By Mawuse Ziegbe Madonna and Lourdes Leon Photo: James Devaney/ Getty Images Although Madonna has built one of the biggest pop careers in history on body-baring costumes, hip-thrusting dance moves, controversial music and all-around sensationalism, she doesn’t tolerate that type of nonsense when it comes to her teen daughter Lourdes — not when she’s heading to school, anyway. Madge, who is collaborating with 13-year-old Lola on the juniors fashion line Material Girl , said that while she appreciates her pop progeny’s daring approach to fashion, she’s not down with her daughter tarting it up for the classroom. “I always have two reactions when Lola comes into my room with an outfit on: One is, ‘Oh my God, she looks amazing, what incredible style.’ And then my second reaction is, ‘She’s dressed completely inappropriately for school,’ ” Madonna told People in a video interview. “I usually tell her to take off her 3-inch or 6-inch platforms and pull her skirt down just a little bit and take off some of the black eye makeup.” Even though Madonna has spent the better part of the last three decades strutting around onstage and entertaining millions of fans in some iteration of a figure-hugging bodysuit, the pop legend insists that her approach to Lola’s look is a function of Madge’s current identity as a regular ol’ mom. “She does have amazing style, but I am the typical mother, where I say, ‘Oh my God, you can’t go to school dressed like that!’ ” They may not agree when it comes to school clothes, but mother and daughter are working together on their Material Girl line, which launches August 3. While Madonna calls the shots when it comes to Lourdes’ home-room fashion, the diva said Lola’s style drives their joint collection. “My role is really to make sure we were all going in the right direction … and it was a line that I could stand behind and be proud of and feel good about and one that she could also feel represented her,” Madonna said. “I really like the way Lola dresses, and I think this line is absolutely an extension of her taste.” What do you think about Madonna and Lourdes teaming up for a fashion line?
