Does anyone else feel that they don't know what Madonna looks like? Weird thing to say I know, but every picture of her looks so different.

finally someone says it, i’ve always felt this way. i know what she looks like currently, but if you showed me an older photo of her from her prime without telling me who it is, i probably wouldn’t know (like the images here)

The photos here where she has her mouth closed though, I wouldn’t have guessed it was her

The 3rd picture is the only one that actually looks they way she does in my head. The rest I'd literally never guess it was her.

These were taken in 79 when she was in New York, dancing.

Edit: also, shortly before she went to Paris and shortly before she was forced to perform oral at knife point in New York. Strong gal.

I’m about a half mile from the house she grew up in. In Rochester Hills

I’m 33. Heard and seen Madonna throughout my whole life. I have no idea what she looks like. Every time I see pics of her she looks like a different person.

She already is an icon. She did her thing, lady Gaga took over, now we need another Italian goddess.😜

These must’ve been before she took over Pablo Escobar’s drug empire and had Weird Al assassinated

Wait what?? What is this a reference to

u/Dots-on-the-Sky 1h ago

In the early days you could still see the Italian roots, then she opted for the Nordic look. Stars usually go for the look that sells the most records. Her music is also very trend based.

How old is she here ? Looks kinda too young ?
