Oh boy, let me tell you about the time I dove headfirst into this whole Erykah Badu thing. You know, Erykah Badu, the singer? I’ve always been a fan of her music, but her style? That’s a whole other level. So, I saw this headline about her getting some fashion award, the “2024 Fashion Icon award” from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, or CFDA for short, and I thought, “I gotta get in on this.”

I started by watching some videos. On October 28th, 2024 she showed up to this CFDA Fashion Awards, and man, she made an entrance! The more I watched, the more I was like, “This is it. This is what I need to understand.”
I mean, she was wearing this crazy outfit by some designer, I’m pretty sure it is a designer named Thom Browne, and it was just so… her. It was like, she took fashion and made it her own.
So, I spent hours, days even, just looking at pictures of her, reading articles about her style, you name it. I was obsessed, haha, I started to understand what makes her style so unique. It’s not just about the clothes, it’s about how she wears them. She’s got this confidence, this presence.
And, it wasn’t just for show. She was being honored, they gave her the award, and it was clear why. She’s not just wearing clothes, she’s making a statement. She’s an icon, truly.
After all that, I felt like I finally got it. Erykah Badu’s style isn’t just about looking good, it’s about being yourself, unapologetically. It’s about taking risks and not being afraid to stand out. It’s inspiring, really.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of Erykah Badu’s style. It was a wild ride, but I learned a lot. And you know what? I might even try to incorporate a little bit of that Badu magic into my own wardrobe. Who knows, maybe I’ll become a fashion icon myself one day! Haha, just kidding… unless?
