Like mother, like son.
Madonna’s 16-year-old sonDavid Bandachanneled her iconic style on Saturday night — and gave us some serious fashion flashbacks. Wearing a red and white-stripe dress — a collaborationbetween Adidas and Gucci launching on June 7– Banda made a statement at the WBA World Lightweight Championship in New York City.
ForMadonnafans, and fashion fans alike, the look probably seemed familiar.
It was an ode to a dress his mother wore in 1993 — a red and white-striped Adidas dress she was photographed wearing to the premiere ofSleepless in SeattlealongsideRosie O’Donnell.
Gucci called it a “past-meets-present moment” in an Instagram post shared Monday.
