Erykah Badu‘s fashion has long been considered iconic, and now she has an award to prove it. The musician was presented with the Icon Award at the CFDA Fashion Awards held in New York City on Oct. 28. Her ex and longtime friend Andre3000 presented her with the trophy.
True to form, Badu made a splash on the red carpet in a bold Thom Browne ensemble which was set off by black shoes with sharply pointed toes. She wore a thickly layered black outfit with white trim and a colorful headpiece.
Badu rounded out the oversized silhouette with a pair of patent leather brogue pumps from the American brand. The shoes featured perforations along the upper in addition to a sloped stiletto heel.
