A slick of red lipstick; a shock of platinum blonde hair; and those thick, unruly brows – just three of Madonna’s beauty signatures. A master of beauty reinvention, the “Like a Virgin” singer has experimented with all manner of hairstyles, from a punkish electric blonde pixie crop to Marilyn Monroe pin-curls, and she expertly marries high glamour with a girl-next-door sensibility. “Better to live one year as a tiger, than a hundred as a sheep,” she once said. An icon if ever there was one, at 65 she has just embarked upon her The Celebration World Tour. Here, British Vogue takes a look back at some of her best vintage beauty moments.
