Badu to receive CFDA’s Fashion Icon Award

Dallas R&B legend Erykah Badu has been announced as the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s 2024 Fashion Icon. She will be honored at the annual CFDA Fashion Awards on Oct. 28.

The “queen of neo-soul” said in a statement she does not take the award for granted.

“I’ve always had a love for taking bits and pieces of the things I am attracted to, and creating something far more grand than the sum of those parts,” Badu said.
