With the 25th anniversary of Like a Virgin's release this month, this seems like the perfect time for a retrospective on Queen Madge, whose style has shaped the taste of at least two generations of women. Madonna's had a surfeit of different hair colors and cuts, and the best ones look as good now as they did 10 or even 20 years ago. Click through to take a look back at the Material Girl's best hair moments, and find out how to get the looks for yourself.

Want To Look Like Madonna, or at Least Have Skin Like Her?

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:10:00 -0800

Just like our bodies need oxygen to be healthy, our skin does too. Enter Michelle Peck, facialist to Madonna, Gwyneth, Jennifer Lopez, Molly Sims, Justin Timberlake and Eva Longoria (just to drop a few names). She started off as a masseuse, however, her career really began to take off when she connected with skincare brand Intraceuticals and began putting her own healing touch on their oxygen treatment called Intraceuticals Infusion.

Those who have experienced Michelle's work, just can't stay away, and I can understand why. After speaking with her at length, not only did I find her to be open, kind and warm, but she is also overflowing with depth, compassion and perspective. Her time spent with famous faces (ehem, she's been on two world tours with Madonna where she gave her a treatment before every single show) has not jaded her one bit. In fact, she is more concerned with the Earth, the human spirit and her charity of choice, Raising Malawi, than with outer beauty.

To learn about the technology behind Intraceuticals treatments, where you can get them in the UK, plus for more about my exclusive interview with Michelle, just read more.

Intraceuticals came to the US about six years ago from Australia and is now available in over 35 countries. Michelle decided to come on board with them and eventually become their spokesperson because she saw something unique in their technology. Never before has there been a brand that combines 95% hyaluronic acid (the connective tissue that keeps skin lubricated and cushioned aka, young looking) mixed with hyperbaric pressure (oxygen under pressure) and 5% of vitamins A, C, E, aloe vera and green tea extract.

Keep in mind that plumping products/treatments like restylane and juvederm are forms of hyaluronic acid, but, you need to inject them into the skin because of the large-sized molecules. However, combined with the hyperbaric pressure, the Intraceuticals molecules are small enough to be driven into the skin with a machine that looks like an airbrush gun.

The entire treatment takes about an hour and are recommended to be done in a series of six every seven to ten days. After that, monthly maintenance is suggested. Sessions with Michelle are £325 each, but can go as low as £150 with other estheticians. Celebrities are so passionate about these treatments because there's no redness afterward, so you can put makeup on within 15 minutes. The end results are instant, but long term results are even better as it helps to minimize pores, tighten, firm, and hydrates the skin at the deepest level. Hey, if Madonna has been a fan for over four and a half years, there must be something to this! And if you want what Madge is having, ask for the Rejuvenation Treatment.

You must travel so much for work, how do you keep your skin looking good? I love serums because they penetrate deeper into my skin than creams.
What's your advice for keeping your skin young and healty? I'm big on staying out of the sun. Some of the most damaged skin I've seen in the world is sun damaged skin. I also use my treatment on the hands, necks and chest.
What's your favourite product? The Opulence Line Wand is great for under eye circles, and the Clarity Line Wand helps dry out blemishes really well.
What other skin care products does Madonna use? Atoxlelene Wand, Eye Gel and Blue Hydration Gel (which is rich in hyaluronic acid). The products support the treatments, but they aren't meant to replace your favourite product line. You can use whatever products you like in addition to ours.
What's your philosophy on beauty? Beauty truly comes from within. I'm very involved in Madonna's charity, Raising Malawi and have been to Malawi often. I find that helping others brings you personal happiness and inner beauty.

Where To Find Intraceuticals Treatments in London:
Although it's not the same as meeting Michelle in person, you can get Intraceuticals treatments at Beauty Works West, Fabiola Face Spa (on the King's Road), The Chelsea Day Spa.

The Stars Party in Honor of Marc Jacobs and Fashion

PopSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 07:45:25 -0700

Marc Jacobs drew his usual star-studded crowd at NY's Fashion Week last night to show off his latest collection. Madonna and Lady Gaga, neither of whom were apparently specifically invited to the show, both arrived late and sat in the front row. They posed together for the cameras, fresh off taking the stage at the VMAs on Sunday. Lindsay Lohan changed out of her short dress into a sexy gown for the afterparty at Club Hiro, where Mischa Barton joined her for the festivities. Jared Leto and Rachel Zoe also attended the events as Hollywood supported one of their favorite designers.

