Upon being presented with this year’s Icon award at Billboard Women in Music 2025 by next-gen R&B star Summer Walker, Erykah Badu didn’t waste any time drilling down to the heart of the occasion.

Badu’s bodacious bodysuit drew comparisons to historical figures, ancient sculptures, and ongoing beauty trends.

The "booty suit," as Hasbany called it on her Instagram, lit up in strategic regions when Badu performed her classic, “Annie,” live on stage, and it was a sight to behold in the person, with some online calling it a “cultural reset” for stage wear.
