The clothes weren't the only glamorous part of a Trans Day of Visibility fashion show raising funds for the Trans Justice Funding Project; Madonna showed up, as did trans model Alex Consani.
Pink News reported that "the Mother, Daughter, Holy Spirit fashion show fundraiser.... featured (as per Rolling Stone) appearances from the pair, with both celebs also taking to social media to remind their fans of the importance of Trans Day of Visibility."
Madge celebrated the occasion with some snaps from the day's celebrations, and she also took a moment to recall a personal triumph.
"Happy Trans Visibility Day!!" the Queen of Pop posted. "And Happy 40th anniversary of my first film- Desperately Seeking Susan!!"
"We celebrated this weekend by attending a fashion show called, MOTHER -DAUGHTER-HOLY SPIRIT!! All money raised will go to the Trans Justice Funding Project!"
The "Vogue" singer signed off with, "Thank you, to All for showing up".
Consani took to Instagram Stories to share a photo of herself as a child wearing a sparkling tiara.
"It's important, now more than ever to remind ourselves how beautiful, powerful, and creative our community is," the trailblazing model captioned the image.
"We must lead with love and understanding, even when those around us don't care to do the same," Consani added. "Listen to the trans people around you, give them love and let them know they are heard."
