Madonna 'doesn’t look like herself' says Lorraine over 'disappointing' new look

Lorraine Kelly shared her thoughts on Madonna's new look after fans were left stunned by the pop legend's appearance at the Grammys at the weekend.

Entertainment correspondent Ross King told the ITV host that Madonna looked "unrecognisable" at the awards ceremony on Sunday night.

After being shown an image of Madonna at the Grammys, Lorraine asked: "What's going on? It looks like someone who has surgery to look like Madonna."

"She doesn't look like herself," the ITV presenter continued as Ross agreed. "She can do whatever she likes, she’s Madonna she can do whatever she wants, she’s paid her dues."

"But I think it’s a little bit disappointing that she feels she has to because I always thought Madonna was above the rules. It’s a shame, it’s a shame but she’s still Madonna."

Many fans were stunned by the hit maker's new look as one tweeted: "Me attempting to ignore the fact that Madonna has a whole new face #Grammys."

"If they didn’t announce that was Madonna I’d have no idea who this person presenting at the Grammys was," another echoed.

However, others flocked to defend Madonna as one wrote: “Sick of seeing comments on Madonna’s face on here. As we know women can’t win. Can you imagine pop culture without her contribution? No. Have some respect.”

Another said: “To the people who judge Madonna’s appearance, saying she has destroyed her face – or their mum looks better at age 64 – are perfectly proving why women feel the need to have cosmetic surgery in the first place.”

In 2018, Madonna spoke about her experience of ageism in the music industry, saying: “What I am going through now is ageism, with people putting me down or giving me a hard time because I date younger men or do things that are considered to be only the domain of younger women.

“10 to 20 years from now, it’s going to be normal,” she added. “People are going to shut up.”
