Madonna could scarcely be recognized in the latest jaw-dropping suite of age-defying photos she posted to her Instagram page.
The 68-year-old's makeup and voluminous blonde hairdo had an air of Pamela Anderson, 59, about them as she posed for the new images.
One snapshot allowed her to showcase her enviably toned physique to full advantage in a clinging scarlet jumpsuit as she strolled down a hallway.
In a behind-the-scenes glimpse from a recent photoshoot, the Queen of Pop slid her statuesque frame into a nude bodysuit and black lace corset.
'Paint me with your memory, and not with your eyes…….,' she wrote alongside her new album, which also featured close-ups of her astonishingly smooth complexion.
Admirers flooded into the comments bubbling with praise for the pictures, including her fellow popstar Ricky Martin, who gushed: 'Yessss.'

Julia Garner, whom Madonna handpicked to play her in a planned self-directed biopic that eventually fell through because of a budgetary dispute, squealed: 'Wow!!!!'
Madonna's latest post comes two weeks after the MTV Video Music Award (VMA) nominations were announced and she emerged as the artist with the most nods.
The Material Girl is in competition for a staggering 11 prizes, narrowly beating out Taylor Swift, who has nods in nine categories.
Swift, 36, and Beyonce, 44, are currently tied as the most decorated artists in the history of the VMAs, each with 30 gongs to their name.
Inasmuch as Beyonce has no nominations this year, all Swift has to do is win a single prize in order to become the reigning record-holder, via the Associated Press.
Madonna famously performed at the first-ever VMAs in 1984, bursting from a gigantic wedding cake while dressed in a bridal gown for a rendition of Like A Virgin.
