Madonna

SEEING THE 'LIGHT'

The new mom – and new devotee of Kabbalah – played it simple in a denim jacket, softly waved hair and now-omnipresent red-string bracelet in the video for "Ray of Light," the lead single off the like-titled 1998 album. "It's really great," she told Kurt Loder about her newfound religion. "The whole idea of cause and effect, for every action there's a reaction: It's like, you pull in what you put out, basically. If you want to have goodness in your life, you have to give it."
