Like mother, like son! Madonna’s 16-year-old son David Banda is turning into quite the fashionista, just like his mama. The dynamic duo was spotted out at a boxing match on Saturday night in New York City, and his outfit sure looked familiar.
For any eagle-eyed fan, they know that David’s red and white-striped dress, an upcoming collaboration between Adidas and Gucci, was inspired by a similar dress his mom wore to the 1993 premiere of Sleepless in Seattle. Calling it a “past-meets-present moment” on their Instagram page, Gucci was excited to see that David’s outfit drew so much attention since the collection doesn’t drop until June 7.
