Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon made her New York Fashion Week debut on Tuesday in an outfit that would make the Little Mermaid blush.
The 21-year-old walked in the Gypsy Sport spring 2019 show wearing a revealing seashell-and-body-chain bra, shredded low-rise jeans and a feathery green headpiece that looked like big leaves or strands of seaweed. On the runway, the ensemble was paired with some tiny sunglasses and clunky white sneakers .

According to Vogue , Leon was laser focused as she strutted her stuff on the catwalk. The outlet also reported that appearing in the show was all Leon’s idea: She reached out to the label’s designer, Rio Uribe, and asked if she could be in the show.

While the show may have been a first for Leon, it wasn’t her first foray into fashion. Last year she appeared in an ad campaign for Stella McCartney’s Pop perfume , and more recently she modeled for the Converse x MadeMe campaign . This summer, she also appeared in a Vogue Germany spread shot by fashion photography duo Luigi and Iango.
Looks as if she’s on her way to becoming a true material girl, just like her mom.

1990 Madonna gave the world a true fashion moment when she stepped onstage during her Blond Ambition tour wearing this Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra bodysuit. The bra, which made its runway debut in 1982, was inspired by 1950s bullet bras and the underwear-as-outerwear trend , according to Entertainment Weekly. The outfit garnered plenty of chatter and, of course, will forever be one of her most iconic looks. 1990 The Blond Ambition tour was basically a fashion show, featuring a number of other iconic looks, including this flashy, bright fuchsia blazer. And can we just take a moment to appreciate the braid-wrapped high ponytail? The hairstyle is almost as iconic as the cone bra.

(Also note her bleached eyebrows.) 1993 This sparkly two-piece outfit was part of the wardrobe for Madonna’s the Girlie Show world tour.
1993 This intricate ensemble was also part of the Girlie Show world tour.
1995 Madonna has always been one to push the boundaries with her wardrobe choices. She donned a black latex catsuit, danced in rope and appeared in other bondage gear in her video for “Human Nature,” a true sorry-not-sorry anthem. “The song is about basically saying don’t put me in a box, don’t pin me down, don’t tell me what I can and can’t say. It’s about breaking out of the restraints,” she said of the music video, according to Rolling Stone . “So that’s basically the point of the costume.” 1995 For her performance at the Brit Awards, the star reinvented herself once again and donned a much more angelic ensemble.

The outfit was one of the more pared down during this period, which marked yet another reinvention for the singer that was quite different from any of her previous phases. As Dazed described it, the album, also called “Ray of Light,” feels “spiritual, elemental, and enlightened .” Around this time, she embraced Kabbala. (On her wrist, you can spot the red string bracelet associated with the religion.) 1998 Madonna (with her brother Christopher Ciccone) at the Vanity Fair Oscar party on March 23 in West Hollywood. She wore a gown by designer Olivier Theyskens , which helped boost his fame in the fashion industry. 1998 Madge donned another Theyskens creation for the VH1 Fashion Awards. This one was a bold yellow, embellished with hook and eye detailing, which the designer told Vogue was sewn on by hand . The overall aesthetic was very Disney’s Belle–meets–Sally from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” 1998 Madonna went for another full gown for the Golden Globe Awards. It was definitely a far cry from her cone bra.
