Eryka Badu is known for her music and countless contributions to society, but she is also singled out for her eccentric and unusual style.
Recently, she provided us with a taste of her own Covid-19 prevention wear on Instagram. Badu wore a hooded white HAZMAT suit spray painted with Louis Vuitton symbols. She then took things a step further and paired it with an XXL LV hand bag and a pair of black furry heels to the Texas Film Awards. She captioned the picture “ Social Distancing Couture by E. Badu”. If you think about it, it’s the perfect way to take caution against the virus and look good doing so.
Many other celebrities have also been sporting Hazmat suits in a very fashionable way. Naomi Campbell was seen wearing a similar Hazmat suit and N95 face mask. She even filmed a YouTube video giving others tips on how be cautious when traveling. Check it out below.
This has opened up some interesting conversations about the future of the fashion industry. I don’t know about you, but I am interested to see where it is headed.
