Madonna's Son David Banda Rocks Dior Shades and a Man Purse

Looks like Lourdes Leon isn't the only child with with fierce fashion moves in the Madonna household.

Accompanying his adoptive mother on a trip to Malawi, his birthplace, four-year-old David Banda flaunted his cheeky and chic side with a cool cartoon tee, Dior sunglasses (swiped from Madge, perhaps?) and a woven man (er, boy) purse.

(We're hoping we won't have to coin a new fashion term, "burse!")

The little fashion plate -- who's apparently been taking style notes from his Material Girl mom-- gave the paps a show to remember by sticking out his tongue and vogue-ing for the camera.

Watch your back, Cruz Beckham. You've got competition!

Celebrity kids wear the darndest things. Check out Kingston Rossdale's fashion-forward style.

Back on SUBJECT - Little David is a cutie. Spare the stupid comments about a man-purse, please. I'm happy this little boy is living the good life and will probably get a good college education when he gets older.

This is the stupidest article I have read in quite awhile AOL, Really! I can rest so much better now that I know Madonna's child wears Dior sunglasses and a purse.

Of course, he would have a 'man purse'. Suri Cruse wears high heels at 3 years old. I guess Madonna wants her child to 'outdo' the Cruses'..

If you read about that, you would know that David's birth father supported the adoption.

Hi Karen~ In response to your question as to how David could have been adopted out when he has a father (he also has a grandmother who loves him very much!) who is still in his life - I remember reading about this in the very beginning when Madonna was first trying to legalize his adoption that David and his family lived a very poor life amongst a lot of sick people in their village. Perhaps she (Madonna) did this to give David a chance at a better life with opportunities he would never have otherwise gotten. Those are the reasons I understood them to be.

This is for REBECCA,SANDRA,lzllon,and KISSYOUBABY19: Nobody wants to see your lame websites.I watch for this,and I reported all of you,and I will keep doing it until you are blocked from doing it altogether. Stop wasting people's time,and keep to the subject at hand. It's not only annoying and deceitful,it's pathetic and boring.

I'm not sure which is more pathetic, the spammers, or idiots like you that feel the need to add to the crap by whining, complaining, and threatening people who will never read a word you say. You must be brand new to the internet.

Poot: what are you TALKING about? What do you mean by "catty"? I thought I was asking a legitimate question. I DID read about it,and I recall there being a father in the picture,AND that he approved of it,but I still would like to know how she managed to adopt him.If for some reason I did not want my own child,I'm not sure I could just give him to someone in particular,so my guess is that Madonna made it worth his while,and I would think most governments would frown on basically "buying" a child. And what is with your foul mouth? I always say people who have to resort to that have limited vocabularies.It's sad that you are unable to carry on a civil discourse. You assumed the very worst about me.It's too bad. You sound like a very angry,hostile person.I will say a prayer for you.
