Sky Ferreira's Madonna-Inspired V Magazine Editorial (Exclusive Photos)

HuffPost Social Reading

Madonna never ceases to inspire, so it's no surprise that V magazine's music-themed issue features an editorial inspired by none other than the material girl herself. While Justin Bieber may have landed the magazine's cover, 19-year-old Sky Ferreira steals the show in these stunningly accurate photographs shot by Mario Testino. Who better to fill Madonna's iconic shoes than music's new it girl? "Madonna inspires me to be strong, fearless, and smart," Ferrera says, "She's more than just sexy, or someone with good songs, she's the type of woman I want to be."

Check out our exclusive images from Sky Ferreira's editorial in this month's Vmagazine.com:

I am sure she is a pretty girl (hard to tell under such a strong makeup), but she looks nothing like Madonna and she should consider herself VERY lucky that she got to work with Mario Testino, one of the world's best fashion/glamour photographer. I agree though with her view of Madonna, a great female icon for sure.

What a nice homage.

Madonna was always a beautiful woman until she started messing with her face in her later years. Leave well enough alone and maybe just do a face lift, but no fillers...they only look horrible and puffy, not flattering.
Who is this person? If she is 19, why is she without clotes in her photos??? Who is her guardian?? She is a minor and allowed to pose without clothes? She is not pretty at all, just a lot of makeup. What does she do, sing/act?
Unfortunately, another wanna be with no direction and path of her own. What a pity, this generation has no originality.

Nice, but just another "wanna-be"! Why do we always seem to wait until a legend is no longer with us to admire/adore them? Madonna is one of the few "living legends" with us today. Let us celebrate her contribution to culture/music/entertainment/fashion/LIFE....while she's still here. Instead, we build them up, just to....tear 'em down!! This year will prove once again....you CANNOT write this one off. 2012 will be the year of Madonna. So, sit back, watch, listen and learn....from the "QUEEN"!! Appreciate what we've got and what she's done BEFORE she's gone. I couldn't imagine life (at least mine) without her. AND, I'm not even a fan....but I play one on t.v....LUV

Beautiful spread. But I thought Lana Del Rey or someone else was the newest "It Girl" for what passes as rock. How confusing.
01:09 PM on 01/07/2012
I think she is prettier than Madonna ever was.
10:57 AM on 01/07/2012
Preaty, but I like the original better.

Madonna's only true talent is marketing. I'll give her kudos for taking lessons and using coaches to make her voice and dancing the best they could be. She busted her butt too, talk about a worker. BUT she'll never be known as a great vocalist and her dancing is good but never great. Marketing, that woman knows better than some CEOs of major corporations. Unfortunately the only thing she really ever used to sell her music was her sex. While many enjoy that a lot of what she did had no class at all. I always found it unfortunate that any young girls wanted to be like her. I can understand wanting the type of fame she achieved but I just wish that young girls didn't think they have to use their sex to get ahead.

"Sexy Photo Spread".....Probably the most unsexy pictures I've seen all week.
07:50 AM on 01/09/2012
i agree. I look better first thing in the morning.

There's always going to be comparisons, reinventions, and admirations. I think it's great this girl (whom I'd never heard of until now) is drawn to Madonna's influence on music and culture. I view it as complimentary, not replacement. She's just expressing her admiration in a pictorial. Thrilled to see Mario Testino capturing it. He's photographed Madonna hundreds of times, in stunning artistic excellence.
This girl is pretty--dimples and great features. A couple of poses reminded me of Madonna somewhat, but I think the point was to showcase her love of an icon, not show a desire to overshadow it.

Madonna reminds me of this girl named Amanda Whelan who peddles Child pornography and stalks people all over the Internet.

I like Sky, she is cute as a bugs ear too -- but I don't get trying to make her Madonna. Let her be Sky.

Madonna always wanted to be the sex queen. all she ever did was make a crude stab at it.
