The singer wore not one but two dramatic hats by Thom Browne.
—a black suit with a dramatic overcoat, not one but two hats, and pointy, shiny stiletto boots—it’s hard to immediately see the sportswear inspiration. But look a bit more closely and you’ll notice the football-jersey mesh used in the top hat, the thumb holes in the tuxedo shirt, the hiking laces on the boots.pulled on his experiences as an athlete, as well as America’s love affair with sports, to create a look that was just perfectly Badu.
It wouldn’t be an Erykah Badu look without a dramatic statement hat, and Browne dreamed up two. Of course, there had to be a sky-high top hat; it’s Badu’s signature. The second was a shorter top hat, covered in the mesh used for football jerseys. Browne affixed a movable lace fencing mask to the latter. Worn up, it made the whole piece look more like a helmet. Worn down and Badu was ready to take out an épée and yell, “En garde.
Getting ready at the Carlyle hotel, Badu got her dramatic hot-pink eye makeup done by makeup artist Melanie Hunter and her pin-straight hair styled by Melanie Harris. Her hands were heavily adorned in golden and black jewelry pieces. One was simply a cast of her right ring finger with a gold ring. Two others went over her short oxblood red manicure by Victoria Bah like golden acrylics, or Wolverine’s claws. “I’m not as much into fashion as I’m into personal style,” Badu says.
After posing for some photos with both hats , Badu was ready to hit the red carpet with Lil Uzi Vert and sit down inside the gala alongside Sharon Stone, Pete Davidson, Uzi, and Jimmy Fallon. See how she got ready for the night below.
