Madonna, 63, looks VERY different without filters... as she performs Like A Prayer on church steps at midnight in NYC
Madonna looked dramatically different to her Instagram persona as she took to the streets of New York City on Friday night to lead a choir singing Like A Prayer.
It's becoming an increasingly rare sighting to see the Queen of Pop outside of her heavily-filtered appearances on social media.
While the 63-year-old star often appears flawless and younger than her years on the social media app, in real-life she is more age appropriate.

It comes after Madonna raised eyebrows as she flashed her bottom and gyrated on Jimmy Fallon's desk during a 'trainwreck' interview on Thursday.
The singer appeared on the show to plug her documentary, but left the host astounded when she soon rose from her seat and slid herself across his desk.
The bizarre segment began when Jimmy asked Madonna what she hoped viewers would get from her film, to which she responded: 'Art is important in our lives. I don't think people emphasize that enough. I'm really inspired by James Baldwin, the writer.'

Madonna continued: 'He was a great source of inspiration for the show, and one of the things I quote over and over again in the show is that artists are here to disturb the peace.
'And so I hope that I have disturbed not only your peace this afternoon but people's peace while they watch the show. But I mean that in the best way.'
As Jimmy said, 'Oh, yeah, you get in good trouble,' Madonna suddenly rose from her seat and sprawled herself across the host's desk.
In a bid to protect the singer's modesty, Jimmy leapt up screaming 'No! Madonna! Stop it! I don't know what to do. Stop it right now,' before removing his jacket and placing it across Madonna's legs.
The cheeky singer then quipped, 'No one's gonna see anything, my god!' before turning round and hitching up her dress to flash her underwear to the audience.
