Madonna makes an interesting contrast with her eccentric style featuring one pants leg tucked into an argyle sock, alongside her actors in period fashions from the 1930’s. She’s become a familiar sight on the streets of London where she’s filming much of her Duke of Windsor/Wallis Simpson movie “W.E.” Oops, and here comes Lourdes – featuring an equally unusual bottom half.
Madonna and Lourdes’ Material Girl clothing collection debuted at Macy’s in New York and it’s a hit. Girls and women mobbed the store at opening time and the Material Girl department was jampacked. Free cupcakes with sprinkles were served and Madonna music played nonstop, but both designers are apparently still in Europe. Official Material Girl spokes model Taylor Momsen gave a free concert in the store the same evening. Mothers were thrilled with the $12 to $40 price tags and daughters stocked up. It’s a large and continuously changing collection – where will Lourdes and Madonna find the time?
Madonna has officially declared that baggy pants are IN so don’t even think about investing in any more skinny jeans. She just checked into the Ritz Hotel in Paris and Lourdes, David, and Mercy arrived soon after. Madonna is one of few directors that are targeted by paparazzi even more than her actors. She is in the hat on the W.E set at a dock in France calling the shots. We hope that Mercy writes a book someday.
Madonna’s almost 14 year old daughter Lourdes is well on her way to becoming a fashion icon for her age group. The editor of Teen Vogue says their readers are OBSESSED with Lourdes’ style – “she’s gorgeous, she’s cool, and she has her mother’s rebellious spirit.” Lola travels a lot and represents multicultural style – she is the creative force behind Macy’s new MG collection (Material Girl.) Macy’s is devoting 4000 sq ft of their NY flagship store to her collection which retails from $12 to $40. The store is trying something they’ve never done in their 152 year history- they will be stocking new Material Girl pieces on a daily basis to compete with fast fashion retailers like H&M and Forever 21. THAT’S how much they believe in Lourdes! It premiers August 3.
Madonna has a habit of popping up on various street locations around London as she directs her first feature film W.E. This week she used a Kensington pub as a location and was seen yelling orders to her film crew on the street. Insiders say she is determined to prove she can succeed in her ex-husband Guy Ritchie’s profession and deliberately chose a script about two strong women. Fourteen year old Lourdes couldn’t be happier about spending the summer in London instead of her usual favorite New York, because she has small role in the movie and will make her film debut.
Madonna’s daughter Lourdes (AKA Lola) has been accepted into The High School of Performing Arts in New York and her artistic talents are already blossoming. Lola and her mother are collaborating on a fashion line called “Material Girl” aimed at 13 to 25 year olds, set to premier at Macy’s this fall. Madonna says Lola is doing most of the design work while she covers the business end. The collection of clothing and accessories will be sensibly priced at $12 to $40. As you can see above, Lola is prone to “borrowing” things from her mother’s closet.
Madonna’s adopted daughter Mercy is clearly adapting quickly to the good life in New York. Note the Stella McCartney band jacket she’s wearing. She and her sister Lourdes show a real sense of style on a recent family outing to the Kabbalah center. Surprisingly, Madonna was questionably attired in an Ed Hardy hat and Shirt.
There are a few significant things to point out in this photograph of Madonna taking her family to a Kabbalah meeting in London. First of all, four year old Mercy has become a Kabbalah regular, proving you are never too young for this type of brainwashing. Secondly, Madonna appears to be wearing a high-rise girdle or waist cincher over her sweater. Interesting outfit. Third, Lourdes is now taller than her mother, who is wearing high heels.
Lourdes Leon, who’s just about to turn 13, loves being in New York with her father Carlos and she seems to be getting along great with his blonde girlfriend. Lourdes will not have her mother Madonna’s gap tooth smile – she has braces on her teeth. She does, however, have her mother’s eclectic style.

We pity Carlos Leon’s girlfriends when Lourdes is around. Daughters are notoriously critical of their father’s female companions and we’re guessing Lourdes is outspoken like her mother Madonna. The three of them seem reasonably friendly in this photo taken in Soho. Gum chomping Lourdes seems to be possessive of her father and positions herself between the twosome.
