No filter, no problem!
Madonna is turning heads on social media over rare, unedited photos taken at her 65th birthday celebration in Portugal on Wednesday.
The Queen of Pop’s close friend Maha Dakhil shared a series of party pictures via Instagram while keeping the filters to a minimum.
The first snap showed Madonna and Dakhil sitting next to each other and holding hands as they smiled at the camera.
In the social media upload, the “Material Girl” songstress wore the same black-and-white feathered outfit she showed off in a filtered Story selfie and TikTok video earlier that same day.
Dakhil, who holds a high position at the Creative Artists Agency (CAA), went on to post a second shot of herself walking slightly behind Madonna.
However, it’s unclear when that photo was taken as the pop star was rocking a floral dress rather than her birthday ensemble.
“Happy birthday to my dear sister, ‘a bride married to amazement’ Viva with that badass life force,” Dakhil wrote. “I cherish you.”
Several fans were quick to comment their support for the unedited look at Madonna, who often filters her own posts.
“Beautifull [sic] non filter picture ❤️❤️,” one fan commented, while another wrote, “GORGEOUS untouched photo! Love it ❤️❤️.”
For more Page Six you love…
A third user gushed, “you both look amazing.”
The “Vogue” singer rang in her milestone birthday less than two months after Page Six broke the news that she was rushed to a New York City hospital and intubated after being found unresponsive.
Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, later shared that his client had “developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.”
Shortly after her hospitalization made headlines, Madonna broke her silence and thanked her six kids — Lourdes, 26, Rocco, 23, Mercy, 17, David, 17, and twins Stella and Estere, 10 — via Instagram for supporting her throughout her recovery.
“Thank you for your positive energy, prayers and words of healing and encouragement,” she wrote at the time. “I have felt your love. I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life.”
