Madonna in Givenchy at the Grammys: matador realness or try-hard?

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

Let me start off with something nice about Madonna: her new face looks pretty good. I was genuinely worried because Madge hasn’t wanted us to see her new face in candid photos, and even on the Grammys red carpet last night, she was still wearing some netted hat to cover up some of her work. But we got a better look at her face and it moves and everything. Granted, she’s had MAJOR work done to her face and body over the past year or so, but it’s quality work, so good for her, I guess. Her girls look very new as well.

Madonna wore this Givenchy on the red carpet, and she wore Givenchy for her performance too. Ugh. None of the outfits were cute and she already did the matador thing like 20 years ago. Is Madge recycling? Perhaps. Madge also had a NSFW surprise with her red carpet outfit once you saw her from behind – go here to see the NSFW photo.

So, let’s talk about Madge’s whole vibe last night, starting with the red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest. As she was talking, only Diplo was paying attention, because Nas looked SO embarrassed. Everything about Madonna just seemed like “Look at me, I’m so young and ageless and I’m hip like all the kidz!!!” But what really made her seem flat-out OLD was her performance of her new single, “Living For Love.”

I actually laughed out loud whenever Madonna tried to “dance”. Her poor backup dancers, you guys. They were just throwing her around and trying to make it look like she was so flexible. And she wasn’t. She was moving so gingerly, like she was afraid she would break something (a very real possibility). I just want to ask her: what’s so wrong with just accepting your age? Is it really that horrible? There’s nothing so aging as trying so desperately to cling to one’s youth.
