David Banda, Madonna’s 16-year-old son, wore a dress that called back to one of his mother’s most iconic looks. The dress was a collaboration between Adidas and Gucci and he wore it on a night out with his mom, at the WBA World Lightweight Championship in New York City.

Banda’s dress was an ode to an iconic Madonna outfit from the ‘90s, which she wore to the premiere of “Sleepless in Seattle.” That film was released in 1993 and Madonna attended the event alongside Rosie O’Donnell.
In an Instagram post, Gucci discussed Banda’s outfit more thoroughly. “Attending the WBA World Lightweight Championship in New York, David Banda wore an Adidas x Gucci dress in a past-meets-present moment - his mother, Madonna, was captured in 1993 wearing the dress it was inspired by. The archival original was part of an official collaboration between the sportswear brand and Laura Whitcomb of Label NYC and re-envisioned by Alessandro Michele within his Exquisite Gucci collection,” read the caption.

Madonna has five children: Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy, Estere and Stella. While she’s close to all of her kids, she has spoken about the tight bond she shared with David. “He’s the one I have the most in common with,” she told British Vogue. “I feel like he gets me; he has more of my DNA than any of my children so far.”
