It was the best kept secret of the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards in June: Beyoncé was in the house and the winner of the Fashion Icon prize. The Lemonade superstar surprised the crowd, delivering a heartfelt speech about the power of family, fashion, and female empowerment to an audience that included her husband Jay-Z, daughter Blue Ivy, and mother Tina. “You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower,” Beyoncé said. “To show people how to embrace their complications and flaws to see the true beauty and strength that’s inside all of us.”
