Skinny VS Curvy

This one looks ridiculously plastic, just like a mannequin! The Daily Mail says it all:

Madonna somehow always manages to hold the ageing process back, however for her latest campaign she seems to have turned back time. But the lengths to which Louis Vuitton has gone to keep Madonna looking eternally youthful may be a bit extreme, with the Material Girl looking almost plastic in this latest ad. In particular, the fingers of her right hand seem to have been stuck on – are they someone else’s? Or just bleached to white through airbrushing?

Photo editors seem to have shaved at least 20 years off the megastar, leaving her looking more like Sophie Dahl than her true 50-year-old self. In place of her typically veiny hands – renowned for giving away the true age of a woman – her fingers were smooth and slender. In the ad, Madonna looks ethereal as she reclines in a blue armchair were a burgundy taffeta dress, lacy fingerless gloves and pink bunny ears – similar to the antenna-style headwear she wore to the Costume Institute Gala earlier this year.

While Madonna is in undeniably good shape for a 50-year-old woman, she looks far too young to be a mother-of-four in the new shots for Louis Vuitton’s Autumn/Winter ‘09 collection. The Vogue singer posed for acclaimed photographer Steven Meisel, who shot her controversial 1992 book Sex, who also took the previous season’s ad. The latest campaign makes Madonna look a little more innocent than what has come before. The last Louis Vuitton advertisement in December was certainly more raunchy.

The singer has reportedly been paid £6.5million for the campaign.

Who? The always-edgy, the always “must show some skin” Madonna

She wore this number where? At the Vanity Fair Oscar After Party, quite a formal event.

Plus Points: Her make-up looks great and she looks super toned, but not buff.

Madonna in a See-Through Dress – Wow or Eww?

Oh my. Oh eww wow.

Madonna seems to bounce from the ultra-sexually explicit look to the sweaty, messy, mega-muscly and veiny one (see after the jump) - I think I prefer… neither.

Clearly, these aren’t airbrushed.

See the racy rest on the next page!

Oh, wow! Can she get any racier?

First 3 pictures: Tummy, breasts, nipples… they’re all out and the (covered) rest is just as provocative, if not more! I really understand the meaning of “Flaunt it while you’ve got it” and yeah, Madonna’s got a flat stomach and impossibly toned legs, but there is just TOO MUCH “I gotta be sexy, gotta be sexy” going on here.

Second picture: I’m kinda surprised that Madonna is actually looking her age here and they didn’t metamorphoze her into a plastic and impossibly-flawless doll.

Definitely debatable!

So let’s talk!
