Look through the singer's singular style moments before she's presented with the Fashion Icon Award at the 2024 CFDA Awards tonight.
The moniker “Fashion Icon” gets thrown around quite frequently nowadays, but few better personify the term’s true meaning than Erykah Badu. The singer, honored with a long overdue Fashion Icon Award at the 2024 CFDA Awards, has always marched to the beat of her own drum—both on and off the stage.
Badu shot the fame in the late ’90s and quickly carved out a bold lane herself on the red carpet. During the early stages of her career, Badu wore bold, colorful confections from predominately Black designers like the famous two-tone gown and matching head wrap she wore to the 2000 Academy Awards. Badu has since gone on to don some of fashion’s top labels—from Rick Owens and Marni to Riccardo Tisci’s Givenchy—all while never loosing sight of her red carpet signatures.
