Madonna dons ‘ICON’ hat after touching down in NYC with three of her six children by her side… following European leg of The Celebration Tour
After spending the past two and a half months in Europe, Madonna and some of her immediate family returned to the US for the second leg of The Celebration Tour.
The legendary pop superstar, whose first retrospective tour highlights her 40-year recording career, was spotted Friday making her way through the turnstiles at JFK International Airport in New York City's Queens borough with several chaperones and at least three of her six children.
The ever-fashionable singer-songwriter showed off her travel style in black pants, which flared wide enough to cover both of her shoes, a black and white patterned sweater, a matching jacket and a scarf wrapped around her neck.
Madonna also wore an 'ICON' baseball cap over her platinum blonde locks, which were pulled into pigtails, and large dark sunglasses for the walk through the busy terminal.
As she made her way to a waiting vehicle just outside the airport exit, the proud mother had 11-year-old daughter Estere by her side most of the time, while her twin sister Stella and brother David, 18, were never far away goods. .

Estere, who has been showing off her dance moves during her mother's ongoing tour, could be seen chatting with the Material Girl.
Dressed in red and black splashy sweatpants with a black bomber jacket, the youngster had her long locks in a ponytail as she carried a backpack and briefcase during the walk through the turnstiles.
Her twin sister Stella also wore a black bomber jacket, but she opted to wear it over a white hoodie during the family's trip to the Big Apple ahead of the matriarch's next three concerts at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on 13, 14 and December 16. .
The eldest of Madonna's four adopted children, David, could also be seen walking alongside Estere, sometimes wearing brown cargo pants, a white sweatshirt and a black jacket from his mother's 1991 The Girlie Show Tour, in support of her album Erotica (1992 ).
The Malawi native, who was adopted when he was three, also wore a green baseball cap over his short black hair as he carried one bag and pushed the other on wheels.
Photographers followed the Like A Virgin star and her group all the way until they reached their waiting SUV.
Estere's twin sister Stella, who were both adopted from Malawi when they were five, could also be seen waiting to throw her bag in the car as soon as Madonna got into one of the back seats.
With five days before they resume The Celebration Tour, the family has plenty of time to get settled back into their sprawling Manhattan home, which is just a few blocks east of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, according to Hello magazine.
Following the three shows in Brooklyn, New York, Madonna's traveling show will continue across the US and Canada until her performance at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas on April 15, 2024.
She will then conclude the tour with five shows at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico, ending on April 26, 2024.
Not only does the Celebration Tour pay tribute to her long history of hit songs, Madonna is also using the platform to tell the story of how she became a global pop icon after arriving in New York City in 1978 with just $35 in her pocket.
It would be five years before she released her self-titled debut album in 1983, which shot her to the top of the pop world with hits such as Everybody, Holiday, Borderline, Luck Star and Burning Up.
