Madonna rings in the New Year with close friend Stella McCartney as the old pals party in St Barts wearing matching festive headbands
Madonna rang in the New Year with longtime best pal Stella McCartney at a lavish party in St Barts, in the French West Indies.
The Queen of Pop, 65, and the fashion designer, 52, seemed in high spirits as they posed wearing matching headbands with the words: 'Happy New Year'.
Madonna looked incredible in a black leather corset which she teamed with a lace neck piece and bold sunglasses.
Meanwhile, the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney looked incredible in a black halterneck dress.
Stella previously admitted she was anxious when she first met the Material Girl singer.

She said: 'I was running a bath and was totally unprepared. When she tried my clothes on, I told her she had a fat a**e. She laughed… and bought some.'
Over the years the friends have been spotted partying together and Stella was even maid of honour for Madonna at her wedding to Guy Ritchie in 2000 and designed her ivory strapless bridal gown.
Taking to Instagram, Madonna shared a gallery of snaps from the New Years celebrations as she also partied with her six children.
'Let me take you to a place I know you want to go / It's a good life,' Michigan-born Madge - who boasts 52.2M social media followers - wrote.
'Happy 2024!'
Madonna sported bizarre double-denim jeans with a black leather top as she rang in the New Year with a hug from her eldest child, daughter Lourdes Maria 'Lola' Ciccone Leon.
The seven-time Grammy winner posted a selfie that the 27-year-old singer took from a boat while clad in a black-lace catsuit and colorful head scarf.
On December 12, Chemical X Records released Lola's trippy electro cover of Judy Garland's 1944 song The Boy Next Door under her musical moniker 'Lolahol.'
Just like her famous mother, Leon - who used to date Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet - attended the University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre, and Dance from 2014-2018.

Madonna welcomed Lola during her two-year relationship with her former fitness trainer Carlos Leon, which ended in 1997.
The twice-divorced mother-of-six also posed with her son Rocco Ritchie, an expressionist painter whose art world moniker is 'Rhed.'
The 23-year-old Central Saint Martins alum lamented to Vanity Fair Spain in November: 'I'm very proud of my family and I don't deny where I come from, but I'm also tired of being judged even before I open my mouth and show what I do.'
On November 26, Madonna cheered Rocco on as he closed the exhibition Unveiled by photographers Luigi & Iango with a live artistic performance at the Appartamento dei Principi of Palazzo Reale in Milan.
The self-made superstar welcomed Ritchie during her eight-year marriage to her Swept Away director Guy Ritchie, which ended in 2008.
On January 22, Madonna will celebrate the 18th birthday of her daughter Chifundo 'Mercy' James Kambewa Ciccone, who wore a black-knit top with matching silky bottoms at the New Year's bash.
The two-time Golden Globe winner also made sure to pose with her 11-year-old twin daughters Estere and Stella Ciccone as well as her 18-year-old son David Banda Mwale Ciccone.
