This well-known family has more than one fashion plate.
On “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” music and fashion icon Madonna revealed that her 16-year-old son David Banda is already dressing better than she is.
“He can put on any outfit and look swag as you know what,” she told Fallon on Wednesday night.
“It’s really irritating. He wears my clothes and looks better in them. He can even wear a dress and look butch.”
There was no humor in the “Material Girl.” Back in May at the WBA World Lightweight Championship at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the mother-son team matched in Adidas attire.
In a vivid red three-stripe dress from Adidas’ collaboration with Gucci, Banda, who is well known for his gender-fluid fashion choices, stole the show. Black sneakers, layered silver jewelry, and a pair of yellow sunglasses completed the teen’s striking ensemble.
But David’s mother was his mother in more ways than just her sense of style. The singer of “Like a Virgin” continued by revealing to Fallon that her son, whom she adopted in 2006, is currently working on his own music.
“He’s going to end up being one of your guests,” the 63-year-old extolled Banda, declaring that he possesses “everything” required to be a star.
Fallon echoed the Queen of Pop and said, “He’s got ‘it.’ He’s got magic. He’s funny, he’s charming, he’s athletic, he’s a good-looking dude.”
The hitmaker described in the same interview how, after accidentally flashing the audience during her performance of “Like a Virgin” at the first-ever MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, she thought her career was “over with.”
Madge claims that when her stiletto fell off onstage, she dove to grab it, but inadvertently flipped up her dress and showed her bottom to the audience.
“Those were the days when you shouldn’t show your butt to have a career,” the singer joked. “Now it’s the opposite.”
The superstar went on to become one of the best-selling female artists of all time, despite her representatives believing that her career would end as a result of the incident.
