Since her visit to the Grammy ceremony last Sunday, newspapers from here and elsewhere as well as several fans have wondered about the transformed face of the Madonna.
THE New York Post tweeted a photo of the diva with the caption, “Fans ‘so confused’ by Madonna’s ‘new face’ at Grammys 2023.”
“She is an icon of freedom, why can’t Madonna wear her age and her experience with pride?” asks one of the journalists of the Daily Mail UK.
An article from New York Post released on Tuesday morning is titled “Cheek-obsessed Madonna wants to look like 2000s version of herself.” It talks about the singer’s “anti-aging rebellion that has garnered the most attention.” A source allegedly told the outlet that “her puffy face is the result of an obsession with her cheeks and she doesn’t realize it makes her look a bit like a caricature of herself.”
Page Six looks back at ‘Madonna’s face then and now in 19 photos of her makeover’, writing under an image of the singer from a TikTok post: ‘Getting fans worried with a new look on TikTok in April 2022.”

The cover of Vanity Fair
To coincide with current events, Madonna finds herself on the cover of three different issues of Vanity Fair: Italian, Spanish and French. In the photo, which looks like a work of art, the face of the Madonna is smooth, framed in lace and visibly retouched. We find it in the Virgin Mary weeping before a bleeding heart.
Inside the magazine, the 64-year-old singer appears in a series of expertly edited photos featuring her Last meal and other religious scenes.
In this long question-and-answer interview, he is not asked any questions about aging in the entertainment industry, which could have prompted him to broach the subject of this new face which worries his admirers.
The Queen of Pop instead talks about her destiny as an international star, her rich 40-year career, her conflicted relationship with religion, her return to the stage, her autobiographical film project, her children and “the battle that every woman must fight. against the patriarchal world she lives in, a world that tries to corner us at different angles, much like in a bullfighting arena.”
Madonna will be at the Bell Center in Montreal on August 19 and 20 with her tour The Celebration Tour.
