Madonna was worlds away from the glamorous looks that made her a global star as she wrapped herself in a scarf while leaving her hotel in Paris.
The Queen of Pop, 67, cut a dishevelled figure as she headed into the French capital on the first day of Fashion Week.
Hiding her all-black outfit, Madonna bundled up in the pale blue shawl and hide her face behind large sunglasses during the outing.
Earlier in the day, she’d been seen on a romantic stroll with her toyboy lover Akeem Morris after arriving in Paris.
Madonna first met the former college soccer player, 29, in August 2022, though their romance was not confirmed until nearly two years later.
On Monday, the loved-up couple were spotted out in the French capital, wrapping up warm as the autumn weather rolls in.

Madonna looked chic for the outing in a black suede wrap jacket featuring a huge fluffy collar, as well as ripped black jeans and chunky loafers.
Meanwhile Akeem sported a forest green roll neck top with a leather jacket and dark blue baggy jeans.
The singer made her relationship with Akeem public on Instagram last July when she posted photos of them cuddling up to one another on the social media platform.
They were thought to have separated in October 2024, only to reconcile just weeks after breaking up.
Earlier this year, Madonna sparked engagement rumours by flashing a diamond ring in an Instagram album, posted to wish her millions of fans a happy new year.
It comes after Madonna spoke candidly about the spiritual practices that have guided her through decades in the spotlight in a preview for her upcoming appearance in her first podcast appearance.
‘You need to be spiritual to be successful. Success is having a spiritual life, period. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have one,’ she said on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, obtained by People.
The pop icon explained that her journey began in the mid-1990s, shortly before welcoming her first child, Lourdes Leon, and that her discovery of Kabbalah in 1996 became a turning point in her life.
The music icon was a far cry from the racy looks that have made her one of the biggest artists in the world

‘What have I done for others? That’s really the only way you can be successful in life,’ she said, stressing that her purpose has always been to ‘reveal light in the world’ through her work.
‘I want it all, but I want it for the sake of sharing, not to keep it for myself,’ the seven-time Grammy winner stressed.
Madonna, who has long been celebrated for challenging norms and using her platform to advocate for human rights, admitted she has had to overcome deep challenges along the way.
‘I was once a slave or victim of other people’s opinions of me,’ she reflected.
But over time, she’s embraced her individuality and that she doesn’t ‘fit in.’
‘Not fitting in is what saves you,’ she told listeners.
In the wide-ranging interview, the mother-of-six emphasized how spirituality sustains her not during moments of triumph, but in times of hardship.
‘Spiritual wisdom is not helpful when everything’s going your way. It’s helpful when you’re challenged and when you’re happy,’ she explained.
She continued: ‘It’s helpful to remember that at any given time, in any moment, it could be gone. So don’t take it for granted. Have humility. Radical acceptance is just accepting that what is happening to you is meant to happen to you — and that you’re going to be okay.’
Later in the episode, Madonna was joined by her longtime Kabbalah teacher, Eitan Yardeni, as the two discuss their newly launched course, The Mystical Studies of the Zohar.
Kabbalah is a Jewish mystical philosophy and interpretive tradition.

It examines the symbolic and esoteric nature of God, creation, and the universe.
The word itself means ‘to receive.’
Its teachings draw on concepts such as the Sefirot (divine emanations) and the Tree of Life.
Together, these ideas are meant to help followers deepen their understanding of the divine and their relationship with God.
Madonna’s appearance on On Purpose with Jay Shetty marks her first-ever podcast interview.
