Madonna’s “Nepo baby” Lourdes Leon was turned away from the Marc Jacobs show in New York on Thursday because she arrived after the doors were closed.
The humiliating incident comes just two years after Lourdes was named the face of the fashion brand’s Spring 2021 campaign.
A viral TikTok posted by the @mickmicknyc account showed Lourdes attempting to enter the venue on Thursday, only to be stopped by security on her way up the stairs.
The voiceover narration at the beginning of the clip claimed Lourdes showed up at 6pm sharp – right around the time the catwalk show was supposed to start.
The man she arrived with was seen speaking to the guards for over a minute, but he and Lourdes were repeatedly informed the event was “closed”.
Full throttle: Madonna’s “Nepo-Baby” Lourdes Leon was turned away from the Marc Jacobs show in New York on Thursday because she didn’t arrive until after the doors closed
Oops: The humiliating incident came just two years after Lourdes was named the face of the fashion brand’s Spring 2021 campaign
As Lourdes tried to sneak her way onto the show, some bystanders could be heard trying to tell the guards who she was. ‘Let her in, she’s the doll!’ one wailed.
Their efforts reached a climax when they began repeatedly chanting, “Let them in!” only for Lourdes to be turned away anyway.
Lourdes finally gave up and slunk away, shielding her face with one hand as she walked back into the cold New York night.
She had dressed for the show in a busty denim ensemble, complete with a matching coat that slipped fashionably down her arms.
She accentuated her features with makeup and gave herself a touch of extra stature by expertly balancing on a towering pair of stiletto boots.
The Marc Jacobs Show, held at the historic Park Avenue Armory, welcomed a guest list that included Emily Ratajkowski, Nicky Hilton Rothschild and Ashley Graham.
Madonna welcomed Lourdes in 1996 with her then-boyfriend Carlos Leon, a fitness trainer who appears to have remained friends with the pop diva.
Lourdes, who is often called Lola, once spoke to Debi Mazar for Interview magazine and claimed, “We don’t get handouts in my family.”
The showbiz heir admitted, “Obviously, I grew up with extreme privilege. There’s no denying that. But I think my mom saw all these other kids of famous people and she was like, “My kids aren’t going to be like that.”
She added, “Also, I feel like when your parents pay for things, it gives them an impact on you. My mom is such a control freak and she has controlled me my entire life. I had to be completely independent of her once I graduated from high school.
Lourdes began her public career as a model but has since followed in her mother’s footsteps into music, releasing singles with names like C***radiction.
She’s one of a huge stream of rising starlets with famous parents, from Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose Depp to Andie MacDowell’s daughter Margaret Qualley.
Maude Apatow whose father is Judd Apatow and Maya Hawke whose parents are Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman have also risen to fame in recent years.
Also present are Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber, Heidi Klum’s daughter Leni Klum and Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough.
Online gossip about “Nepo babies” peaked in December after New York Magazine ran a viral cover story on the phenomenon.
Dakota Johnson, whose parents are Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and whose grandmother is Hitchcock blonde Tippi Hedren, was one of the faces on the cover.
