Pop Star Madonna became famous for her risque outfits as her singing. But now, as a mother of four, she is proving more conventional than many would have expected. The 51-year-old singer has revealed she would like her teenage daughter Lourdes to dress 'more conservatively', reports The Daily Mail, London.

Lourdes, Madonna's daughter from her relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon, has regularly been seen in unusual outfits. And that has not gone down well with her singing mom, whose own creations include revealing stage outfits, leotards and - perhaps most infamously - her Jean Paul Gaultierdesigned conical bra costume from her 1990 world tour.



Speaking of her daughter, Madonna said: 'If anything, I wish she'd dress more conservatively. How's that for irony?  [Lourdes' style is] inspired by kids she sees in hip-hop and ballet classes, European influences, bands she listens to. You could say it's in the DNA - but I could never tell her how to dress. She also comes to my photo and video shoots, pulls outfits together and gives her input to a lot of my fashion designer friends. Whether it's Marc Jacobs or Stella McCartney, they always ask her what she thinks.'

The singer and her daughter have also teamed up for a new clothing range, called Material Girl, which is expected to debut in New York department store Macy's from August.

It will feature back-to-school styles plus shoes, handbags and jewellery. A perfume is also expected to follow next year.  Madonna admitted that Lourdes, who she calls Lola, was the driving force in the range.

She told American magazine U.S. Weekly: 'I did a line for H&M, which I enjoyed, but it was a lot of work.  'I thought, I don't want to give up the rest of my career, so I'm not going to do my own line again. But I have a 13-year-old with tireless energy who wanted to do this. I've been involved in business meetings, but Lola's really doing the work. I just sit in the corner on my BlackBerry.'

The singer and her family - Lourdes, Rocco, nine, Mercy and David, both four, and toy-boy love Jesus Luz, 23 - are in London after flying from New York on Monday.

On Easter Monday they will fly to Malawi so that adopted children Mercy and David can be reunited with their biological families.  Madonna is planning a lunch where the duo 'can proudly show off their dance skills and meet their relatives', according to a friend.  She will also lay bricks to mark the start of building of her girls' academy in the African country.

The singer, who left Britain after her divorce from film director Guy Ritchie in October 2008, is then due to return to Britain to direct a movie which chronicles the life of King Edward VIII. She is expected to stay in the country for a number of months while filming is carried out.

The movie, W.E., will tell the story of the king who caused a serious constitutional crisis when he renounced the throne to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson in 1936.
