Lourdes Leon Smolders in 'Express Yourself' by Karim Sadli for Vogue Paris September 2021

Lourdes ‘Lola’ Leon, aka Madonna’s oldest daughter with “fitness guru” Carlos Leon, has not embraced the limelight until now. The University of Michigan musical theater graduate has sought balance in her position as a very public daughter striving for her own identity and achievements.

Lourdes joined Anok Yai, Ariel Nicholson, Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Precious Lee, Sherry Shi, and Yumi Nu in the Vogue US September 2021 cover story "Generation America: The Models Changing an Industry."
