Taking to her Instagram Stories on February 9, Madonna continues her campaign of edgy self-defiance in the face (pun unintended) of haters. Clearly feeling her look of ripped jeans and a denim jacket (à la French brands Vetements and Matières Fécales), the singer served followers a series of über-“Vogue”-y poses as her famous track “Sorry” played in the last Story, per Page Six. As the icing on the fashionista cake, Madonna also captioned, word-by-word across the four photos, “Most … definitely … not … sorry.” (Hmm, we wonder what she’s addressing there.) As she stated firmly in her February 7 Instagram post, responding to discussion over her appearance at the Grammys, “I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start.”

The “Like a Virgin” songbird also decried society in her post for refusing “to celebrate women past the age of 45.” This remark itself solicited many Twitter replies, with one user’s counterpoint reading, “Madonna is the one who refuses to celebrate women over 45 by trying to constantly look 25 when she’s almost 65.” The queen of pop had her defenders on social media, as well. As one fan pointed out, male public figures rarely face scrutiny for cosmetic enhancements they have had done. “Let Madonna be Madonna. ‘Rocky’ Stallone is full of fillers and nobody says anything,” they wrote.
