Madonna Rips Off Marilyn Monroe Yet Again, This Time for “V” Magazine October 2021
Posted Sunday, October 31, 2021
So, Madonna ripped off Marilyn Monroe’s aesthetics yet again, this time for “V” magazine. Some of the photos from the spread were shared on either V magazine’s social media or on Madonna’s social media.
This is not the first time Madonna has copied Marilyn Monroe:

Madonna Regularly Ripped Off Marilyn Monroe
Not only did Madonna copy Marilyn’s “look” yet again, for the one billionth time since the 1980s, but she apparently made allusions to Marilyn Monroe’s death scene (Marilyn Monroe died at her home in Brentwood, California in 1962; there are photos of it one can find online).
Thankfully, Madonna has received criticism for this distasteful act. Below, some links about this:
(Note: it’s not “homage,” Ripping off another celebrity numerous times for over three decades, as Madonna has done with Monroe, far surpasses “paying homage” to straight up “stealing.”)
At some point, Madonna’s photographer is interviewed about this shoot, and he mentions that Madonna was fascinated by the fragility of Marilyn Monroe – what a bunch of garbage!
When called out by an interviewer in the 1980s about her theft of Marilyn’s image, Madonna grouchily snapped at the reporter that “Marilyn Monroe was a victim; I’m not,” or something like that. Madonna obviously feels that Marilyn’s fragility was a shameful thing to be scorned or put down.
Madonna’s photos for this shoot were retouched or airbrushed almost beyond recognition!
Thanks to all the Photoshop touching up, and due to her cosmetic surgeries, where her face is so stretched, she now looks like an alien from outer-space, so Madonna looks even less like Marilyn Monroe in these 2021 photos than she did when she was at her height of Marilyn-copying in the 1980s and early 1990s!
Madonna Dragged for Recreating Marilyn Monroe Death Scene

Madonna is being called to the carpet over “gross and inappropriate” photos recreating the scene of Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 death for a new photo shoot.
“For some morbid and eerie reason, Madonna decides to re-create Marilyn Monroe’s death bed,” wrote one of many critics who took issue with the the shots, with another responding, “Yuck. Gross and inappropriate.”
In her new V Magazine cover shoot, the 63-year-old channels the iconic blonde bombshell in heavily retouched photos shot by photographer Steven Klein.
The spread was inspired by Bert Stern’s “The Last Sitting,” the final photoshoot Monroe sat for just six weeks before her untimely death at the age of 36.
