Madonna is striving to resemble her “old self.”
The 64-year-old music icon “has vowed to return to a more natural look after coming under fierce criticism over her changing appearance.”
Earlier this year, the Material Girl singer suffered harsh criticism from her fans after undergoing plastic surgery to alter her appearance, notably her face.
Previously, it was rumoured that Madonna was experiencing a “confidence crisis” following her separation with her much younger lover, Andrew Darnell, and ageist remarks about her “unrecognizable look” at the Grammys in February 2023.
Apart from her divorce from Darnell, Madonna’s self-esteem is claimed to have been affected by her fans’ ageist and misogynistic comments following her recent participation at the Grammys.
Madonna startled audiences during the 65th Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony on February 5, 2023, with her unrecognisable appearance.
The Queen of Pop served as a host, introducing Sam Smith and Kim Petras for their “Unholy” performance.
The crowd was taken aback by Madonna’s trendy, youthful appearance and perfect skin, which she donned with a fitting, tailored black jacket and a matching black skirt.
“The True Blue hitmaker surprised the crowd with her jaw-dropping wrinkle-free look while introducing Sam Smith and Kim Petras as they prepared to sing their hit track, Unholy, which won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance during the ceremony,”

According to Daily Mail, “And while Madonna was quick to slam the critical comments about her looks – while denying any plastic surgery rumors – behind the scenes, an insider says she was deeply ‘affected’ by the criticism and is taking steps to ensure that she returns to her more natural self before hitting the stage for her first concert on July 15.”
A source close to the Hung Up singer told Daily Mail that she is currently undergoing procedures to revert to her natural looks.
“Despite what people think, the criticism over her drastically different appearance does affect her. She sees and hears what people say about her and, for the tour, she wants to look more like herself again for her fans.”

The mum-of-six is also intending to include her children in her shows, according to the insider.
“She will be bringing them along on tour and will include them in the show.”
The source continued, “Madonna is really turning it out. She is in incredible shape and is going to kill it with this tour. It may be her last tour, so she wants to make it perfect. She is incredible shape and her body is sick.”
“This is her labor of love. Her perfectionism is driving everyone up the wall but she does not care. The crew is working their a** off because everyone wants to make her happy. She has no issues whatsoever with firing someone at the drop of a hat.”
