Madonna is considered a style icon.
Her
bridal
look from
Like a Virgin
(1984), the pink silk corset by designer Jean Paul Gaultier that she wore on the
Blond Ambition Tour
in the 1990s, her gothic airs when she released the song
Frozen
(1998 ), her Jane Fonda style (somewhat more disco) when she released her album
Confessions on a Dance Floor
in 2005… Without forgetting her
country stage
or, the most recent, urban.
A myth of the music and fashion industry whose son David Banda has picked up the glove.
The 16-year-old boy opted last Saturday to wear a design inspired by one that his mother wore no more and no less than 30 years ago.
Mother and son attended the World Boxing Association World Lightweight Championship, held in New York.
For the occasion, David Banda chose a red dress from the recent collaboration between Gucci and Adidas, presented last February during Milan Fashion Week and which will be on sale next June 7.
A choice almost identical to the Adidas dress worn by Madonna at the New York premiere of the film
Something to Remember.
Then it was the month of June 1993, and on that occasion Madonna broke all the codes, because her appearance was not at a sporting event but at a Hollywood premiere.
The singer attended in the company of actress Rosie O'Donnell, and chose to leave aside the classic haute couture suit and bet on a maroon Adidas dress with a pronounced V-neckline. As footwear, no heels: maroon sneakers.

"A moment from the past meets the present," Gucci wrote on his Instagram account along with a photo of the singer and her son.
“Her mother of hers, Madonna, was photographed in 1993 wearing the dress that she was inspired by [the new garment].
The archival original was part of an official collaboration between the sportswear brand and Label NYC's Laura Whitcomb and was redesigned by Alessandro Michele within his Exquisite Gucci collection.
"Men have opened a dialogue with the female universe and I want to promote a broad representation of masculinity, that's why I think it made sense to do it that way," Michele explained at a press conference after that February show about his collection, with garments that are “halfway between the two genders”.
