Madonna showed off her flawless features as she posed next to daughter Lourdes in new Instagram snaps, after recently hitting back at critics of her age-defying appearance.

The Queen of Pop, 64, was seen with her arms wrapped around Lourdes, 26, who wore a black lace transparent dress for the occasion.

The singer drew attention to her magnetic blue eyes with dramatic lashes and accentuated her pout with a matte shade of red-tinted lipstick.

The snaps appeared to be taken following her controversial appearance at Sunday’s 2023 Grammy Awards after which fans dubbed her face ‘unrecognizable.’

On Tuesday the Papa Don’t Preach hitmaker confronted criticism about her appearance at the ceremony in a lengthy Instagram post hitting out at ‘ageism and misogyny.’

Meanwhile Lourdes wore her long black tresses styled straight and cascading down her back, and sported picture-perfect makeup like her mom.

The hitmaker was defiant as she shared a video of her night at the Grammys, where she partied with Sam Smith and Cardi B.

Her accompanying caption hit out at the comments about her ‘unrecognisable’ appearance during Sunday’s broadcast, which have dominated social media for two days.

According to Madonna it was the ‘closeup’ from a ‘long lens camera’ that distorted her face and made it appear rounder and puffier than it actually was.

She diagnosed the problem, adding, ‘Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny That permeates the world we live in.’

In her lengthy caption, Madonna called it an ‘honor’ to introduce Kim Petras — the first openly trans person to win a Grammy — as well as Sam Smith, who shared the duo award and became the first openly non-binary artist to win in the Best Pop Duo/Group Collaboration category.

She noted that she opted to introduce Petras, rather than presenting for the coveted Album of the Year prize, as she thought the former moment would be more important and befitting her trailblazing status.

But Madonna was annoyed at how people ignored her words and instead focused on her appearance.

‘Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim- Many people chose to only talk about Close-up photos of me Taken with a long lens camera By a press photographer that Would distort anyone’s face!!’ she said.

‘Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny That permeates the world we live in.’

Madonna complained that she lived in a ‘world that refuses to celebrate women pass the age of 45 And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong willed, hard-working and adventurous [sic].’

She continued, declaring that she wasn’t about to start apologizing for ‘any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start.’

The Like A Prayer singer said that while she felt she has been ‘degraded’ since her earliest days of fame, ‘I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.’

She sounded even more fierce in a tweet she posted later on Tuesday. She leaned her head down and glanced ahead dramatically while saying ‘the world’ would ‘never break me.’
