The Carters are here! Beyonce was joined by her husband, Jay Z, and the couple’s daughter, Blue Ivy, as she was honored at the CFDA Fashion Awards in NYC on Monday, June 6.
The picture-perfect family walked the red carpet together before making their way into Hammerstein Ballroom. The “Hold Up” singer, 34, turned heads in a gold and black striped Givenchy suit and an oversized black hat. The rapper, 46, looked dapper in a tux, while their adorable 4-year-old wore a black feathered frock and matching flats.
Beyonce was a surprise guest at the star-studded ceremony hosted by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The crowd applauded and stood when CFDA President Diane von Furstenberg announced the Grammy winner as the CFDA Fashion Icon winner.
“As long as I can remember, fashion has always been a part of my life. Its effect on me actually started before I was born,” Beyonce told the crowd in her acceptance speech. “When we were starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels, they didn’t want to dress four black, country, curvy girls. And we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother [Tina Knowles] was rejected from every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she used her talent and her creativity to give her children their dreams.”
As previously reported, fashion designer Rachel Roy was also in attendance on Monday night. Roy posted a photo about her “good hair” in April, which caused fans to think that she was “Becky with the good hair” from Beyonce’s song “Sorry,” which is about a marital affair. She later denied being Becky in a statement.
Beyonce has made no mention of Roy since the incident. She’s been busy performing on her Formation World Tour and promoting her second visual album, Lemonade. She next will take the stage at Citi Field in Queens, New York, on Tuesday.
