Madonna, 65, makes rare unfiltered appearance as she showcases her smooth complexion and taut stomach while attending son Rocco Ritchie’s art exhibition in London

She is often seen on social media using a range of filters.

However, Madonna was showing her true self on Thursday night as she stepped out in London to attend her son Rocco Ritchie’s art exhibition with her children.

The Like A Virgin hitmaker, 65, who will kick off her 78-date Celebration tour at The O2 on Saturday night, looked sensational as she arrived at the event in a high-waisted bra with high-waisted trousers and fishnet gloves.

The six-year-old wore her bleach blonde locks in sleek straight lengths as she rocked a pair of futuristic wrap around black sunglasses.

Rocco, who she shares with ex Guy Ritchie, was showing her work at Frieze in the UK capital – something Madonna praised as “extraordinary”.

Madonna certainly looked stunning as she headed to the event in her typical bra and blazer look.

Adding her usual quirky touches, she accessorized with a pair of fishnet gloves with a chunky silver necklace and an M motif ring worn over the gloves.

She was joined at the event by her adopted son David Banda, 18, and Stella McCartney, as the trio posed up a storm at the festivities.

Also in attendance were Lourdes Leon, 26, her daughter with ex Carlos Leon, and her adopted daughter Mercy James, 17.

Stella looked sensational in a red coat with a black collar and matching black opaque tights as she stepped out of the event with the superstar.

Richie – who turns heads with his retro fashion sense – began his career aged 17 – studying at Central Saint Martins and the Royal School of Drawing, and his work now sells for five figures.

Rock’s secret life as an acclaimed artist was revealed last year by Page Six. His biography on the website of London’s Tania Baxter Contemporary gallery states: “Rhed is a young emerging artist whose cultural background is diverse and unconventional…

“His childhood was spent between New York and London which gave him an eclectic and varied artistic background…

“Societal conflicts such as social media obsession, celebrity and label fixation, and generational issues such as drug abuse and depression are themes he approaches in a coded way…

“It’s almost as if the artist is using the images to act as a spokesperson for the millennial generation that has overdosed on a toxic society.”
