Madonna shows her support for the French with Le Coq cap as she exits The Kabbalah Centre in New York City

It seems Madonna was trying to mend fences with her French fans as she stepped out in New York City on Saturday.
The 56-year-old sported a baseball cap featuring Le Coq Gaulois, which is one of the national emblems of France.
This comes after the Revolution of Love singer caused controversy by using hashtags to promote her album in a social media post about the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.

Madonna caused quite a controversy on Wednesday when she shared a photo on her Instagram account which read: 'Je Suis Charlie (I am Charlie).'
However, what caused issue was her caption: 'These are very scary times we are living in. Ignorance breeds Intolerance and fear. We can only fight darkness with light! We are all Charlie! #revolutionoflove [heart] #rebelhearts'
Revolution Of Love is a track off her album Rebel Hearts, both of which she used as hashtags at the end of her post. 
Controversy: Many were upset when Madonna shared this post, along with captions pertaining to her new album, '#revolutionoflove' and '#rebelhearts'

Following the post, many online commentators accused Madonna of using the recent terrorist massacre, in which 12 people were killed in the gun attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo's Paris offices, to promote her album Rebel Heart.
Bustle's Maitri Mehta wrote: 'Madonna has been aggressive in the promotion for her new album, but I am surprised that she didn't realize — or no one advised her — that in the wake of such a senseless attack, self-promotion is definitely prohibited.' 
However, despite negative responses, Madonna has continued to heavily promote her album, posting a photo of Elvis Presley the following day, altered to look like her image on her new album.

Two days later the performer was spotted in New York wearing a hat emblazoned with an emblem of France, as she left The Kabbalah Centre.
In addition to her statement-making hat, Madonna bundled up in a long black leather jacket, with a fur-lined hood, which the performer pulled up around her face as she walked.
She also wore baggy maroon trousers, and a pair of black and white sneakers while out in the cold New York weather.
The singer hid her eyes behind a pair of sunglasses, and sported a pair of fingerless black leather gloves.
Resolute: Despite all of the controversy surrounding her actions, Madonna continues to promote her album on Instagram

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to  the Cut  about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy  publishes nude photos of  Madonna  taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star,  Playboy  publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner  Vanessa Williams , which their rival  Penthouse  published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
