Amid the gorgeous gowns and dazzling jewelry, it sometimes gets lost that fashion is an artform. The most influential and famous names of that art were honored Monday night at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards. In addition to recognizing the best designers of the year, the event also celebrated Erykah Badu’s trendsetting, unapologetically authentic style with the fashion icon award.

In case you’re wondering what guests like Tyla; Law Roach; Teyana Taylor; GloRilla; and Ciara eat at an awards dinner like this, according to USA Today, they dined on “dinosaur puff pastry-topped chicken pot pies.” We suppose you can’t go wrong with pot pie. If you missed the big night, don’t worry, you can relax in your favorite sweatpants or pajamas and check out our recap of Black celebs’ best looks from the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards.
