The Evolution of Madonnas Daughter, Lourdes Leon
Being the child of a celebrity comes with its perks. It’s probably a pretty cool feeling to have a parent that everyone knows, not to mention the fact that you’ll have access to some pretty cool things. But even with the cool advantages of having a famous parent, it also comes with is downsides. Unlike their parents, most celebrities’ children did not sign up for a life in the spotlight, and sometimes would prefer to be able to live their lives away from the cameras. Unfortunately, most do not get the chance to do so, because the media feels entitled to know everything about stars and those closest to them. Sadly, many simply can’t handle the pressure of a life in the spotlight, and often find themselves making poor decisions in hopes of possibly turning people off from wanting to follow them. With that being said, it’s always nice to see the child of celebrity make good decisions and set themselves up for the future.
Madonna’s oldest daughter, Lourdes Leon, is among the young people with famous parents who has grown into a pretty respectable young adult. Although many people may be surprised given Madonna’s somewhat out-of-control past, but Lourdes seems to be creating a path of her very own. However, like her mother, she is very unique and isn’t afraid to stand on her own two feet. Over the years, many have watched the now 18 year-old blossom into the smart and confident woman who has recently gone off to college. Although it may be hard to believe, it’s very true when they say time flies. Here is the evolution of Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes Leon.
Posed with her mother and younger brother, Lourdes looks like a typical child spending some quality time with her family. Even Madonna has ditched the pop star look for some old-fashioned pajamas, and the three seem like a very happy family. Despite the stereotypes that often surround celebrity parents, it’s clear to see that Madonna loves her children, and that Lourdes adores her mother in this photo, and that’s something that has remained constant over the years.

Even as a child, Lourdes possessed a level of self-assurance that a lot of people don’t have. It can be easy to feel intimidated at an event full of adults, especially at such a young age, but standing next to her mother, Lourdes seems fully prepared to hold her own and enjoy the night. Not to mention the fact that she’s able to pull that outfit with some serious style.

The pre-teen/early teen years are awkward for almost everybody. During this stage of life, it’s almost hard to believe that people will eventually transform into adults. As a result, many people struggle to find self-confidence as they go through changes and their bodies start to become more and more unfamiliar. However, even at this age, Lourdes looks confident and happy – rocking a full smile when many people with braces have found countless ways to hide their teeth at all times. But hey, it’s probably really easy to feel good when you’re standing on a red carpet wearing some pretty expensive clothes and rubbing elbows with all of your mom’s famous friends.

In her teenage years, Lourdes seemed to be developing her own style, and she even experimented with piercings and tattoos. She even experimented with various hairstyles, at one point even slightly cutting her hair. However, regardless of the look she chose, she was always able to pull it off with style and grace. To many people in the public, it seems like Lourdes literally grew up over night. She quickly became somewhat of a style icon for young people, found herself hanging out with some pretty famous friends, and she even found her way into some of the internet’s most popular blogs. Despite the fact that her popularity was beginning to grow, Lourdes still remained relatively low-key when it came to addressing the media or having her life be thrust into the public eye.

Now a college student at the University of Michigan, it’s hard to believe that little Lourdes isn’t so little anymore. Her mother, who also attended the University of Michigan did not get finish because of her career. Although she could have easily been set up with some lavish off-campus housing, Lourdes chose to live in a dorm like the rest of the students. When she left for college, her mother was overwhelmed and had a hard time saying goodbye to her daughter. According to Madonna: “…my daughter left me, and I fell into the deepest depression. And I’m always so happy when she calls me and she says, ‘Mommy, I miss you’ or ‘I need you to rub my head.'” However, it seems like Lourdes is doing well and carving out her own niche in the world. Only time will tell what Lourdes ultimately chooses to do with her life, but hopefully she stays on the right track and continues to make her mother proud.
