Madonna has once again sparked speculation that she may have undergone a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) or had butt implants.
The 67-year-old raised eyebrows with her voluptuous curves while delivering a lingerie-clad performance for Gay Pride in New York on Thursday.
Fans couldn’t help but notice that the Material Girl’s backside is now rather bulbous, despite her legs and waist still being slim.
Old photos of the star taken throughout the first several decades of her career show her with a much more petite behind, even when she was at her most fit and muscular back in the early 2000s.
Social media was ablaze with speculation following the performance, with one person writing, ‘She looks good from the front, but what happened to her bum?’
‘Now why would Madonna go and get a BBL? It looks like a diaper!’ wrote another.

Madonna has never confirmed or denied getting a BBL, instead chalking the conversation around her appearance down to ‘ageism and misogyny’.
But that hasn’t stopped people from speculating, with rapper 50 Cent even accusing the pop legend of getting a ‘bad BBL’.
Fans first wondered if Madonna may have had butt implants after she flaunted her changing shape during a handful of performances back in 2019.
Daily Mail has contacted Madonna’s representative for comment.
In addition to shocking fans with her unexpected curves, Madonna also sent jaws dropping following a dangerous stunt in Times Square.
The death-defying moment happened while the 67-year-old was performing at her surprise Pride concert on a stage that was elevated high above the audience.
A clear railing was placed at the edge, presumably for safety reasons – but the songstress daringly swung one leg over the protective barrier.
In a dizzying shot on the livestream, her global viewership could see Madonna suspended above the crowd, partly onstage and partly dangling over the rail.

Should celebrities be criticized for changing their appearance, or is it their right to do as they please?
Fans breathlessly shared their reactions to X, where one exclaimed: ‘Madonna, no, don’t!’
Dressed in pink and blue corsetry and a set of thigh-high boots, Madonna performed a selection of records from her upcoming album Confessions II.
Her setlist consisted of the new songs I Feel So Free, Bring Your Love, Love Sensation, Get Together, I Love New York and Hung Up.
She was also accompanied onstage by English DJ Stuart Price, whose history with her dates back to her original Confessions on a Dance Floor album in 2005.
Price is also serving as a producer on Confessions II, which is slated for release on July 3, the same day Taylor Swift is reportedly marrying Travis Kelce.
Madonna previously confronted criticism about her appearance in a lengthy Instagram post hitting out at ‘ageism and misogyny.’
She complained that we live in a ‘world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45 and feels the need to punish her if she continues to be strong willed, hard-working and adventurous.’

The star continued, declaring that she wasn’t about to start apologizing for ‘any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start.’
At the time, the Like a Prayer singer said that while she felt she has been ‘degraded’ since her earliest days of fame, ‘I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.’
Earlier this week, Madonna put on a daring display in a racy video she posted to kick off Pride Month.
In a racy video shared to Instagram, the Like a Virgin icon suffered a wild nip slip which she had to censor with a black bar in order to comply with the app’s strict content rules.
In the video, Madonna was smoking and crawling around on the ground as her cleavage spilled out of her top.
‘You know what, see a f***ing boob,’ she said nonchalantly before getting up close to the camera to blow a kiss. ‘Happy Pride! Happy Pride.’
