The 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards, hosted by Amazon Fashion, lit up Monday night at the American Museum of Natural History. This year’s spotlight was on Erykah Badu, who received the Fashion Icon Award. Known for her fearless and creative style, Badu made a grand entrance in a black and white Thom Browne outfit, complete with sparkling facial embellishments. Her headpiece, decorated with crystals like malachite, onyx, and rose quartz, perfectly captured her signature look and why she earned the honor.
Andre 3000, a member of Outkast and father to Badu’s child, presented her with the award, praising her for her one-of-a-kind fashion sense and how she uses style as a form of self-expression.
The night also celebrated other fashion trailblazers, including Michael Kors, Daniel Roseberry, and Isabel Toledo. Celebrities brought their A-game to the red carpet, each making bold and memorable fashion choices.
JT, formerly of City Girls and now a solo artist, turned heads in a daring Guvanch outfit with buckles running from top to bottom. LaLa channeled jungle royalty in a zebra-print Jacquemus dress, paired with dotted calfskin heels and layered chokers. Ciara kept it sleek and modern in a black and white Vera Wang look, featuring a folded skirt and platform boots.
Winnie Harlow looked like she stepped out of a fairytale in a dreamy Kate Barton gown, evoking classic princess vibes. Teyana Taylor showed off her dancer’s figure in a sultry black LaQuan Smith dress with bold cutouts. Victoria Monét also rocked a black LaQuan Smith design, proving she can pull off any style effortlessly.
Paris Hilton stayed true to her fashion-forward reputation in a red 3D floral mini dress by Oscar De La Renta. Angel Reese looked radiant in a white halter dress by Simkhai, topped with a white fur coat and maroon heels that added a touch of drama.
Kylie Jenner, never one to shy away from a fashion risk, impressed in a black Jean Paul Gaultier dress with a unique textured pattern. Tyla brought youthful energy in a black lace Gucci dress layered over lime green boy shorts, finishing the look with strappy heels that added an extra edge.
