OH SNAP. You know how Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow are no longer BFFS, after an alleged falling-out over… God knows. Something to do with fraud trainer Tracy Anderson, and maybe Kabbalah. Maybe Goop, maybe it’s just that too snotty bitch divas can’t get along forever. Anyway, THE SCANDAL: Madonna wore Stella McCartney, JUST LIKE GWYNETH. And guess what? I think Madonna got the prettier Stella dress. Right?
So… yeah, I think Madonna looks kind of great here. Her face work (twerk) is under control and she doesn’t look like someone just jammed a pair of two-big chicken cutlets into her cheeks. The hair is decent. And the dress is rather beautiful and (GASP) age-appropriate. Madge never wears anything age-appropriate, so seeing her all covered up and feminine, with her gristle and her thighs of doom under wraps is all rather… lovely.
I LOVE THE TRAIN. So pretty. I love the glittery stars. I love that Madonna surprised me by looking put together and pretty. Oh, Madge’s date was her manager – Guy Oseary. He’s cute. I think he’s dating Bridget Moynahan.
So… do you think Gwyneth was pissed that Madge showed up in Stella too? And that Madge got the prettier dress while Gwyneth was stuck with some circa 1999 Michael Kors reject? I wonder if they even spoke to each other at the event.

Love it. It’s the best she’s looked in ages, like she’s doing a reboot of SHANGHAI SURPRISE.
Definitely not a Madonna fan but she knows what to wear to the Met.
The dress is pretty. The problem is that she looks like a man in these photos!
Wow she does look great… I am still mad at her about Malawi though.
Not a huge fan of the satin, but overall she looks great. It’s so lovely to see her in something like this. I especially like the hair/make-up combo. She looks like an Old Hollywood star.
Ha, remember that year when she wore the Louis Vuitton get-up, with the bunny ears and thigh-high boots??
I actually really like this look. I don’t think I’ve said that about Madonna since the 80s. The whole thing’s very 1930s, which I love. The lipstick is maybe a little too bright for the dress colour, but other than that I really like it. Hopefully, this is the start of a Madge who dresses for her age.
Madonna looks great! I think the Old Hollywood style really suits her. That’s a nice color, too.
Her dress is indeed more beautiful than Gwyneth’s.
Don’t like Mads, but she looks great here. A topper.
Finally shes wearing something that fits her age. She looks elegant. Usually she’s dressed like her daughter…and it looks like shes trying to hard to look 20.
Love the cut and color, very old school Hollywood. I wish the stars were more of a “firework spray” type though instead of the basic star, it seems to cheapen it a little.
Fug matron. It’s the shade of the dress that’s a fail for me.
Love the dress on her. It definitely sends an FU to Goopy as to who got the better SM dress! haha!
I need this dress. I seriously need it. It is gorgeous and she looks brilliant in it.
She does look good here- maybe Lourdes had a word with her.
nice!
and age-appropiate! that’s a first….
love the dress!
As a 24 year old who LOVES stars, (seriously, I’ve got star tats everywhere)…I just think it cheapens the gown. The icy blue is gorgeous and it looks fab on Madonna, but the stars make it look so cheap.
her body looks great covered up.
Her hair & makeup look good, I really like the dress, but I think she is wearing way too much diamond jewelry. And I love jewelry. I think she should have done without the necklace since the dress has such a lovely neckline.
Love the dress and she looks good! Only one complaint – the lipstick is a bit too red/bright for her, but other than that, she looks nice.
Absolutely love the train of stars. She looks great.
I have never found her attractive and rarely like her clothing, but I have to say, she looks beautiful here. The dress is not matronly but it’s still age appropriate. Gorgeous. Good for her.
Lovely dress, gorgeous colour and Madge looks great here.
Love it!
She looks FANTASTIC!
That dress is stunning….perfect for Madonna. She looks perfect.
The blue is lovely on her and the cut fits her very well. She looks great.
But I give it a B because I agree with @escapee on the stars.I wish the star appliques were less literal. They kinda look like the ones you buy at Michaels or Joann Fabrics areound 4th of July.
The prettiest she has looked in a long time but it must be a really slow boring celebrity news day for all of these posts about fug not fug celebrity outfits.
Oh, my God! Can’t believe it! She has an elegant and age appropriate dress… I hope she wasn’t under the effect of “strange substances” when she choose it! That would explain her choise! 🙂 Seriously, I like the dress and I like her with it. It had never happened before.
Can’t stand her but she looks good (like her hair style).
Oooh, love the 1930s/1940s Hollywood look with the dress and hair. What a nice surprise. 🙂
I love this dress! Madge looks fantab.
Like the color very much for her, and the whole 1940s-Veronica-Lake vibe she’s got going on, but hate the stars ( high ick factor). Satin is almost never a good idea for anyone. Just too clingy/revealing, even if you have a very spare figure as does she.
FINALLY she gets it right. Age appropriate! And just the right amount of cleave. Sexy but not desperately sexy, the gristle is covered up and that retro style has always suited her beautifully. Her face isn’t that jacked up. That color is insane on her… Man, whens she gets it right, she gets it right!
Oh my, I love this dress. Stars! I love stars. And the color. Gah. This dress has the same effect on me as HGF – I’m all warm and speechless.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. She should look like this ALL THE TIME from NOW until FOREVER AND EVER. Even when she’s washing the dishes (or at least watching her maids washing the dishes).
