Madonna Turns 51 - Celebrities Less Than Half Her Age Still Steal Her Style

Last night, hours shy of turning a year older, the singer was serenaded by the audience at her controversial Warsaw, Poland Sticky & Sweet tour stop, reports the AP.
Concertgoers burst into the traditional Polish birthday tune "may you live a hundred years."
Today, as she officially blows out the candles on 50 -- likely in the company of a Brazilian male model or two -- we think it's fitting to shine the spotlight on her iconic fashion sense and its unwavering influence.
Take Lady Gaga, who might make headlines for her pants-off dance-offs, but it was Madonna who put performing in knickers on the map.
Madge's trailblazing contribution in solidifying the bustier as suitable stage wear is undeniable. The pointy bra will forever conjure up the image of this conical wonder (above right) worn on her Blonde Ambition tour in 1990. It paved the way for Gaga to shoot fireworks from her bust (above left).
Celebrities over the years just haven't been able to resist Xeroxing looks from Madonna's playbook and it's no wonder -- her chameleon-like ways have consistently been original, one-step ahead, and more than anything, provocative.
She spawned a world of wannabees and fellow celebrities are clearly no exception.
Happy Birthday, Madonna!

Working as an esthetician I always get people asking what they can do about their wrinkles and cellulite. For wrinkles I tell them about ResV Derm http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com and how it is an incredible anti-aging, anti-wrinkle cream that contains the most potent, doctor grade, wrinkle erasing ingredients that tone and tighten the skin for a smoother, younger face. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%. http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com
For cellulite problems I always recommend http://cli.gs/CelluliteSolutions a cellulite toning system that is clinically proven to smooth cellulite and firm in as little as 72 hours.

There is an amazing new weight loss system that really works AcaiSlim ( http://bestslimacai.info/ ) unlike many of the scam Acai diet products this one is packed with real ingredients that will help you lose weight. They not only gave me a free sample but they also have a 60 money back guarantee so I didn't have to worry about having to pay for anything that didn't work. I'm not going to tell you that it is a miracle worker but with moderate exercise I have been losing about 6 pounds a month. Be aware of some of the real scam products that promise you that you will lose more than 2 pounds a week because that isn't going to happen. I couldn't be happier with the results I've been getting and hope you will have the same results if you try it

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.

HAH! Madonna doesn't have an original idea in her head... she got all her fashion ideas from the waitresses at Max's and CBGB's back in the 70s!

Pardon me,"M", Seems you have the wrong decade. Madonna defined the trends in a decade known as the 80's! she was what every teenage girl emulated and the boys drooled over.
I believe the boys still do that.

Of course, this picture of Madonna sparks a barrage of moronic comments about dieting. Dieting and diet products DONT WORK! How can a person with a functioning brain think that is the best way to go.
Madonna WORKS for this body! And I will bet she is NOT using Acai berries or diet pills.
In fact, as lean as she is, she probably eats a lot! A lot of healthy foods.
If you are fat, face it; back away from the table. Don't even keep tempting treats in the house.
Here's a secret... workout with weights! Adult Humans lose a percentage of lean body tissue every year. Low lean (muscle) tissue = lower metabolism. Invest in this concept, it's real. Don't believe me? Then go to the gym and make an observation; treadmills are filled with overweight women. Why? It's easy and they don't have to feel uncomfortable learning to lift weights. Invest in some personal training sessions. It's safer and more comfortable to start out the right way.
As for Madonna; she is solid! In fact, she inspires me.
Sorry but I don't have a worthless link to sell products.
You have to just decide to work at personal improvement!
Shortcuts are short-lived.
