Madonna Causes Controversy By Wearing Chain Mail Veil

Madonna has given us a sneak peek at her photo shoot with Harper's Bazaar, and she posted the picture above on Facebook and wrote, “The Revolution of Love is on…Inshallah.”

Madonna models what appears to be a metal niqab, which is a facial covering worn by many women in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula including as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the UAE.

While some fans have interpreted the photo as a message of empowerment to women across the world, others are slamming her for the picture, saying that she has no business making a statement about this.

But c'mon ... this is the woman who wore a "Defend Paris" sweatshirt last month and was slammed for promoting gun violence via her apparel and the opening act of her concert tour ... A little controversy is nothing new for the Queen of Pop!
