When was Madonna at her peak of physical beauty?

When would you say Madonna was at her most beautiful? I say around the time of “The Power of Goodbye”. She looked absolutely gorgeous in that video. The fair skin with the dark hair only made her eyes stand out even more. She looked striking!

She never looked this good prior or after! An absolute beauty here! I also love this song!!!

When she fell backwards off the stage

That's like asking when was Roger Federer's vibrato the most controlled.

Probably at the very moment she decided she had to start ripping her face up.

Definitely circa [italic]Erotica.

It was her best period creatively as well.

Of her what, now?

Late 30s. Physically in top shape, lost all the baby fat in her face and you could see her great bone structure.

Definitely before she started screwing around with plastic surgery and fillers

Madonna was never "gorgeous" and I think it's insulting to her to suggest that her career was based on being beautiful rather than talent and hard work.

I'm 57 and I'm sick of her and wish she'd go away but I do have respect for her, and I can promise you that people weren't talking about her back in the 80s because she was "beautiful." (In fact we laughed at her when she tried to pretend she looked like Marilyn Monroe in the Material Girl video.)

Are you serious? No matter if you like her or not, Madonna used to be stunning.

R8 she was a pop girl. Guys wanted to bone her. Stop lying.

She looked pretty good in [italic] Evita. [/italic]

That black hair looked terrible on her. She should have kept her ray of light video hairstyle longer than she did.

R10 The big sex symbols of the 80's (not counting models and porn stars) were Brigitte Nielsen, Kelly LeBrock, Phoebe Cates, Samantha Fox. Gloria Estefan, Tawny Kitean and Molly Ringwald.

Madonna was never beautiful. The guys I knew weren’t even that crazy about her music. She always had an attitude with her fans which straight guys don’t like. Plus she was very short with over exaggerated features. Attractive yes beautiful never....

Most Straight guys were never into her music. Her music is for women and gays. They just wanted to bone her, like all those pop girls.

by Anonymousreply 16September 16, 2020 10:22 PM

Brigitte Nielsen, Gloria Estefan, and Molly Ringwald as sex symbols?

LOL, no.

These threads always attract a group of bullshitters who insist Madonna was never a sex symbol. Meanwhile, her videos were one of the few by female artists on MTV that straight teen boys would stop and watch.

"She always had an attitude with her fans which straight guys don’t like."

Talk about not having a clue what straight guys care about.

"Sure she has nice tits, but I can't jack off to them until I know how she treat her fans....

I always thought she was beautiful just after she gave birth to Lourdes, and did that interview with Oprah Winfrey.

I think the Erotica period could've been a stunning time for her except she kept doing weird things (like the Heidi outfit, the gold tooth, etc).

The only time in my life I've ever heard straight guys explicitly talk about how they wanted to slip her one was when she released the "Don't Tell Me" video.

My brother was hot for her during the chubby slutty period, Like a Virgin era. He was a young teen then.

Madonna was never more than okay looking. She was young and athletic and that takes a woman a long, long way. But beautiful? Her teeth aren't even any good.

I'm not a big Madonna fan in the least but I listen to the Ray of Light album/cd/whatever fairly often - I think it is really good

She was never considered a beauty.

by Anonymousreply 25September 16, 2020 10:52 PM

She wasn’t considered a beauty. She was considered hot. They don’t go hand in hand always.

Cold, void of emotion, vampire appearance and not great vocals either, but she's got lots o chutzpa.

I loved her look in Dress You Up With My Love video. But maybe most beautiful was Bad Girl video.

r13 I didn't know any straight men who found Molly Ringwald sexy

Madonna was never ugly nor ever beautiful. She was cute and blonde with a hot body and her music videos and dance routine showed off her physique. That is enough to get straight guys horny. If you look at straight porn, most of the girls aren't great beauties but they have nice bodies. I think personally Madonna looked better with darker hair (Like A Prayer) or brownish hair (Ray of Light), she looked pretty during those eras. Her regular bleached blonde look makes her look too harsh and that short do during the True Blue era was probably her most unflattering look.

I don’t know about beautiful but I don’t think she was ever more pretty than in Cherish. Herb Ritts done good for her.

As others have said Madonna was never beautiful. Early on she was slutty-sexy and quickly became more polished and interestingly naughty-sexy; back then she was always fuckable.

Even at the time it was impressive what she was able to do with her really fairly average level of natural attractiveness by dint of sheer will and effort, but she never had the kind of effortless beauty of a Lisa Bonet — she just had a fair amount of looks and talent and an unfathomable amount of confidence and ambition.

Her first and second albums. She looked great then.

by Anonymousreply 36July 5, 2021 12:51 AM

Not sure Gloria Estefan nor Molly Rongwd were sex symbols, more girl next door cute.

Kelly le Brock is a better example of an 80s sex symbol.
