Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon was awkwardly refused entry into a Marc Jacobs fashion show in New York City.
The cringeworthy moment was caught on camera as fans were chanting for the face of 2021's Marc Jacobs campaign to be let in. Watch below:
Despite campaigning and modelling for the brand two years ago, the 26-year-old was turned away after guests such as Ashley Graham and Emily Ratajkowski were let straight in to the Park Avenue Armory on Thursday night (2 February).

Lourdes appeared to be pleading with security guards for almost two minutes, somewhat similar to a 17-year-old with a fake ID trying to get into a nightclub.
The star was dressed in a swaggy matching denim outfit and certainly looked the part.
However, as shown in the viral clip shared by @mickmicknyc, it appears she wasn't let in past the stairs.
Onlookers joined in by chanting: "Let her in, let her in," while others shouted: "It’s Madonna’s daughter!"
Despite the fans protests, the doormen were clearly not interested and firmly stood their ground.
The clip itself was captioned: "Big drama at the Marc Jacobs Fashion Show as Lourdes wasn't allowed in as she arrived exactly at 6pm."
Viewers rushed to the comments section, with one person writing: "One thing about security they don’t care."
Another added: "So embarrassing I would have immediately turned around and left rather than stand there."
"The people chanting let her in. i would be so embarrassed LMAO," a third thought.
While someone else commenting: "Even celebs get humbled sometimes regardless who ever they are. There clout means NOTHING."
Well, the celebs who did make it into the show included the likes of Blondie singer Debbie Harry and heiress Nicky Hilton.
The event was dubbed as Marc Jacobs Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear and saw Marc Jacobs pay tribute to the late fashion designer Vivienne Westwood who died last year at the age of 81.
Jacobs included a Vivienne Westwood quote in his show notes which read: “Fashion is life-enhancing, and I think it’s a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.”
Westwood passed way on 29th December 2022 and 'died today, peacefully and surrounded by her family, in Clapham, South London'.
"The world needs people like Vivienne to make a change for the better," the fashion label said.
It also shared a quote from the late designer, full name Dame Vivienne Isabel Westwood DBE RDI, referring to the Tao spiritual system.
"There was never more need for the Tao today. Tao gives you a feeling that you belong to the cosmos and gives purpose to your life," it states.
"It gives you such a sense of identity and strength to know you're living the life you can live and therefore ought to be living.
"Make full use of your character and full use of your life on earth."
The brand added: "Vivienne, we love you."
