Madonna’s daughter Lourdes is the spitting image of her mother while hitting the red carpet in New York City.
Lourdes Leon, 27 — the eldest of Madonna’s six children — didn’t just share the pop icon’s whole face while posing on the carpet at MAC Viva Glam Billion Dollar Ball on June 12, she also channeled her mom’s classic ’80s glam with her entire look.
Lourdes rocked a leopard-print bodycon dress that she accessorized with a chunky necklace that appeared to resemble rosary beads that featured religious iconography. (Very Madonna.) The model let her lips do the talking by rocking an ombre red lip stain — which she outlined with brown pencil — while keeping the rest of her makeup simple and elegant: brushed brows and lightly lined eyes.

Madonna, 65, shares Lourdes with ex Carlos Leon. The “Material Girl” singer is also mom to son Rocco, 23, whom she shares with ex-husband Guy Ritchie; son David Banda, 18, daughter Mercy, 18, and twins Stella and Estere, 11.
Perhaps it’s no surprise that Lourdes walked her most recent red carpet in a very Madonna look — considering she’s been open about borrowing a few items from her mom’s wardrobe over the years. in fact, it reached the point where the “Like a Virgin” artist had to start putting her clothes under lock and key — literally.
“When she’s not in the house, [her closets] are locked tight, because I take everything I feel that I’m entitled to,” Lourdes shared with Interview Magazine in 2021.

As for Madonna’s impact on pop culture, Lourdes revealed that she has grown to appreciate not only her mom’s music, but also her entire work ethic.
“My experience with my mom’s music has changed so much as I’ve gotten older, because I’m increasingly able to recognize how influential and amazing this woman is, and how empowering to other women and ahead of her time she has always been,” she told Interview at the time. “I didn’t fully comprehend that until I realized the importance of empowerment and what it means to be a woman. She’s probably the hardest worker I’ve ever seen.”
