The 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards, sponsored by Amazon Fashion, took place on Monday at the American Museum of Natural History. This year, the Fashion Icon award was given to the always-stylish Erykah Badu. Known for her unique fashion sense over the years, Badu arrived in a stunning black and white Thom Browne outfit with a face adorned in jewels. Her headpiece, decorated with crystals like malachite, onyx, and rose quartz, was a testament to why she perfectly deserved this prestigious honor.
Outkast’s André 3000, who shares a child named Seven with Badu, presented her with the award. He praised Badu for her effortless and unique fashion statements that are always true to herself.
