Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani is almost 10 YEARS OLDER than Madonna, so this is an unfair comparison for both. I met her in Paris last year, she is petite and beautiful in her own right - certainly less plastic than most American celebs her age, that's true, but more truly elegant too. Her style has nothing to do with Madonna and viceversa - Madonna is the chameleon we all know, while Sozzani has been looking the same as long as I can remember. The old 'mermaid' hair may not be to everyone's liking but I can assure you that it is so weirdly beautiful that definitely works for her.
Back in the 80s Madonna wasn't a classical beauty - the first thing I remember about her was public opinion chastising her chunky calves in spandex leggings. Probably because of this, she made it possible for millions of girls of any shape, sizes or colour to feel good in their skin - or just to wear silly accessories that made them happy and get away with it, like I did at the time. Through her antics, she has been breaking glass ceilings for women - in her latest incarnation she she is helping defy the limits society puts on age. I am 15 years younger than her and when I saw her on stage last year, my friends and I thought she had more stamina than all of us put together. Impressive, even if her job requires her to be fit. Madonna has never been liked by everyone - her natural ability to polarize has been the fuel of her career. She definitely gets my vote for marching to her drum, whatever the music is. In any society, women always bash women that seem to break the rules, while men stand up by whatever middle age, fat and balding, sleezy poster boy with pride. Just saying.
