Bring on the airbrushing! Louis Vuitton has just unveiled new ads featuring Madonna in which she looks like a wax figurine. Shot by Steven Meisel for Fall 2009, the Material Madge looks gorgeous, but I’d rather see her in all her womanly glory (and yes, that means with crow’s feet!). Let’s celebrate aging and the way women’s faces are really supposed to look, rather than erasing every last trace of humanity, wisdom and…well…age!
Fashionologie reports that, somewhere out there, there’s a video that will soon be released, too. I am loving the high-concept videos that glamour-machines like Lancome, Chanel and Dior have been putting out recently. My all-time favorite remains the Chanel No. 5 ad with Estella Warren as Little Red Riding Hood. I remember seeing it when I was younger and thinking it was so chic. Check out my favorite below!

Madonna does look like a wax figurine. Perfect, but maybe too perfect for her age. She looks like she’s in her twenties. If you didn’t mention her name, I would have never thought it was her.
