Madonna, who was given the Elle Style Icon Award at the Tenth Elle Style Awards sponsored by H&M (held in London earlier this month), graces the cover of British Elle’s April issue.

The forty-eight year-old former eighties iconexpresses concern that her older children, Lourdes, 10, and Rocco, 6, don’t share her…um….unique fashion sense, which used to include wedding dresses and lacey gloves:

“My daughter is going through a phase of wearing jeans that are so tight she can’t bend her knees in them. I have a go at her and say, ‘Can’t you wear something else? You have a closet full of clothes and you wear the same pants every day. And please wear a belt because I don’t want to see your butt crack when you bend over,’” she tells the magazine. And Rocco is just as guilty. “My son never wants to take off his Gap army fatigue pants. They both wear the same thing over and over again.”

Husband, Guy Ritchie, on the other hand, knows better. “He’s very obedient in the clothes department!” says Madonna.