The dress is pretty and she wears it well.
love this dress, especially the train and color.
guy also dated gwyneth.
great hair, great makeup and gorgeous dress. madge looks really pretty here and thank god she covered up the gristle.
LOVE Madonna’s whole look and I’m glad her face has settled.
She is shitting on all of the chicks there..looking good Madge.
LOVE it!
Great dress, but she looks like a well-preserved 65 year old.
Overall, blech.
It’s the neckline and the fit across her boobs. Seriously….put your hand over the top of the dress….sleek, lovely bodice into a brilliant train. LOVE it…
Now, cover the bottom….ACK! Not so bad in the last picture, from the side where it looks like she’s moving but full frontal…yes, it’s a vintage 40s look but the material just doesn’t work with that cut.
But I have to applaud Madge for covering up and dressing appropriately. And I have to snicker at the Goopie snub….ha!
I like the dress, but something about the stars is really tacky and budget
She looks quite lovely…like a star in a 1940s movie. If she looked like this more often, thousands fewer people would insult her appearance every chance they get.
Now that is how she should dress! Madonna is the same age as my mom and I am so sick of her flashing her old shit. I love this look on her, it’s very old hollywood, which is something Madonna has ALWAYS done well.
amazing choise… she couldn’t look more perfect
Bridget Moynahan is dating McG
Madge for the WIN!
Suck on that gristle, Gwynnie
Very pretty and I WAAAANNNT those shoes. You can tell that she feels good in this outfit because her face is very soft and happy. Confident, but still feminine. Lighter colors look good on her.
As you said: surprisingly age appropriate.
Gorgeous. Sexy but classy. One of the best dressed there, and I love love her jewelry, her hair, makeup. One of the best gowns I’ve ever seen Stella McCartney do. And the back is stunning. And she’s working on a new album. Yaayyyy.
And she’s put on a few pounds since she was scary skinny and had such bulging veins skinny arms. I give her a break, though, because she was going through a divorce. But she is back to her 2006/2007 Confessions tour body, not so painfully bone thin. Her arms look better.
I wished she dressed more like this! it has been a long time since she looked this good!
@Anait, actually since her forties, Madonna has, for the most part, always dressed age appropriately, very classic look, dresses never too short, except for the after Oscars party when she thought she was in concert and forgot and wore one of her costumes. LOL
Satin is tough, but I really like the dress and she looks good for a change.
I agree with samigirl about the stars. They do cheapen an otherwise surprisingly (for Stella) attractive dress.
Since Madonna’s gotten old, she’s developed this seriously smug facial expression. Whatever the reason for it, it seriously turns me off.
Absolutely stunning! One of the best dressed of the evening. Her face looks amazing (thank goodness!), make up/hair is flawless. Her body is killer. Choice of jewelry and accessories are just right. And the dress is exquisite, stars and all. She had the best Stella McCartney creation of the evening, even better than Stella herself!
Well done, Madonna. Hope to see more of you looking as glamorous as you are!
same exact color as scarjo with sean penn at white house correspondent’s dinner. Weird coincidence?
Boring. This is MADONNA and thats the best she can do? I get that shes old now but cant she have some of that style and flair that made her famous? Idk, the color is just not doing it for me.
I guess this fits her age, but I don’t care for that color on her.
Well done, Her Madgesty!
I like the dress, hair, and make-up. Nothing cheap or tacky this time around. My favorite of the dresses I’ve seen.
wow! For once she dressed her age, this dress looks awesome on her!
Winning!
ADORABLE! I’ve always found her beautiful.
Beautiful! She really looks perfect here.
My favourite, she’s looks amazing. I haven’t seen her look this good in years. Love the hair, make-up and the dress is perfect, beautiful colour.
Love this dress! love the color, the train…all of it. usually, not a huge satin fan, but the color totally makes it work
Yuk, Yuk! I dont like the dress – I dont like her manly veiny/muscled arms and I dont like her hair! Pretty much, I guess I am not liking this outfit!
she does look fab, and better yet, like herself, before all the weirdness started taking over her face. yay madge!
Stunning color, gorgeous train of stars-this is one of Madonna’s greatest fashion hits!
Lookin’ good Madge! Love the colour, the fit is perfect (as others have pointed out satin is a bitch to wear well), and it is indeed age appropriate yet still glam and sexy.
Don’t care for Madonna at all, but she looks great here.
Love Madonna’s hair..classy dress too. This is the best look Madge has had in years.
IMO, Madonna looks stunning here, very nostalgic and beautiful. But, if there is a book somewhere that says the older you get, the more you need to cover up, it should be burnt. I’ve never read it, but lots of people appear to know what age appropriate it. You’d think that idea would finally disolve. I mean, I think that’s why we have a neck – to turn it if we don’t like what we see. I say wear whatever you want, especially if you feel good wearing it.
omg, what are you people seeing here….she looks like a F*CKING MESS.
I love it. I kinda wish that the embroidered stars were something else, like cherry blossoms or birds or something, but maybe that’s just too damned predictable? I really like this look on her.
I thought she looked great too- beautiful retro dress, gorgeous retro hair, good make-up! And nobody else had a dress even remotely similar to this one! Nice job Madge!
I love the dress, but that woman…. yeek