VMAs Bring Kanye's Drama, New Moon, MJ Love and More!

Molly — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 23:55:00 -0700

The MTV VMAs brought its share of drama last night - some amazing performances, a heartfelt Michael Jackson tribute, and a huge moment that had everyone talking - it was a show that will go down in history. Check out all the winners here! The biggest story of the night was Kanye West making a scene when Taylor Swift won Best Female Video, but thankfully it all ended well when Beyonce Knowles sweetly called her up onto the stage to have her moment and he apologized profusely. The night was dedicated to Michael Jackson and kicked off with a touching tribute from Madonna and a performance including his sister Janet. The other big moment came when Kristen Stewart debuted her hot short haircut on stage with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner to debut another New Moon trailer - watch it here.

Eminem was also a big winner for the night, walking away with a Moonman and participating in some funny sketches with Tracey Morgan. Lady GaGa had countless costume changes and a performance that left her hanging covered in fake blood. We loved seeing Jay-Z finish off the night with Alicia Keys as well as Pink's trapeze act and Beyonce's big group "Single Ladies." In case you missed any of the red carpet excitement, check out the men and women. Russell Brand's act is familiar after last year and we must admit we were happy to see Adam Brody on stage with Megan Fox to promote Jennifer's Body.

Guy Ritchie Still Loves Madonna, but Thinks She's "Retarded" - Interesting or Over It?

Molly — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:00:28 -0700

It's been almost exactly a year since Guy Ritchie and Madonna split and he recently talked about his ex wife during an interview with Esquire. Last week, Madonna called her marriage "the Bush years" and made jokes about all her subsequent romances.

Guy's been comparatively quiet about their divorce, but he opened up about his mixed feelings towards Madonna, revealing the fiercely competitive nature that drives her. He describes her saying:

"She's a manifester, if there ever was one. First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any twenty-three-year-old, she'll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them. The woman is broad. And, of course, here you go: I still love her. But she's retarded, too."

So what do you think about hearing what Guy has to say about Madonna - interesting or are you over it?

Madonna Implies J. Lo Copies Her - Plausible or Pretentious?

PopSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:00:00 -0700

Madonna paid a visit to David Letterman earlier this week, and yesterday she called in to chat with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. While she's not one to shy away from controversy, it seems like Madonna was actively trying to create drama when she implied that Jennifer Lopez tries to copy her. Of J. Lo's visit to one of her shows, Madonna said, "I was getting super-sharp looks from [Lopez] . . . . Whenever artists come to see my show, they're studying me." A diva fight could be just what Madonna needs to promote her upcoming album Celebration, but tell us what you think of Madonna's implication that J. Lo copies her - is it plausible or pretentious?

Say What? Madonna on Marriage

TresSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:00:51 -0700

"I think I'd rather get run over by a train."

- Madonna told David Letterman last night that she would rather get hit by a train than remarry. I guess we know we'll never see Madonna in a wedding dress again, unless she's performing "Like a Virgin." Last night, the Material Girl also described her eight-year marriage to Guy Ritchie as the "Bush years." Have you ever felt lucky to be out of a relationship?

Madonna Would Rather Be Hit by a Train Than Marry Again

PopSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:45:00 -0700

Madonna arrived at The Late Show yesterday with a smile, waving to the crowd assembled outside of Ed Sullivan Theater in NYC. She joked with Dave about all of her exes, referring to her marriage to Guy Ritchie as "the Bush years" and teasing Letterman for his A-Rod and Palin's daughter bit that Madonna said almost got him "arrested." When Dave asked the singer if she'd ever remarry, she replied, "I think I'd rather get run over by a train," putting to rest the wedding rumors for her and Jesus Luz. Madonna was also a good sport about going to an NYC pizzeria for the first time, where she drank a martini and ate a slice in front of her excited fans. Check out the video below.
