Madonna made a brief appearance at the 81st Annual Academy Awards this past Sunday … tho, she only did so away from the Kodak Theater where the awards show took place and popped up, instead, at a couple of afterparties. While all eyes were focused on her to see if she would be carting around her much younger boytoy Jesus Luz, celeb-watchers noted that Maddy was lookin’ fresh-faced and much younger than her 50 years:

A remarkably fresh-faced Madonna attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party last night – looking much younger than her 50 years. The recently divorced star revealed a glowing complexion – just days after being photographed with red raw, angry-looking skin. There had been speculation the mother-of-three had endured a beauty treatment ahead of the ceremony. She picked a floor-length black gown which showed off her toned arms and wore her hair in a casually tousled mane. And it certainly seems to have paid off – for Madonna looked even younger than she had at the Oscars two years ago. The Like A Virgin singer attended with her husband at the time, Guy Ritchie, again opting for a floor-length black gown. But the singer’s face looked visibly more lined back then. Madonna, who watched ex-husband Sean Penn pick up a gong for his performance in Milk, was perhaps making an extra effort to stand out in the wake of her divorce. In her new pursuit of all things young, the star is now dating 22-year-old Jesus Luz.
But, while Maddy was lookin’ really spectacular on Oscar night proper, it was quite a different story just a couple days before. After the jump, check out a very unfortunate photo of Madge lookin’, well, not her best …
Let me preface this next section by stating for the record, I LOVE MADONNA! I LOVE MADONNA! I LOVE MADONNA! That being said … YIKES!

In her Madgesty‘s favor, it should be noted that she’s only got a few hairs on her chinny, chin chin. Yikes! Not a good look, I’m afraid. Madonna might want to make sure she handles her biz better before she goes out in public. Facial hair works on someone like Hugh Jackman, Madonna … notsomuch.

To me, those look like capillaries highlighting some obvious chin/jaw work. She probably just had some dermabarsion that left the skin raw & veiny. And, C’mon, you think that’s a 50-yr-old jaw line? That’s one long, well-concealed scar, showing where any double-chin action has been nip-tucked and tidied.
