AceShowbiz - The Council of Fashion Designers of America's 2024 Awards, held on October 28 at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, was a night where sports met high fashion and daring style choices were celebrated. WNBA star Angel Reese, aged 22, took the red carpet by storm with her debut blonde hair, setting social media abuzz with a tease of her new look on her Instagram Stories to over 4.4 million followers.

Complementing her fresh look, Reese donned the Emma gown from the Simkhai Pre-Fall 24 collection, paired with a luxurious white feathery coat. The night was not short on glam as Reese also sported diamond necklaces and rings, and boasted a gifted Chanel bracelet. This appearance underscores Reese's burgeoning presence in the fashion world, further highlighted by her recent multi-year endorsement contract extension with Reebok, which includes her own signature shoe set to launch in 2026.

The night also honored the multi-talented Erykah Badu, who at 53, received the prestigious Fashion Icon award, joining an illustrious list of past recipients including Zendaya Coleman, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Lady GaGa. Badu's entrance was a dramatic spectacle, befitting her recognized flair. She wore an ensemble by Thom Browne, featuring an hourglass all-in-one chesterfield, sportcoat, embroidered cardigan, pleated skirt and trousers, all in a blend of black cashmere, mohair, wool flannel and silk faille, topped with an oversize jumpsuit in black three-ply mohair with black grosgrain tipping, and wingtip pumps in black patent leather. Her look was completed with a beaded headpiece and her signature statement face jewelry.

Badu's award not only celebrates her distinctive style and love for bold headwear but also her ability to blend elements from different worlds to create something grander. "This honor is amazing, and I do not take it 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. From the music I make, to the looks I put on, to the technology I'm developing, I'm always looking for innovative, exciting ways to be more expressive and connect with people, to be closer to nature," Badu expressed in a statement.

Hosted by Cynthia Erivo and presented by Amazon Fashion, the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards was not just a ceremony but a testament to the fusion of fashion, music and sports, celebrating figures who push the boundaries of style and creativity.
