Madonnahas never been one to conform, and the racy look she donned at the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in the Age of Technology” Met Gala was no exception.
The pop legend wore a Givenchy ensemble that left little to the imagination from the front and the back, and tons of people had much to say about it online.
“We have fought and continue to fight for civil rights and gay rights around the world,” the then 57-year old wrote on asince-deleted post on Instagram. “When it comes to women’s rights we are still in the dark ages. My dress at the Met Ball was a political statement as well as a fashion statement.”
“The fact that people actually believe a woman is not allowed to express her sexuality and be adventurous past a certain age is proof that we still live in an age-ist and sexist society,” she continued. “I have never thought in a limited way and I’m not going to start. We cannot [a]ffect change unless we are willing to take risks.”
