MADONNA celebrates her 60th birthday today. We’ve curated the iconic Queen of Pop’s best pictures in honour of her milestone birthday.
The Queen of pop Madonna turns 60 today.
The American singer, born Madonna Louise Ciccone, celebrates her milestone 60th birthday on August 16.
Michigan-born Madonna moved to New York 40 years ago to find fame and fortune and has never looked back.
The iconic pop star has a huge string of hits to her name dating back to the eighties when she shot to fame with her first chart-topping track Holiday.
Best-selling songs, Like A Virgin, Lucky Star and Material Girl quickly followed, earning the singer global success around the world.
Madonna still holds the record for the most combined number ones on the American Billboard charts.
Not one to rest on her laurels, the Material Girl has created 13 studio albums over the decades including Bedtime Stories, Ray of Light and MDNA.
Ever the style chameleon, Madonna is a pro at re-invention and is often seen on the red carpet of the most stylish events.
From white lace wedding dresses and her classic 80’s signature look to shocking sheer lace at this year’s Met Gala.
The singer and actress is famous for her shocking escapades - first with the release of her fifth album Erotica in 1992 which coincided with the launch of her coffee table book Sex which featured explicit pictures of the star.
Queen of pop Madonna even turned her hand to acting, most notably in Desperately Seeking Susan and 1996’s Evita which she won a Best Actress Golden Globe Award.
She also scooped an Oscar for best original song for You Must Love Me from the film.
As well as her acting and on stage antics, the 60-year-old is mother to; Lourdes, 21, who she had with Carlos Leon; Rocco Ritchie, 17, who’s father is Madonna’s ex-husband Guy Ritchie; and adopted children David Banda, 11, Mercy James, 11, and four-year-old twins Esther and Stella.
The mother-of-six shows no signs of slowing down as she celebrates her 60th birthday.
