6 of Madonna and Lourdes Leon’s most iconic twinning fashion moments: from Burberry and Tom Ford events, to homages to ‘Like a Virgin’ and the Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra at the Grammys
- Lourdes Leon, Madonna’s daughter, shines with her own unique style at Burberry and Tom Ford events – and has channelled some of her mum’s most recognisable fashion looks over the years
- Looking just like her pop star mum in a 2009 ‘Like a Virgin’ tribute as a teen, Lourdes more recently referenced the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra with a glittering Area gown at the 2023 Grammys
Celebrity offspring are always a hot topic in Hollywood tabloids, but few names draw as much attention as Lourdes “Lola” Leon. Born to pop icon Madonna and personal trainer and actor Carlos Leon, Lourdes has grown up under the intense glare of the public spotlight – yet, far from being overshadowed by her mother’s colossal fame, she’s found a way to emerge as a force in her own right.
Her personal style, a mix of edgy and vintage, often garners attention, making her a trendsetter in her own right. Notwithstanding the inevitable association with her mother’s legendary status, Leon has strived to establish her own identity. At 27, she is a model, dancer, pianist and designer.
Still, her mother is an important source of inspiration – including when it comes to her impeccable fashion sense. Here, we explore some of Madonna and Leon’s top mother-daughter style moments.
1. Like a virgin – again
In a video teaser for Madonna’s third greatest hits album, 2009’s Celebration, Leon channelled her mother’s iconic “Like a Virgin” look to striking effect. Dressed in a white wedding gown with a veil and donning bright red lipstick, the almost-13-year-old was the spitting image of Madonna in her youth.
