Tutu cute!
Madonna's youngest child, daughter Mercy James, paid tribute to her mommy's dancer roots during an NYC outing on Thursday -- sporting a pink tutu, tights, and ballet slippers!
See how Madonna inspired other stars to wear underwear as outerwear!
Just like her fashion-forward mother, Mercy, 4, put an edgy twist on the ballerina ensemble, topping it with a military-style jacket, white scarf and white hat.
What crazy outfit put Madonna on last year's worst-dressed list?
The reason for Mercy's festive gear? She and Madonna, 51, were en route to a birthday party. But Madonna has certainly worn tutus, too: before she became a music superstar, she briefly attended the University of Michigan in the mid 1970s on a dance scholarship.

A Malawi court granted the pop star's request to adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James in June 2009. Mercy is the second Malawi tyke to join Madonna's family: David Banda, 5, was formally adopted in 2008. The little ones have two older siblings born to Madonna: Lourdes, 13, and Rocco, 9.

31by Dane Youssef I have some love for the â??Material Girl,â?? though I prefer her own original idol David Bowie. Madonna has said that her earliest passion as a child was ballet. The Madonna of Pop said she wanted to be a dancer. The First Lady of Pop was good enough to spend her salad days in a travelling dance troupe. Madonna says her life goal wasnâ??t â??to be a ballet dancer.â?? She says â??Ballet is a very good training, and what it gives you is the strength to be able to do anything.â?? Absolute truth! Speaking as someone who took ballet himself, after getting better at balletâ??a lot of everything else in life, every other challengeâ?¦ well, it was a lot easier. Hmmm. Madonnaâ??s always been a shining light to follow. Although I wouldnâ??t say I myself am in love with the â??Cover Girlâ??sâ?? music, she certainly has some damn fine philosophies on how to live life. Ballet, Yoga and Pilates. The three principal rules to fitness health. And like myslef, the girl still takes private ballet classes. When you take the balletâ?¦ and you really love it, the dancer inside never leaves you. Thanks, Madonna. Iâ??m gonna get to work on the likes of this right now! â??Eternal Gratitude to Evita (Wherever You Are), Dane Youssef
Geeze Amy U R kind of a Biatch R'nt you?
We've got a lot of IDIOTS here posting crude or racist comments. There's a special place in Hades for all of you.
"Madonna adopted children she had a close bond with, not children who will or will not win beauty pageants. " What?! That may be the dumbest thing I've seen posted yet. Yeah, she does a lot of bonding with a baby that is living in the outskirts of the jungle in some third world country while she lives in a castle in London, a penthouse in New York, a mansion in Los Angeles and so on. She must have really got to know the little baby from Gliptozania or wherever she finds them, then the poor family turns the kid over (regretfully) for a couple thousand American dollars because it's more than his entire family tree has made since it was an acorn. I see what you mean, they have such a special bond right from the start. So heartwarming!
What is wrong with you racist and foul people insulting a child? She's going to her costume birthday party, she didn't ask to be photographed or to be famous. Her mother happens to be incredibly famous. Leave the children alone. Madonna adopted children she had a close bond with, not children who will or will not win beauty pageants. Leave them alone!
I thought her daughter was part hispanic or mexican and a teenager now -named Lala or something like that?? Who's this one????? I obviously don't keep up with her??
Why, Why would you let this baby come out of the house looking like that!!!!!!
the child looks like m.jackson from the top to her waist& white from the waist down . Poor kid
I dont understand how you narrow-minded people can talk about a child like that. I would love to see a picture of your kids like they are all that great looking. You pay a price for making fun of children, when something bad happens to yours dont ask why.
That's an insult to koons.
Seriously, even with all that is going on in the world today there are still inhumane, racist, and soulless people who spew nothing but hatred. @ Amy - I'm sure the last thing on Madonna's mind was how attractive this little girl was. She cared more about rescuing this girl from poverty and giving her a better life. @ Kim what is with you racists? Is your life really that hollow and meaningless that you must put people down? Children nonetheless? Learn to love and not hate.
January 22, 2010 - 12:16pm Amy Says: That child is just not cute. U would think Madonna would have bought a better one.........Well Amy I guess you think that only pretty children desire to be adopted...And by the way there is absolutely nothing wrong with this child..you are shallow.
THATS ADORABLE!? WHY THE F*CK TO RICH PEOPLE DRESS THEIR KIDS LIKE THEY ARE POOR AND THEY JUST PICK UP RANDOM SH*T... THAT LOOKS LIKE A HALLOWEEN COSTUME. ANGELINA JOLIE DOES THIS TOO! CANT PEOPLE WITH MONEY LEARN TO DRESS THEIR KIDS NICELY, MADONNA IS COUGAR...
like....thatz nt kool!....amy the assHo!e and kim the phukin fool who think that sayin somthin like dat is funny!!!....relli need to jus die! pull the phukin trigger alredi! i am POSITIVE that u will not b missed!!.....she is just a kid! let her b!
Sideshow freaks! What is it with these celebs buying black kids?
Hey Amy, your personality ain't cute.
I'm with you JLS...I thing AMY should stop hiding behind her computer and show us just how beautiful she is.
I'm so glad to see that Gary Coleman is feeling better after his recent health scare!
Reminds me of Michael Jackson walking around with Bubbles
Too adorable. So happy to see Mercy just doing what normal little girls do here. With Madonna and Lourdes in her family, she will develop her own style soon enough.
