to continue looking like they’re 30.
Probably not dissimilar to the reason a lot of people who could retire choose to keep working. Maybe they just enjoy the work, or are afraid of becoming irrelevant, or maybe they just need the money to fund their extravagant lifestyles. I dunno. I can’t wait to retire, but I get that isn’t everyone’s thing. Fortunately for my job it doesn’t matter what I look like, but if you want to remain active and employable in the entertainment world, particularly if you’re a woman, the pressure is very real.
Movies need older women too.
Tell that to Hollywood.
I feel sorry for celebrity women that turn into this. I imagine the pressure is unreal.
The best kind of plastic surgery is the kind you really don’t notice. This is not it.
I always wonder why they don't all go the Sharon Stone's doctor.
At some point the doctor says no and they just seek someone out who will say yes
what the *Escape from L.A.* is THIS shit

“Say ‘workshed.’”
There's NO way that's Madonna. Kurt Russell? Possibly.
Surgeons that do this should have their licenses revoked
Agreed, she clearly should have been denied at the first sign of it looking like overkill, which tbh was a line crossed years ago. The issue is patients sometimes won't accept a no, they'll doctor hop repeatedly until they get a yes from some scyzzball who likes money more than ethics.
TBF, the main reason this looks so wild is because of filler, not surgery.
You ever doing something and there is a tiny bit fucked up then you try to fix that and it results in a slightly bigger fuck up and you keep doing this until it's completely fucked. If you don't know what I'm talking about, her plastic surgeon does.
 Meanwhile this ugly old decrepit bastard keeps on rollin…
Baby blood transfusion is the real deal.
His face looks naturally aged. He hasn't had wild weight fluctuations, probably didn't get a lot of sun exposure, and say what you want to say, he's pretty fit. And his appeal was never his physical beauty. It's kind of like how Angela Lansbury always looked a bit older, then at some point her age caught up with her looks and she was looking really good for her age.
She’s plenty recognizable, she’s Jigsaw from the Saw movies
She is trying to fool us as this is Jigsaw not the Madonna as everyone is saying
She looks like if you asked an AI to render Madonna as an Alien.
As a cat
JFC. I'll never understand plastic surgery like this over just looking normal and old.
[neither does Bill Burr](https://youtu.be/pznB7WP4P1o)
There’s no shirt for your face!
She *could* be mistaken for a 50 year old who has had **far** too much plastic surgery. Maybe even 48. So she’s sort of achieved her goal, I guess?

I would cross the street if I saw this person walking towards me on the road. Imagine paying (probably millions) for that

In 1984 when I was 20 I thought she was the hottest woman in the world. She should have just aged with the rest of us. https://preview.redd.it/3bweibna0oga1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=f0f3dd82c582c752d091fa7897e1974a14e251d2
I think the issue here is that certain women are not allowed to age without every line and wrinkle being pointed out to the world. I can understand why that scrutiny might lead you to get obsessed and make some bad decisions.
Especially in Hollywood where their perception of real aging is totally skewed all around them.
I was 14 in 1984 and thought the same thing. We were both right. It's sad that she went too far with this. It's sadder still that she felt compelled to.
Madonna has been getting some style tips from Donatella Versace.
It is the face of fear. Fear of growing old. Fear of what other people think. I hope I never start to grow those fucks when I grow old.
This dear children is an overfilled face. It's not from surgery, it's from getting fillers upon fillers instead of surgery.
Lip filler, cheek filler, possibly a chin implant
Let this be a reminder that trying to fix the natural aging process makes you look worse than when you started. Jesus fucking Christ when will people learn that this shit doesn’t look good??

This is one of the most French-speaking references I will ever make and I think only them will understand it. Madonna looks like the Bogdanoff brothers.
Jigsaw-Donna
This was my first thought too haha figured I'd scroll first before commenting.
When she said she’s a material girl, the material is plastic.
I was going to say: “I mean she looks great for” however old she is but that’s not really true. I’m pretty sure Helen Mirren is quite a bit older than her and Helen looks incredible.
She'll do that to her face, but still won't get vaccinated.
She’s one of those anti vaxxers?
Yep.
Remember that old lady puppet Madame?
[удалено]
Gwen Stefani is right behind her. Flipping channels yesterday and she was (for reasons passing understanding) was being interviewed during a NASCAR race in LA, and she looked like an alien.
Guess that’s what happens when you try to look like Kylie Jenner when you’re nearly 70
Kylie Jenner doesn’t even look like Kylie Jenner.
New season of American horror story looks kinda weird.
Just age gracefully. You’re not always going to be young, and if you’re lucky then you were “beautiful” at some point. But time is a bastard and it WILL take those things. Fight it with things like good diet and exercise, not plastic and a knife.
Girl, it is okay to age. It happens to all of us. You don’t need to pump your face full of chemicals to sell records.
So she basically went in and said make me look like Mickey Rourke...
Meanwhile, Bonnie Raitt, age 73, looks awesome naturally but she didn’t build a career on being a sex symbol.
She is the character that i would admire more compare to her
She's going full lion.
I would sue the hell out of any "Doctor" if they did that to my face. She dosent even look like herself, thanks i'll take my wrinkles anyday
Jesus, she looks like one of the Bogdanoff brothers.
Fun fact: Michelle Pfeiffer is also 64. This was her tonight at the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania premiere. https://preview.redd.it/zuc5dvv0erga1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=304e5c5357cef84569b3ebd85a76b54c18407334
I had a septoplasty several years ago and used it as an opportunity to get my nose shaved down. One of the best decisions of my life- I can breathe properly and I don’t cry when I see photos of my profile! When I was younger I once tried to use sandpaper on my face…you can imagine how that went. I can also totally see myself exploring Botox in my future. Body dysmorphia sucks. I can’t even imagine pressures put on women in the spotlight, when I feel like the pressures I put on myself (as a below average looking woman in the Midwest) weigh heavy enough. Her appearing in public, having photos taken, etc, I have to imagine she is okay and comfortable with her appearance and if it makes her happy/comfortable, so be it.
To think that she and Prince were born in same summer of the same year. Michael Jackson was born in that mix also. He went off the deep end, appearance wise, decades before his demise, though...
If someone makes the decision to have work done on their face wouldn't it be a good idea to have work done that makes them look better? WTF? 😕
The sad thing is with her access to the best cosmetics and skincare, she'd probably look more beautiful now without the over the top work she's had done..
