The 55-year-old songstress captioned the photo ‘The King And Queen’ alongside the memorial throwback.
The photo was taken back in 1991, at David Geffen’s birthday party.
Madonna is wearing a black and white polka-dot dress, and her cropped bright blonde tresses are pulled into a side-part.
Red lipstick accentuates her radiant face as she stands beside the famed pop star, who wraps an arm around her.
Michael wears a red button-up shirt and shields his face with dark sunglasses, with his curly black locks just nudging his shoulders.
The Like A Prayer singer slipped the hashtag ‘#iconic’ into the caption, after noting their respective labels - and not wrongly, either - as the King and Queen of Pop.
Madonna gave a touching tribute to Michael - who passed away tragically on June 25 of 2009 - during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, held in New York City.
