LONDON, ENGLAND: Seven-time Grammy winner Madonna gathered her four youngest children for a family photo next to the blue-themed Christmas tree while spending the holidays in London. As provocative as ever, the 64-year-old Queen of Pop dressed her 10-year-old twin daughters Estere and Stella Ciccone in all-black outfits, corsets around their waists, and high heels for the festive occasion.
Chifundo "Mercy" James, the superstar's daughter, turned 17 on January 22 and was sporting a blue dress. David Banda, Madonna's 17-year-old son, looked sharp in a baby blue blouse tucked into high-waisted black pants and loafers while wearing a nameplate necklace.

The pop star who has 18.6 million followers on Instagram, also uploaded a close-up video of herself standing with her children while Eartha Kitt's 1953 holiday classic 'Santa Baby', which she herself covered in 1987, played in the background. Madonna also wore a black lace bustier with her pajamas in the family video.
Before bringing her kids to check out the attractions at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, the "tired Santa" also tried on a pair of wreath-shaped glasses. David, Mercy, Stella, Estere, Madonna, and David defied the icy conditions to go for a short bike ride. The Gambler singer's 22-year-old son Rocco Ritchie and her 26-year-old daughter Lourdes "Lola" Leon, were absent from the family celebration.
Last month, the pop star had also shared a rare picture with all six of her children — Lourdes "Lola" Leon, 26, Rocco Ritchie, 22, David Banda, 17, Mercy James, 16, and twin daughters Stella and Estere, 10 — when they celebrated Thankgiving on November 25 in New York City. She captioned the viral Instagram post 'What I’m thankful for…………. .'
Appearing on the cover of PEOPLE in 2017, Madonna talked openly about her experience with adoption as well as her life at home with her kids. "Sometimes I would just close my eyes and just think, 'Why isn't my kitchen filled with dancing children?' There's so many children that need a home," she said. "I thought, 'What am I waiting for? Just do it.' " Madonna talked about how she had a bond with her children right away. "It's inexplicable," she said. "It's like saying, 'Why do you fall in love with the people you fall in love with?' You look into the eyes of somebody, you feel their soul, you feel touched by them — that's it."
The Universal Pictures biographical 'Little Sparrow', which Madonna directed herself, is still in pre-production. According rumors the film has been a "nightmare production" due to the "script and constant changes" and that it "might not happen" because it is "costing a ton of money." The screenplay was co-written by Madonna and Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, who was eventually replaced by Erin Wilson, winner of the Independent Spirit Award ('The Girl on the Train,' 'Secretary'). According to Variety, the main role in the movie has been given to three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner, while Julia Fox is the favorite to play the self-made superstar's longtime friend Debi Mazar, as per Daily Mail.
