Madonna, 64, is chic in a black silk coat and quirky shades as she arrives at Grammys afterparty – after shocking fans with ‘unrecognisable’ onstage appearance
Madonna was spotted arriving at Mr. Brainwash Art Museum in Beverly Hills for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards afterparty on Sunday.
It comes after the Queen of Pop, 64, shocked fans with her ‘unrecognisable’ appearance after stepping onto the star-studded stage as a presenter earlier in the evening.
Madonna looked stylish as she arrived at the party in a long black silk coat which she wore with a pair of quirky dark shades.
She appeared to have changed from her on stage outfit and layered the coat over a pair of fishnet tights and strutted her stuff in knee-high black boots.
The Material Girl continued to flaunt her smooth visage and sculpted cheeks while styling her auburn locks into braids.
Making an entrance: Madonna, 64, was spotted arriving at Mr. Brainwash Art Museum in Beverly Hills for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards afterparty on Sunday
The True Blue hitmaker surprised the crowd with her jaw-dropping wrinkle-free look while introducing Sam Smith and Kim Petras as they prepared to sing their hit track, Unholy, which won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance during the ceremony.
The songstress, who recently announced her anticipated The Celebration Tour, additionally sent a heartwarming message to ‘all the little rebels’ and stated that their ‘fearlessness does not go unnoticed’ – but the attention quickly went to her ‘unrecognizable visage.’
The talented star, who is the recipient of seven Grammys herself, stepped onto the glitzy stage as she took on the role of presenter during the festivities.
She opted for a monochromatic look for the night, and donned a fitted, black jacket along with a long, black skirt that contained a thigh-high slit on the right side.
One fan wrote: ‘Madonna looking “refreshed” lol..’ while another wrote: So, I am just now watching the #GRAMMYs. Madonna doesn’t quite look like @Madonna to me.’
Another penned: ‘Madonna needs to stop with the plastic surgery and embrace the aging process. She’s nearly unrecognizable at this point.’
One fan added: ‘My gawd what has @Madonna done to herself? #GRAMMYs’ while another typed: ‘Madonna sorta looks like that singer that sang Vogue and other songs.’
Not a wrinkle in sight: It comes after the Queen of Pop, 64, shocked fans with her ‘unrecognisable’ appearance after stepping onto the star-studded stage as a presenter earlier in the evening

Strut: She appeared to have changed from her on stage outfit and layered the coat over a pair of fishnet tights and strutted her stuff in knee-high black boots
Madonna wore her locks parted in the middle, and styled into two separate braids that were pinned up on each side. Two smaller braids fell down in front of her face for an edgy touch.
As she addressed the audience while standing under a bright spotlight on the stage, the Frozen singer held a riding crop in her right hand.
To further accessorize her look for the special night, Madonna added a pair of cross-shaped earrings, and added an assortment of flashy rings on her fingers.
Her makeup was glammed up, and comprised of black mascara and a shimmering, smoky shadow as she flaunted her blonde-dyed eyebrows. She added a nude-colored tint to her lips for a finishing touch.
