Look, if you don’t focus on the black bunny ears and the bubble skirt, Madonna looks fairly extraordinary for her age. Which is 51. Given that she is widely acknowledged to have had fairly extensive surgery and works out most of the hours in every day, that is hardly surprising.
But was that good enough for Louis Vuitton? Say it with me now: noooooooooo.
The un-retouched images from her 2009 ad campaign have just surfaced and while they’re not surprising, once again, it’s an important reminder that fashion images should have a big fat FICTION stamp on them. Or maybe just a disclaimer saying: “This is an illustration and in no way reflective of what Madonna, or indeed any other 51 year old women could ever look like in a million years. Heck, you couldn’t even look like this if you were 15.”

How is how she looks haggard? She looks crazily good for a 51 yo! If you reckon that looks haggard, meet some real Mums face to face! Hell, meet ANY real woman face to face!
i think LV is just creating a fantasy style campaign and would have probably done the same with a 14yo model, i don't think its done in a bad way @ all. don't think the original pic is the best one of the shoot, and i work with models and in all photo shoots even 14yo have a bad photo, its more about the angle, light and so on, i'm sure there are some great pics of madonna from the LV shoot as well, but as i said i believe that the effect on the photo would've been there anyway.i like it!
