The "queen of pop" was once again the protagonist with ten photos in which she is seen posing on a bed
Madonna was once again the protagonist on Instagram with the publication of ten photos in which she is seen in provocative poses on a bed, wearing black lingerie, fishnet stockings and Louboutin stilettos, with her characteristic red soles.
In less than 2 hours, she had already received countless likes and comments from her fans who follow her on the social network. The diva published the snapshots accompanied by the phrase "an angel watching over me", by the image of a cherub hanging above the bed in which she lies for portraits.
A few weeks ago, Madonna had given what to talk about for a controversial production for the cover of the winter issue of V Magazine. Decades after her remembered tribute to her late diva in the video for her hit Material Girl, she posed almost n-de to emulate Marilyn's last photo shoot before her untimely death in 1962 at 36. years.
The 63-year-old singer was photographed lying on a bed wearing fishnet stockings, white gloves, a diamond cross necklace and her hair curly in Marilyn's signature style. And in another image, bottles of prescription pills are displayed stacked next to the same bed.
Photographer Steven Klein explained the vision behind this production, which was highly questioned on social networks due to the belief that it recreates the deathbed of Monroe, who was found dead in her Brentwood home due to an apparent overdose of pills for sleep. “In bad taste”, “disgusting and inappropriate” and “causes nausea”, were some of the most replicated reactions on Twitter.
"This photo essay was inspired by a session Marilyn Monroe did with photographer Bert Stern called The Last Sitting," Klein told the magazine. “They did the shoot at the Bel Air hotel in 1962, before she passed away. What was supposed to be a three-hour session turned into a three-day whirlwind, working day and night. Drinking, laughing, taking photos, editing, sleeping and then taking more photos: a private matter between two artists that does not usually happen anymore, ”he added.
According to Klein, when he showed Madonna the Stern photos, she "was really moved by Marilyn's incandescent fragility at that point in her life."
"We decided to find a hotel suite and try to capture the link between a star and the camera, the mystery and magic of this creative collaboration," Klein said. And he concluded: "We hope we have done justice to the great work of Bert Stern and Marilyn Monroe."
