Designer and CFDA Chairwoman Diane von Furstenberg presents Beyoncé with the Fashion Icon Award at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards in collaboration with Swarovski, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City.
1:53 “SHE IS AN ARTIST, FASHION ICON, A GLOBAL ENTREPRENEUR, A MOTHER, A WIFE, A PHILANTHROPIST, A CULTURE FORCE, A DISRUPTIVE GENIUS FEARLESS IN HER ART, A RISK TAKER AND A RULE BREAKER” speaks for itself definitely well deserved. Beyoncé is definitely THE GOAT 👑🐝!!!
Beyoncé acceptance speech was beautiful. I love how she honored her mother, uncle and grandmother. I cried when she talked about her mother and how high end labels didn’t want to dress them. Beyoncé is truly an ICON!!!
wow, this speech is the exact reason why I love Beyonce and have such respect and admiration for her, she knows her roots where she comes from and she doesn't hide it, she proud of it and thats kind of character is hard to come by these days in celebrities. Beyonce is the most humble celeb hands down and the has the kindest soul.
I love how she talked about her mother because during Destiny’s Child her mother created most of their clothes and did their hairstyles. Tina went above and beyond ❤️
She got me when she spoke beautifully about her grandmother her own mother and uncle They were the truly blazers that helped her to achieve beyond n were such a inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼
She's so deserving. Really take a look at her career, listen to her voice, watch her dancing harder than her backups, and acknowledge the work ethic and creative involvement she has in her bodies of work and performances. Undeniable. Over 25 years doing this. People forget how long she's been relevant. She's so so deserving.
Designers refused to give them dresses???? I know for sure, they will regret for the rest of their life... Her life story is very inspiring and she deserve to celebrate every second of her life....
Amazing and powerful speech, I am touched. Beyoncé truly understands the impact fashion has on the world and how it can effect everyone. Also she just looks amazing in that suit, it's probably worth more than my college tuition so I'm glad she's wearing it.
I guess it's common sense that when you are new to the business you don't have the big money just yet but I would have never known that all of her outfits weren't high end because they all were really beautiful. That just goes to show that her mom has good taste and is really talented at least hang on to it was sewing and everything. This touched me!! Dreams definitely come true!
Maybe she wore the hat deliberately to cover her eyes, as she knew that she would be emotional about this. I think it was perfect, it lent a touch of mystery, and coyness. It allowed us to see that behind the bright lights and glamour, these celebrities feel deep emotions just like the rest of us
i think it was because she was in the middle of her lemonade era, and in the midst of her formation world tour - she even had a show that night. I think her outfit for that night was to keep in touch with the new orleans gothic-type theme of her tour! the hat was most likely a nod to her tour and the formation video i think
Baby your mother is so so proud 🥲 here’s to life!!!! Blessing to all women! My mother too was a special influence on everyone she physically encountered.
How is she keeping mj alive, when they are both two different ppl. And she's has accomplished way more than mj and way past him now in terms of music career. This is about beyonce not mj. Its time ya'll stop the hating and give her the props she deserves. Everytime they say beyonce someone will mention mj. Its enough mj is gone and this is beyonce era and it has been for 20+years now.
That was a bueatufull speech and inspired all that love she is the best thing that the world created I wonder if she's thinking about becoming president cause I know I voting her number one
Beyonce is the definitely influenced by our very own Diva Katharine Hepburn. Just look at what she is wearing. She is the owner of the House of Deron and Ivy Park. We are as a people watching our CFDA Awardee seriously supporting her. Congratulations Beyonce Knowles Carter
