Madonna finally grows up

At the age of 52, she’s turned her back on surgery, toyboys and fishnet tights

Madonna has given up trying to hold back the years

Madonna's famous for her ability to shock, but last week's snaps of the Material Gilr left us needing our jaw rewiring.

As she landed at Heathrow airport gone was the mutton-dressed-as-lamb wardrobe, the 3in-thick make-up over a surgically stationary face and the foetus boyfriend.

Instead, the 52-year-old mum of four looked... well, like a 52-year-old mum of four, with wrinkles, lines and kids in tow - and we hear daughter Lourdes, 14, is over the moon.

‘Madonna had a real "moment" after a recent visit to her New York surgeon,' says a family friend.

‘She came home with bruises and swelling from fillers and it occurred to her that she must look a fright to her kids.

‘The last thing she wants is to give Lourdes and Mercy [five] a complex about ageing.

'Lourdes spoke to her about it, worrying if she'd have to spend all that time on herself when she was older, and Madonna finally got it.'
