Madonna & Lookalike Daughter Lourdes' Best Photos

Madonna and her oldest daughter, Lourdes Leon, are a dynamic duo with a shared love of art, dance and fashion.

Madonna welcomed Lourdes, also known by those close to her as “Lola,” with former partner Carlos Leon in October 1996, the first of the legendary pop star’s six children. Madonna later had her son, Rocco, with then-husband Guy Ritchie before the couple adopted a baby boy, David, together. After their divorce, Madonna adopted her daughter, Mercy, and twin girls, Stella and Estere, as a single mom.

But there’s definitely a special bond between the superstar and her edgy oldest daughter. As Lourdes has come into her own, she’s shown the world that she’s ready to introduce herself and pave her own path separate from her iconic mom’s towering career. And while Lourdes has already cultivated a rich, eclectic career in modeling, there are still moments where we can’t help but see the spitting image of her mother.

We love seeing these two women together, and looking back on photos of the pair from when Lourdes was a preteen and teenager makes us feel super nostalgic.

So, let’s take a walk down memory lane and see some of the best lookalike photos of Lourdes and Madonna through the years!
