Dressed up to the nines and wearing plenty of make-up, Madonna still manages to look pretty sensational for a woman rapidly approaching her half century.
But bare-faced and in short sleeves, she reveals some of the gruelling health and beauty regime behind the glamour.
Madonna, seen holding hands with her daughter Lourdes as they left a Kabbalah centre in New York, wore a T-shirt which exposed the veins standing out on arms subjected to endless workouts.

Well said, FRiend. How are things in your fair land today?
Can’t she afford soap and water?
I share my birthday with Alan Alda. Ugh.
Stone throwers? Geez, you are a complete drama queen.
As for Madonna looking close to 50, what sort of late 40s women have you been hanging out with? The only 50 year olds I’ve ever seen looking like that were very ill or had a history of substance abuse. My wife’s sisters are all past or approaching 50 and not one of them looks even half this bad.
I'd feel for ya, were it not for the fact that I share mine with Fabio.
Exactly. My friends and I are in our late 40’s and don’t look anything like that. Madonna looks horrid.
I saw her brother on Chelsea Lately the other day promoting the book. Another strange bird. Chelsea commented on the plastic surgery from the back f the book pic and her brother confirmed it.
I’ll bet there are 50 or 60 men looking at that pic of Madonna and making Dr. appointments.
Why would that trigger an appointment?
Legs, I wanted to show this to you so that you would avoid the same mistakes and results 30 years from now.
Ha! I’ll never be skinny enough to pull off the ‘veiny’ look.
My plan is to start gaining weight as I get older to stave off wrinkles.
I think she doesn't look very good in the body. Comparing her to 50-year-olds that I know, I don't think she looks all that bad.
2. You really think were having a laugh because a 50 year old looks 50? Nothing else to it?
Well, I don't know, Mr. Silverback. I can't read your minds. It just seems awfully mean to me, like people aren't allowed to get old. I was agreeing with another Freeper that it isn't nice to "have a laugh" at people because they get old. There's a lot of that on FR, and I agree with the poster I was responding to on the matter.
I know you to be a Christian gentleman, Mr. Silverback. Are you having a bad day today?
Reminds me of Iggy Pop, but without the needle marks.
I meant very muscular.
Concern over an STD? HIV in particular.
I have seen many people her age who did not look that bad. It’s not a matter of her being older. It’s a matter of the reporter saying she looks good when she does not. There is getting old and there is getting haggard.
LOL, now I get it!
Merle.
LOL!
