David Banda’s fashion: Madonna’s son gives Harry Styles, Lil Nas X a run for their money in Gucci and Schiaparelli
- David Banda, son of Madonna, ‘can put on any outfit and look swag as you know what,’ boasts the singer – and his recent outings seem to prove this
- David is not afraid to play with fashion, and has been spotted in everything from a dapper black tuxedo to a long dress from the Gucci X Adidas collaboration
He may only be 16 but David Banda, son of Madonna, is quickly gaining attention as a fledgling fashion maven and giving adventurous dressers such as singers Harry Styles and Lil Nas X a run for their money.
Even Madonna recently weighed in.
“He can put on any outfit and look swag as you know what,” she said in a recent interview on US talk show The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Next to Madonna, who was clad in a very tame – at least, by her standards – black tracksuit from the collection, David stole the show in a V-neck dress in bright red and embellished with Adidas’ signature stripes.
David, who is a professional football player trained at the prestigious Benfica Academy in Lisbon, Portugal, is not afraid to play with fashion, looking dapper in a black tuxedo for a birthday celebration or celebrating gender fluidity in a slip dress for an impromptu Instagram dance session with one of his siblings.
David was born in Malawi, Africa, in 2005 and adopted by Madonna after being handed over to an orphanage by his biological parents. His adoptive father is British director and Madonna’s ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
While David clearly owes his fame to being the son of a global star, he is making waves thanks to his refreshing approach to fashion, which he seems to have inherited from his mother, and his prowess on the football field. In 2018, he was named best player under 12 at Benfica.
