[|PerfectTonight|]

Man, can she like change clothes!

 

[Diamond Star]

Much better than I thought it would be...I'm not a huge Madonna fan but it's the first cover she's done for a while that I've actually liked...maybe because her legs are closed

 

[ChicParisienne]

Man, can she like change clothes!

Maybe she still has a lot to confess on the dance floor!

 

[style_expert]

as usual...who styled the cover?...

was there anything to style? isn't she wearing the same thing over and over again, on every cover and every recent pic?

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Madonna goes way back with Vanity Fair, not many artist's can say the same today.Here are all her VF cover's:

... her cheek implants...

Her cheek implants are a bit much. I like the idea behind the photograph, just not the actual execution so much.

Madonna has cheek impants? :|

I just thought it was airbrushing and make-up, rather than radical surgery.

I just thought it was airbrushing and make-up, rather than radical surgery.

It looks like a combination of both! Something about her face just doesn't strike me right - especially in the eye area! Cheek implants had me rolling on the floor though... the things people do to themselves.

Still, she looks great for her age! She has an amazing body, and she may still be beating the dead leotard horse, but she really does know how to wear them.

Vanity Fair.com has posted 4 previews of the Madonna article spreads, together with an article preview:

Cover Story

Madonnarama!

As she nears 50, Madonna’s narrative is shifting. Yes, there’s another new super-pop album, Hard Candy, with Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams. But there’s also Filth and Wisdom, the feature film she’s co-written, produced, and directed, and I Am Because We Are, her documentary on Malawi, the aids-ravaged country where she controversially adopted her third child. Whisked to L.A. for an intense prep session, followed by an almost two-hour interview, the author explores the evolution of the Madonna myth as she harnesses her image-making genius to a cause, a philosophy, and the search for her true self.

for those who were interested, jessica diehl styled the cover.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^^Thank you.

She looks absoloutely great and yes Tigerrouge its down to airbrushing, she does not have cheek implants,i think people dont get that pictures can be manipulated with make-up.etc but these days every famous woman is accused of radical surgery,its just silly.

Madonna has cheek impants? :|

She sure started to look like she does when she began promoting the movie she directed.
And before that she was seen with a bruised face.
