The internet is divided over reports that Lourdes Leon, an American singer, was turned away from the Marc Jacobs runway because she was late.

On February 2, the 26-year-old personality appeared to have missed the fashion show held at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City for the label's Spring 2023 collection as she arrived at the destination when the show had already begun.

In a viral TikTok video, Leon, the daughter of singer Madonna, can be seen walking towards the entrance of the fashion show along with her friend when security guards standing there denied her entry and told her the doors were closed.

For the show, Leon donned a denim button-up bustier and paired it with a denim skirt. She completed her look with a denim jacket, a denim handbag, and white knee-high boots.

The alleged denied entry comes as a shock to many as Madonna has been a longtime friend of Marc Jacobs.

Later that night, Lourdes Leon posted pictures of herself from the show, which led some internet users to believe that the incident was only a publicity stunt for the brand.
