Madonna is going on 50, but she has the body of a 25 year old!

It’s interesting that Madonna’s new album is not making news so much because of the music and her collaborations with some of the heavy hitters such as Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, and Nate “Danja” Hills.

Nope, Madonna is making news because she’s about to turn 50 in a few months and she looks a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y incredible. I’ve recently seen her new video and it’s simply mindboggling. The entire time I kept telling myself she’s 50 years old …. she’s 50 years old … she’s 50 years old.

Madonna’s look even got my dear friend Natasha emailing me and begging me to feature her as a Celebrity Beauty Match Pick because she said the pop star was truly an inspiration to all women when it came to looking amazing as you age.

Yes, I know, I know, you are about to say that you to would look that incredible at 50 if you had access to a personal chef, an army of nannies, a personal trainer, a cleaning person for each room of your British mansion, a personal yoga instructor, a Kabbalah mentor on speed dial, more money than God and some of the best stylists in the business. My reply to you would be that I’ve seen a number of women in their 50s who don’t have Madonna’s glam-squad and they look as incredible as the Ambitious Blonde (they made that conscious choice). I would also add that many Hollywood stars in their 50s (and younger) who have a lot of money and access to a string of über expensive talent don’t look that good or that confident.

It’s safe to say that in Madonna’s case, health and fitness have been as much part of her persona as her costume changes on stage. In her younger years, Madonna was obsessed with hard-core training every single day of the week. It’s true that the type of prowess she has demonstrated on stage has required her to be at the top of her form. With age Madonna has ease off of more strenuous exercise routines, which she’s replaced with copious doses of yoga.
