Madonna celebrates 66th birthday with bold photos in Portofino

On her birthday, the eternally youthful Madonna, her partner, children, and a group of friends visited the villa of Stefano Dolce and Domenico Gabbana in Portofino. Accompanying them was a photographer who captured the birthday girl in bold photos.

Madonna's career, which has spanned almost half a century, has been built not only on catchy songs but also on breaking taboos and shocking the public with scandals. While her position as the pop queen was once undisputed, her current repetitive music and Instagram antics evoke more pity than admiration.

Madonna's 66th birthday fell on August 16th. As she does every year, the singer has decreed that she will celebrate her birthday for an entire week. She magnanimously took her new lover, her children, and a group of friends to Portofino aboard a private jet.

The birthday girl naturally shared the celebration on social media. A series of carefully selected photos appeared on her Instagram profile—looking at them, it's hard to believe that the artist is nearing seventy.

The music queen showcased several shots, including photos of where she feasted with her loved ones. There were also shots of her children and her 28-year-old lover, Jamaican footballer Akeem Morris.

In the photos captured by photographer Ricardo Gomes, we see the star dressed in iconic outfits from the famous Italian brand, posing for the camera. Thanks to filters and graphic edits, the famous lover of plastic surgery looks only slightly older than her daughter.

Does she look "hot"?
