Madonna has taken inspiration from Katy Perry by posing naked on social media in order to encourage American citizens to vote in the forthcoming presidential election.

The 58-year-old icon shared a topless selfie on her Instagram and Twitter pages one day after Perry appeared in the nude in a viral video as she attempted to "change the world".

While Perry attempted to boost the number of people registering to vote in the election - which will see Republican candidate Donald Trump go up against the Democratic Party's Hillary Clinton - Madonna used her posts to back one person in particular.

Along with her photograph, she wrote:

"Im voting naked with Katy Perry!! Vote for Hillary."

"She's the Best we got! Nude Voting series # 1 (sic)."

This followed another social media post in which the singer superimposed a picture of her onstage with Clinton.

It comes as Madonna celebrated the 11th birthday of son, David, last week complete with a Donald Trump pinata.

Perry, who is also a prominent Clinton supporter, kickstarted the unofficial naked movement with her video, posted on comedy website Funny Or Die on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old star explained that she wanted to use her body as "click bait" in order to get people to polls ahead of the election on November 8th.
