Madonna’s Celebrates Birthday with Vogue

Jul 31, 2018 | 6:15 AM

Madonna moved to Lisbon, Portugal, a while back and now she’s opening up about her new life in that country in the pages of Vogue Italia.

She graces the cover of the August issue of the magazine, shown in a black-and-white photo wearing a hat and an off-the-shoulder dress, with the tagline, “Just one day out of life” – a lyric from her hit “Holiday.”

“We celebrate a legend, Madonna,” the magazine posted on Instagram. “Find out about the new life in Lisbon of the Queen of Pop.” Madonna was photographed for the issue by Mert & Marcus, with whom she’s worked before.

Photographer Mert Alas has also shared two images from the story: In one, Madonna’s striking a pose in a flower crown in the middle of a field. In another, she and her daughters Mercy, Stella and Esther, all wearing white, frolic in a garden labyrinth.

The issue of Vogue Italia hits newsstands August 3rd. Madonna turns 60 on August 16th.

Meanwhile, Madonna also announced the launch of a Facebook fundraiser in celebration of her upcoming birthday. The project will run through August 31st and benefit the superstar’s Raising Malawi foundation.

The partnership with Facebook and global payments company, Ripple, is set to raise funds for Malawi’s orphans and vulnerable children. With every contribution collected, 100% of it goes directly to Raising Malawi’s work at Home of Hope orphanage.

“I have an unwavering commitment to providing vulnerable children with a loving home. For my birthday, I can think of no better gift than connecting my global family with this beautiful country and the children who need our help most,” said Madonna. “Every dollar raised will go directly to meals, schools, uniforms and healthcare. I want to come together with my friends, fans and supporters to change the lives of Malawian children and let them know they are nurtured, protected and loved. Through their generous match, Ripple is doubling the impact each individual can make.”
