Not like a virgin.
Madonna shared a series of sultry, semi-nude photos on Instagram on Wednesday, leaving little to the imagination and plenty to discuss.
“Angel watching over Me ♥️,” the 63-year-old singer captioned photos of herself posing seductively on a bed in lingerie, fishnet stockings, and Christian Louboutin heels.
In some of the photos, the “Like a Virgin” singer was topless – one of which she censored with a red heart emoji – and in others, she flaunted her toned bum.

“What happened to you?” Over 1,500 “likes” were received after one person asked in the comments.
“What are you doing?😂😂😂” said another, who received over 7,000 “likes.”
“Instead of doing this ridiculous pictures, do some quality music as you used to do. 😒,” a third person suggested.
However, it wasn’t just Madonna’s fans who were critical and perplexed, as a few celebrities also voiced their opinions on the controversial photo shoot.
On his Instagram account, rapper and producer 50 Cent chastised the “Papa Don’t Preach” singer for her seductive photos.
“👀“yo this is the funniest s–t! LOL 😆,” He captioned a screenshot of Madge’s bottom with, “LOL.” “That’s Madonna under the bed, pretending to be a virgin at the age of 63.” If she doesn’t get her old ass up, she’ll be shot. “LMFAO 😆😆😆😆🚦GLG.”

Shad “Lil Bow Wow” Moss told the “In Da Club” rapper he was “cold blooded” for his remark, but the rest of the internet laughed along with him.
Meanwhile, on Instagram, Kate Beckinsale shared a series of texts in which she joked with her daughter, Lily Mo Sheen, that the pictures of Madonna’s butt were hers.
“Do you think I went too far in posting this?” “The thing is, my ass looks good,” the “Underworld” star said to the 22-year-old, who replied, “I must say, I’m a little confused.”
“I’m so relieved,” Sheen said when Beckinsale told her daughter she was just playing a joke on her. I actually sat down to deal with it.”
In her caption, the “Serendipity” star wrote, “@lily sheen had a fright.” “May God continue to bless @madonna💕.”
After causing a stir on social media, Madonna claimed on Thursday that the photos were taken down by Instagram because they were too revealing.
“It still amazes me that we live in a culture where every inch of a woman’s body is allowed to be shown except a nipple,” she captioned the re-uploaded photos. “As if that’s the only sexually exploitable part of a woman’s anatomy.” “It’s the nipple that feeds the baby!”
“Giving thanks that I have managed to maintain my sanity through four decades of censorship…… sexism…..ageism and misogyny,” the “Vogue” singer added, with a nod to Thanksgiving.

“Perfectly timed with the lies we’ve been taught about the pilgrims peacefully breaking bread with Native American Indians on Plymouth Rock!” she concluded. “May God bless the United States of America.”
Madonna is no stranger to posting pictures of herself half-naked on social media or in magazines.
She recently bared her buttocks in nude fishnet stockings for her V magazine cover shoot.
“I don’t even think about my age, to tell you the truth,” the “Material Girl” said in the accompanying interview of her four-decade-long career. “I just keep moving forward.”
