Lourdes Leon's Style Is Giving Young Madonna (British Vogue)

Madonna's fashion traits have clearly rubbed off on her daughter, Lourdes Leon, who has made cross pendants a mainstay in her wardrobe.

Cynical observers speculated that the moment was a stunt to create buzz around the possible brand partnership – a very Madonna move if it’s true. Around Lourdes’s neck: a gothic cross necklace that nodded to her mum’s “Like A Virgin” era. Taking up the mantle from her famous mum, Leon has recently adopted some of Madonna’s retro style signatures, interpreting them in her own way for a Gen-Z spin on the look.

Viewers of the Grammy Awards this week had a lot to say about Madonna's face – begging the question: why are people still commenting on women's looks?

And some of it confounds me because of the double standard that is so plainly illustrated," she told Allure, referencing how a photo of her with grey hair went viral, yet there was no fanfare over the grey hair of TV presenter Andy Cohen who was also in the shot. "Instead, we need to remove body shame from all conversations and understand other people’s decisions about their body is none of our business." Isn't it time we shove those comments into a no-go zone, along with pointing out that somebody has 'lost weight and looks well for it' – even if it is meant to be complimentary? "When we body shame someone else, it’s often a reflection of our own insecurity. Are we all completely guilt-free when it comes to remarking on celebrities, or even people we know, and 'how well they've aged'? "[Society] says the way you look is always the problem," she continued. [society's beauty standards](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/body/a42481252/florence-pugh-hollywood-body-standards/) is the issue. "This legit looks like a Madonna impersonator with pics of the real Madonna in the background. Sadly, Madonna isn't the only woman – famous or not – who's been subjected to such comments. Take Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby, for example, who was the focus of a two-part TV series back in 2021 titled, Celebrities: What's happened to your face?. "People can have autonomy over their bodies!" She can do what she wants with her face," someone else wrote.

Madonna, 64, was recently called "unrecognizable," but advocates say the comments were based on ageism and discrimination that women constantly face.

“They are getting the wrong message about what it means to look beautiful and we have to tell our kids to resist that.” And the singer has been vocal about aging in the spotlight. “It's so easy for us to criticize celebrities to blame individuals instead of to look at the culture,” Simmons told “Good Morning America.” “Women have to spend a whole lot of money and time on their appearance just so that they can be accepted by others.

It is hard to dispute that Madonna is among the most influential music artists of the last several decades.

However, given that the original Matrix is not exactly replete with significant female characters, and the extent of regret which Madonna expressed, she almost certainly was offered the role of Trinity.

Madonna can't win when it comes to her appearance (The Independent)

The pop icon's presence at the Grammys on Sunday night led to insults and criticism across the internet but it's also nothing new for her, writes Ellie Muir ...

You’re in that funny place.” But she’s also been in that “funny place” for the far majority of her career – a 35-year-old in her bra dubbed “grandma”, now a 64-year-old dubbed “a boiled egg”. Of the criticism of her presence on Instagram, Madonna compared it to a “crime”: “You can’t win [as an older woman] – an ass [photograph] will get you more followers but it will also get you more detractors and criticism. That’s why critics like Morgan are continually enraged by Madonna’s expressive presence on social media, or describe her modern work as strained or calculated rather than a natural extension of her interests: she’s recently experimented with musical genres like rap and Cape Verdean batuque, while her latest single “Back That Up to the Beat” was released in a sped-up tempo for maximum TikTok appeal. In the 2000s, she was lambasted for her arms, with American gossip site TMZ describing them as “bloodcurdling veiny corpse arms”. In 1993, a Smash Hits magazine spread printed the words “Calm down Grandma!” over a picture of the musician performing at Wembley Stadium. Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter: “Looks like she had a face transplant”; “Madonna received the ‘New Face’ award at the 2023 Grammy Awards!”; “Not the Madonna I remember.” By Monday morning, numerous news outlets had dubbed Madonna “unrecognisable” and were busy ringing up plastic surgeons to ask their opinions on a woman they’d never actually treated.
