Madonna took to Instagram to share a new photo of her adopted twins Esther and Stella on February 21 .
The picture shows the four-year-old girls rocking matching black and gold tracksuits , and coordinating bow headbands .
" Today ' s Blessing brought to you by Adidas ," the 58-year-old singer wrote alongside .
The superstar confirmed that she had welcomed the twins into her family earlier this month , with a photo showing her holding hands with Esther and Stella .
" I can officially confirm I have completed the process of adopting twin sisters from Malawi and am overjoyed that they are now part of our family ," she told her fans .
" I am deeply grateful to all those in Malawi who helped make this possible , and I ask the media please to respect our privacy during this transitional time ."
Madonna has previously adopted two children from Malawi – David Banda in 2006 , and Mercy James in 2009 .
The Like a Prayer singer is also a mother to two biological children – Lourdes Leon , her 20-year-old daughter from her relationship with Carlos Leon , and Rocco Ritchie , her 16-year-old son from her marriage to Guy Ritchie .
On Saturday night , the proud mum-of-six shared a video of Stella and Esther singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with her 8.8 million Instagram followers .
" A little night music ," she captioned the clip , along with a star emoji .
The proud mum previously posted a video of the sisters singing together
News of the twins ' adoption came as a shock to fans . Just last month , Madonna categorical denied she was involved in an adoption application in Malawi .
