Lourdes Leon, Madonna’s oldest daughter, is turning heads and making headlines, both for her latest outfit and for her incredible musical skills. The 28-year-old singer and model, who goes by the stage name Lolahol, wowed audiences during an intimate performance at The Box in Manhattan this week.
Videos from her performance surfaced online, showing her stage presence and striking all-red ensemble. In the clip, Lourdes can be seen taking the spotlight in a red bralette, low-rise maxi skirt, and matching cardigan, with her toned midriff on full display.

Since the release of her debut single “Lock&Key” in 2022, Lourdes has performed at major festivals like Brava Madrid and Parklife in Manchester, and says her music comes from a place of deep personal expression.

Can’t wait for everyone to hear your new music!!! So proud of you.”
