Madonna's Son David Banda Wears an Updated Version of Her Iconic '90s Adidas Dress

Jun 1 2022 - 9:31am

Madonna [1] and her adopted son, David Banda, showed up in style to the WBA World Lightweight Championship at Barclays Center on Saturday, May 28. Embracing an on-theme silhouette for the occasion, Banda wore a sporty, low-cut red-and-white maxi dress with Adidas's signature stripes lining the bodice and sleeves. The design was first unveiled on the Gucci fall 2022 catwalk [2] — a show that marked the debut of a buzzy collaboration between the two powerhouses during Milan Fashion Week. The dress also pays homage to a memorable red-and-white cotton Adidas dress his mother wore in 1993, when she posed with comedian Rosie O'Donnell [3] at the premiere party of the film "Sleepless in Seattle."

Madonna [4]'s own garment featured a deeper plunging neckline and a high slit on the left (Banda's slit is positioned on the right). Fans were quick to point out the nostalgic fashion connection, which Gucci described in an Instagram post [5] as a "past-meets-present moment": "The archival original was part of an official collaboration between the sportswear brand and Laura Whitcomb of Label NYC and re-envisioned by Alessandro Michele within his Exquisite Gucci collection."

Banda's outfit saluted his mother's iconic Adidas moment, which she finished with red suede Puma sneakers. Banda gave his look a contemporary spin with Balenciaga's speed-recycled knit sneakers [6] in black and white, layers of gold necklaces and silver bracelets, a retro pair of yellow sunglasses with blue-tinted lenses, and a black shoulder bag with graphic letters.

Madonna, who also attended the game and documented the night out on her Instagram page [7], wore a black-and-white Adidas track jacket and pants, accessorizing with silver necklaces and pink sunglasses.
