Lourdes Leon walks New York Fashion Week in shell necklace

Madonna's Daughter Just Walked The New York Fashion Week Runway

Wearing nothing but a shell necklace… - by Anna McClelland

The last time Lourdes Leon made headlines it was for posting a photo of her unshaven armpits on social media back in January, and now – gasp! – she’s at it again. This time, the 21-year-old daughter of Madonna has walked the Fashion Week runway wearing nothing but a shell necklace and heavily ripped jeans, revealing unshaven legs beneath.

Although Lourdes generally keeps a low profile (or as low a profile as the daughter of a living legend like Madonna can possibly have), she made an exception for her Gypsy Sport runway debut.

Embracing a woman’s natural body hair has become a growing trend (or, for the cynical among us, a way to guarantee headlines) of late, with multiple beauty and fashion brands featuring unwaxed, unshaven, un-lasered models.

All power to them.
