Has Madonna gone too far with chainmail Muslim mask?

Madonna poses in a chainmail niqab for a photoshoot with US Harper's Bazaar.

The Queen of Pop is at it again. Madonna loves touting a gun or wearing fishnets and spandex at an age when most of us prefer to cover up.

But her latest outfit is more controversial still. She has been pictured wearing a chainmail mask resembling a niqab - a face veil worn by Muslim women.

The star posted a photo from her forthcoming photoshoot with Harper's Bazaar magazine on Instagram and Facebook, accompanied by the words: "The Revolution of Love is on…Inshallah [Arabic for 'God willing']."

It is unclear what message Madonna, who is well known for her humanitarian work with women in developing countries and as an exponent of the Kabbalah religion, meant to send via her new look.

Some fans have interpreted the chainmail mask as a message of empowerment to women, but one Instagram user said: "You thing this message is empowering to women?...If this was a woman who really wanted to empower other females she could do this in many other ways…When did gagging women make them feel good?"

Other fans have suggested that Madonna's chainmail mask is a direct criticism of the oppression suffered by women in some Islamic countries.

Bill Paul Buttuls wrote on Facebook: "Are you saying the burqa is 'trapping' women?" while Ccim Le Bon commented: "Burqa covers even the eyes…and this is the NIQAB…the message is not clear…what do you mean queen?"

While the majority of fans posted positive comments about the outfit, and the odd joke about the Queen of Pop raiding Lady Gaga's wardrobe, others found the photograph "disappointing" and " reductive

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not the best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”.
