JAY Z AND BLUE IVY AT THE FCDAs TO SUPPORT BEYONCE

At last night’s CFDAs, Beyoncé, wearing a sparkly Givenchy tux and a generously brimmed hat, was honored as this year’s Fashion Icon. In a rare public speech, the Lemonade singer paid tribute to her mother, grandmother, and uncle—her very first designers.

“My mother and my uncle, God rest his soul, made all of our first costumes, individually sewing hundreds of crystals and pearls, putting so much passion and love into every small detail,” she said, adding: “My mother is fabulous and beautiful and she’s here tonight. My mother, my grandmother, and my uncle are always with me so I cannot fail. My mother actually designed my wedding dress, my prom dress, my first CFDA Awards dress, my first Grammy dress, and the list goes on and on.”
