The music superstar Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon was turned away from Thursday’s Marc Jacobs fashion presentation in Manhattan.
According to a now-viral TikTok video, the 26-year-old was approached by firm security officers who seemed to tell her she was too late when she arrived at the Park Avenue Armory after the doors had closed.
After being selected as the face of the clothing company’s spring 2021 campaign, Lourdes, whom Madonna welcomed in 1996 with her then-boyfriend Carlos Leon, is more hurt than usual by the decision.
The “nepo baby” was seen walking up to the building when she was stopped by security on her way into the event in a TikTok video tweeted by @mickmicknyc.
The video’s narration by a male voice claims that Lourdes arrived at the venue promptly at 6 p.m., which also happened to be the scheduled time for the event to begin.
Lourdes and the guy she came with were informed that the event was “closed” after consulting with security.
Let her in!” was then chanted by the throng, and a passerby then asked the security officer, “You don’t know who she is?”
The security crew refused to budge, which was unfortunate for the aspiring singer, so she was forced to turn around and go back to the vehicle.
Star-studded attendees at the Marc Jacobs presentation included Emily Ratajkowski, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and Ashley Graham.
Lourdes had no trouble entering fashion shows with her renowned mother at her side since the two often go to events together.
Just days after visiting the New York Fashion Week afterparty, the duo was seen at the Tom Ford catwalk show during New York Fashion Week in September.
She finished the Marine Serre runway show in June of last year by taking the runway.
Since walking her debut catwalk for Gypsy Sport at New York Fashion Week in 2018, the oldest child of the late Queen of Pop has been making significant waves in the fashion industry.
The actress has starred in advertisements over the last several years for brands including Marc Jacobs, Swarovski, Parade’s partnership with Juicy Couture, and, perhaps most aptly, Madonna fave Jean Paul Gaultier.
Leon appeared at the Savage X Fenty lingerie line’s third runway show in 2021, and as a result, she has also evolved into something of a muse for Rihanna’s clothing line. In the summer of 2021, she earned her first Vogue cover, sharing the page with celebrities like Bella Hadid and Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber.
