MADONNA has seemingly taken a leaf out of a fellow trendsetter’s style guide.
The pop music legend was captured preparing for her upcoming shows in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In the photos, Madonna, 65, performed on stage during sound checks at the Copacabana.
The star was surrounded by her dancers, who seemed to be giving it their all despite the lack of audience.
Madonna stood out from the younger artists, however, as she passionately waved the Brazilian flag around at the front of the stage.
The celebrity flaunted her figure in a mesh tee, on top of which she wore a lacy corset to emphasize her curves.
Madonna paired the look with tiny black shorts, baring her legs as she strutted her stuff in chunky boots.
If her outfit weren’t eye-catching enough, the singer took it to the next level with a bright yellow balaclava.
The ski mask covered her whole face, with small holes for her eyes and mouth.
Through the holes, glimpses of Madonna’s flawless makeup could be seen, while her braided hair peeked out from the bottom.
YE’S WAY?
Despite the uniqueness of Madonna’s look, one high-profile couple has been rocking the balaclava for weeks.
Kanye West, 46, and his wife Bianca Censori, 29, have made the unusual accessory one of their style calling cards.
Rap music star Kanye shared photos of his wife wearing a leather balaclava on Instagram back in January.
In one pic, Bianca was photographed looking somber as she posed in full makeup in the accessory, which is often linked to fetish gear.
The photo sparked fan concern that Kanye was using clothing to control or humiliate his wife, after months of Bianca wearing increasingly NSFW outfits.
Bianca isn’t alone in her headwear, however, with Kanye also frequently choosing to hide his face.

The musician often wears balaclavas on stage and in public, and even hid his full face – including his eyes- while at the Super Bowl with his wife.
FOREVER YOUNG
Although Madonna opted to hide her face in the accessory favored by Kanye, fans have recently gushed over her appearance.
Earlier this month, she posted close-up selfies while on the Miami leg of her tour.

In the photos, Madonna pouted at the camera while wearing a plunging tee and a sparkling bandana.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans were stunned by how young Madonna looked in the pics.
“Without Madonna we are lost, protect Madonna at all costs! She looks amazing,” one social media user praised.
“She looks not a day over 30 years old,” said a second.
