It was Valentino Beauty’s one-night-only revival of the legendary Studio 54, fashion and nostalgia collided, but it was Lourdes Leon, daughter of pop icon Madonna, who truly stole the show.
Striking a fierce pose beneath the club’s moody lighting and vintage glamour, Lourdes embraced the spirit of disco-era daring in a jaw-dropping, nearly topless black ensemble.
Her barely-there look featured a draped, backless dress, featuring a shredded sheer skirt with sky-high slits, revealing her fearless sense of style.
She styled her hair in loose waves and wore minimal accessories to complete the sultry Studio 54 fantasy. The impromptu photoshoot took place inside the famed Manhattan venue, reimagined for Valentino Beauty’s Rendez-Vous Ivory Collection launch.
As disco classics by Donna Summer and Diana Ross took center stage through velvet-draped rooms, Lourdes fit right in with the night’s theme of glamorous rebellion.
While other guests leaned into retro elegance, including Cher, who arrived in a dramatic fur-trimmed Valentino coat, Lourdes brought a fresh, youthful sensuality to the evening. The look felt like a nod to both the bold fashion of the 1970s and the avant-garde edge of modern Gen Z style.
Studio 54, the infamous nightlife haven of the late '70s, was resurrected for the night in celebration of Valentino’s latest collection. Celebrity attendees included Colman Domingo, Benito Skinner, and Christopher Briney, with Cher commanding attention as the evening’s honorary disco queen.
Lourdes has firmly cemented her status as a true New York City 'It Girl,' effortlessly blending downtown cool with high-fashion edge. Whether she's making bold style statements at exclusive fashion soirées or captivating crowds with intimate performances, Lourdes is everywhere all at once.
She recently took the stage at the ultra-private venue The Box in Manhattan, showcasing her sultry vocals and magnetic stage presence in an all-red ensemble.
Under her artist name Lolahol, she’s performed at major festivals like Brava Madrid and Parklife, but it’s her connection to NYC’s gritty-glam nightlife that makes her so compelling.
Madonna has spoken candidly in past interviews about her daughter’s talents, calling her “incredible" at everything she does, from dancing to acting to music to modeling.
