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.
"I don’t want to ever do that to my work," she explained to i-D Magazine about artists who make music for "clicks." "I care about responding to the people I respect, my peers, who are connected to a collective consciousness, a soul."
The performance didn’t just catch the attention of fans, as it also earned a review from Madonna, who was in the audience that night, and posted a photo of her daughter with the caption: “Little star @lourdesleon. Can’t wait for everyone to hear your new music!!! So proud of you.”
It’s a moment of full-circle pride for the 65-year-old icon, who has spoken candidly in past interviews about her daughter’s talents, calling her “incredible" at everything she does, from dancing to acting to music, and modeling.
Despite speculation she might play Madonna in the singer’s long-planned biopic, Lourdes opted out due to her limited acting experience. "She’s an incredible dancer, she’s a great actress, she plays the piano beautifully, she’s way better than me in the talent department," Madonna told Vogue.
“But does she have the same drive that I have? No. But she also has a mother, and I didn’t. She grew up with money, and I didn’t. So, everything is going to be different. But what can I do? I can’t fixate on it. I just have to do my best," she added.
