What do teenagers love? According to 14-year-old Lourdes Leon, it’s fresh and fruity scents, dramatic nail polish colors and of course, pretty party dresses.

The budding designer, who oversees Macy’s Material Girl line with mom Madonna, recently unveiled the latest offerings for the brand, including more denim, party dresses, outerwear, lingerie and makeup.

“I really like the vanilla body lotion,” she told PEOPLE while experimenting with some of the beauty buys. “It smells really good, fresh, like you just rubbed vanilla essence all over you … which is good!”

Another favorite? Labyrinth nail enamel. “I think it’s cool,” she said of the sheer, sparkly polish she was sporting that day. “You can wear it to school without it being overly bright, which is nice.”

Teens everywhere have been amping up their wardrobes with eclectic pieces from Madonna and daughter Lourdes’s juniors clothing line, Material Girl. And now, the mother-daughter team is building up the brand to include beauty products, intimates and sleepwear, plus outerwear, party dresses and an expanded denim line. First up are intimates and sleepwear, which debut in stores this month and will include everything from solid and polka-dot push-up bras to bustiers, sweatpants and even girly boxers. Next will come beauty products, including nail polish, lip glosses, body sprays and lotions, all hitting stores on Aug. 15, with eye palettes launching on Sept. 15. 
”It was so much fun getting to pick all of my favorite scents for the Material Girl body products and lip glosses,” Lourdes told WWD. “The body products have fun names like Wicked Watermelon, Flirty Fruit, Midnight Magnolia and Sinful Sugar. I chose scents that I loved.” After girls everywhere start smacking their lips with the new glosses, they can stock up on fall fashions like studded and acid-wash skinny jeans, outerwear like cape coats and bomber jackets, and a collection of sequin-covered, feather-accessorized dresses, also coming to stores in fall. We wonder if the brand’s famous face, Kelly Osbourne, is excited about the new additions! Shop the line only at Macy’s and macys.com.

Work it, Kelly! She was announced as the fresh new face of Madonna and daughter Lourdes’s juniors clothing line Material Girl in January, and now, Kelly Osbourne is rocking out in some new images from the upcoming fall 2011 campaign, called MG + NYC.
”We have both enjoyed working with Kelly and are thrilled to have her on board for the launch of the fall 2011 collection,” Madonna said in a statement accompanying the latest images. And Osbourne feels right at home working with the material mom-and-daughter duo. “I’m really enjoying being the face of Material Girl. I love being part of a brand for girls and having the opportunity to work with Lola [a.k.a. Lourdes] who has an amazing fashion instinct,” she said. “Added to that is the fact that Madonna has been a big influence on my style over the years.” For the new campaign, photographer Brooke Nipar shot Osbourne in iconic spots throughout New York City, including Times Square, Soho and Washington Square Park. The ads serve as a follow-up to Osbourne’s spring campaign for the brand, carried exclusively at Macy’s. When the ladies weren’t busy shooting the ads, they did find some time to have a little fun: Madonna, Lourdes and Osbourne got chummy around town in some fun, behind-the-scenes photos (below).

Madonna and Jean Paul Gaultier: Fashion’s 26-Year-Old Love Affair

With a new collaboration popping up every day, few designer-celebrity partnerships withstand the test of time. An exception to the rule is Jean Paul Gaultier, who, with a traveling exhibit and corresponding tome, reveals a lifelong liaison between style and pop culture. Did you know that the designer catapulted to fame in the late ’70s with a collection inspired by Grease? Or that before dressing stars like Rihanna and Nicole Kidman, he played wardrobe stylist to Kurt Cobain, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Cameo? Exhibit curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot tells PEOPLE that Gaultier pulls inspiration from television, film, music and yes, real people. It’s this very aesthetic that upset fashion traditionalists so many years ago. “He destroys the notion of elegance. It’s street fashion that I see all the time outside the windows of my atelier,” designer Claude Montana lamented to PEOPLE in 1985. A year later, Madonna first wore Gaultier’s designs to the premiere of Desperately Seeking Susan, and a legendary partnership was born. The duo went on to collaborate on costumes for the pop sensation’s Blonde Ambition tour in 1990, the Confessions tour in 2006 and countless other occasions. Footage from the 1985 film premiere foreshadows their mutual success. A reporter asks, “What do you think of the way Madonna is dressed tonight?” The crowd roars with overwhelming approval. –Justine Harman

Madonna’s Daughter Lourdes Contemplates Blue Hair — and Mom’s Disapproval!

Madonna's Daughter Lola Opens Up in 'Material World' Blog

It might be hard to believe, but Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes (a.k.a. Lola) Leon, is actually just like any other teenage girl — hello, Harry Potter and Katy Perry. Of course, not every teen already has co-created a junior’s collection for Macy’s this fall, but even she isn’t immune to the style dilemmas of adolescence! “I don’t know if any of you saw my hair yet but its mad dark right at the moment. I’m almost sick of it and now I want royal blue hair but not a streak, like my entire head,” she muses. “I’m sure if I get that hair color I’ll be sick of it after about two weeks.” And how does mom Madonna feel about her Lola opening up for all the internet to see? “I read this blog aloud to my mother and she is sitting here staring at me with no expression on her face, as if she doesn’t approve of it!” she writes. “So now you all know what I have had to put up with for the past 14 years of my life :D” Read the rest of good-humored Lola’s Material World blog here. – Hana Choi

And while Angelina mixed things up, Madonna matched the same black Gucci bag with an all-ebony ensemble. But these two stylish moms weren’t the only A-listers hauling the luxury handbag–Jennifer Lopez and Penélope Cruz went for the bag in brown, and Eva Mendes chose it in blue! With all these fashionistas carrying Gucci’s must-have tote, it’s tough to decide who pulled it off best. Tell us: Did Angelina Jolie or Madonna wear her Gucci tote better?
