Singer Madonna drastically changed her image in honor of her mother, Louise

We present fresh photos of the artist, in which it is hard to discern the very performer of the hit "Hung Up"...

This time, the reason for Madonna's style change is special. On Instagram, the 66-year-old singer revealed that she is no longer a platinum blonde, as we are used to, but a real fiery brunette.

Moreover, this is not just a fashion experiment, but a personal story full of pain and tenderness.

"I missed my mother, so I dressed like her..." — the artist captioned the photo.

In the photo, Madonna is wearing a black top with white inserts and chains with small crucifixes around her neck. Her hair is thick, dark, and wavy. A wig, of course, but the look is so cohesive that it's not immediately apparent the hair isn't real.

The look is almost an exact replica of her mother, Louise Ciccone, who passed away in 1963.

At that time, Madonna was only five. Her mother died of breast cancer at 30, leaving behind six children. For the girl, it was a true tragedy, which she has spoken about in interviews.

"I had to grow up fast, understand what death is, and figure out psychology — it was all too much for a child," she recalled in the Sky documentary Becoming Madonna.
