Taylor Momsen has faced a fair amount of criticism and cynicism in the face of her burgeoning musical career. With her band, Pretty Reckless, she makes neo-grunge in the vein of Courtney Love, miles away from the radio pop of most of her peers -- which some people scoff at because she's a.) only 17 and b.) on "Gossip Girl."
Well, Momsen has got at least one family in her corner, and it's pretty well known. Taylor Momsen has been named the face and celebrity muse of the Material Girl clothing line by Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon.
Taylor Momsen recently took part in a photo shoot for the line, where she was styled by Lola (which is what Lourdes goes by). Apparently Madonna picked Momsen because of her passion for music and her fashion acumen -- she certainly has that; check out this opinionated interview on the subject.
Madge isn't the only one fawning over Lil' Jenny Humphrey. Fashion designer John Galliano has chosen her to be the face of his new perfume, which will be launching this fall.
Check out more photos of Taylor Momsen from the shoot and watch a video from the set below. Material Girl will be available, exclusively at Macy's, on August 3.
