Madonna has joined the likes of Kathy Griffin and President Barack Obama to add her support to young gay people going through a difficult time. Inspired by the It Gets Better Project and speaking on Ellen,Madonna credits the gay community for her career and tells the TV talk show host that charity really does begin at home.
Domencio Dolce and Stefano Gabbana think Linda Evangelista is the ultimate model.
The design duo have worked with many beauties over the years but believe the Canadian star is the best in the industry because she is both “masculine and feminine”.
Domencio said: “For me Linda Evangelista encapsulates the Dolce & Gabbana aesthetic, because she’s like Ana Magnani and Sophia Loren. She’s string and has character.”
Stefano added: “Linda’s masculine and feminine. She is! She did a lot of Dolce & Gabbana men’s campaigns for us in the beginning.”
While Linda is their dream model, Domencio and Stefano admit one of the most memorable moments in their 20-year career is when Madonna donned one of their creations.
Domenico said: “A memorable moment for me was when we met Madonna in New York. We had always looked at Madonna as fans. We would say, ‘Ah, can you imagine if one day Madonna dressed in Dolce & Gabbana?’ 18 months later the dream came true.”
The designers also revealed how they could never choose their favourite collection because it would feel like picking between children.
Stefano said: “It’s impossible to say what is our favourite collection. That’s as if you have 10 children and somebody says choose one - you can’t!”
Domenico added to Britain’s InStyle magazine: “We couldn’t even choose between our dogs - Dali, Rosa and Toto.”
I think 'repulsive' is a bit strong. The main problem is she has a major case of pillow face due to the over use of fillers, give her a few months and she will look fine again. American derm's aren't known largely for their restraint and it looks as though she's been a victim of this.
You have to admit though she has gorgeous skin, even in the HQ shot she looks flawless and isn't wearing much makeup at all.
She is truly truly grotesque.....almost monstrous.
I used to look up to her so much-in her prime I would never have guessed that she would cave into the pressures of society like so many tragic bores-she used to walk to the beat of her own drum and now she is the worst kind of follower.
She would have been so stunning if she aged naturally, I can just imagine it! In 5 years she will look like Jocelyn Wildenstein

She looks a lot better than the blonde woman stud next to her who I assume is actually younger than Madonna. I think the celebrity world has distorted our views a lot but I don't know any 'normal' 52 year old woman who looks better than Madonna so she's doing something right.
From a fashion perspective she is very hit and miss anyway when it comes to public appearances but when it comes to her videos and stage shows she is usually very fashion forward.
I can't help but think that most of the critique that Madonna has these days is rooted in ageism and that's just wrong.
