Lourdes Leon delivered a moment steeped in pop history during her Ibiza performance, channeling her mother Madonna with a sleek black look that instantly evoked the Queen of Pop’s most iconic eras.
Taking the stage at El Silencio in Cala Moli on August 29, the 28-year-old artist, who performs under the name Lolahol, captivated the crowd in a fitted black satin slip dress paired with gold hoop earrings.
Her long dark hair cascaded in soft waves, a styling choice that recalled Madonna’s unforgettable 'Like a Prayer' video as well as the ethereal visuals from her haunting 'Frozen' single.
Fans quickly noticed the resemblance and drew parallels to Madonna’s iconic music video, noting how she embodied both the mystique of 'Like a Prayer' and the gothic elegance of 'Frozen'.

Lourdes Leon’s Music Career
Lourdes released her debut single Lock and Key in August 2022. The club-ready track included a playful nod to Lady Gaga with the line, “No sleep, bus, club, ‘nother club, ‘nother club, plane, next place, no sleep, no fear.”
The lyrics referenced a viral 2011 interview with Gaga, a bold choice considering Madonna and Gaga’s famously complicated history.
In 2023, Lourdes revealed that her track Spelling was an intentional homage to her mother’s 1998 single Frozen. Sharing on Instagram, she explained, “This piece is very special. It’s an homage to my mother’s timeless piece of art, Frozen.’
She continued, "That piece has come up countless times in my life, connecting the two of us. I would be nothing without the woman who brought me into the world. I revere her, and hope that this translates.”
Madonna’s Own Tribute
The mother-daughter bond runs deep. Earlier this year, Madonna herself mirrored her late mother, also named Madonna, by wearing a brunette wig. The singer wrote on Instagram: “I missed my mother so I channelled her…”
Madonna’s mother died of breast cancer in 1963 when the pop star was just five years old, a loss that continues to influence her artistry and personal reflections.
