Madonna left social media in a frenzy on Monday after she shared a dramatic video showing her wearing a lingerie. Unlike her sleek, very edited images, the pop star defied her usual by presenting a more natural face with subtle makeup. She swapped her dramatic signature filters and bold eye looks for a natural smokey eye, subtle eyeliner, and pink lipstick.
In the video, she crawled on the floor and took off her coat in a playful tease. This was not the first time that Madonna stirred controversy with sultry content, as just a few weeks prior, she posted a steamy bedroom shot in a tiny black dress with transparent sleeves and a revealing neckline.

Madonna used the attention-grabbing video to confirm that she was going to re-release her 1994 album Bedtime Stories. She went on with the message that there would be a special edition, Bedtime Stories: The Untold Chapter, soon to be released on vinyl. The anniversary edition reportedly consists of unreleased songs and early demos from the creation of the album.
Bedtime Stories, which was originally released in 1994, was a departure from Madonna’s previous work, Erotica, which had caused controversy for its explicit themes. This album was softer and more romantic but still had its sensual edge.
Fans react to Madonna’s unfiltered video
Madonna’s appearance got fans talking, with most people praising her appearance and the significance of her album’s return. One person showed excitement, stating, “I love all M’s eras, but ‘Bedtime Stories’ is one of my favorites for sure: the looks, the symbols, the music… The album is such a gem I can listen to it over and over again and never get sick of it.”
Another appreciated the artwork on the album cover, saying it was absolutely stunning. “The surrealistic ‘Bedtime Stories’ video and ‘Secret’s’ video with a blend of classic vintage Hollywood and the modern are works of art all time,” they said.
