As she told Anderson Cooper, “We have created this platform to give people around the world an opportunity to answer the question: ‘What does freedom mean to you?’ “

Madge looks amazing in this Terry Richardson shoot for Harper’s Bazaar. Metallic embellishments, leather, and with plenty of highly-accessorized edge, places her at the top of her throne. She can’t stop, she won’t stop.
