Legendary Hip Hop Icon, Jay-Z wears a custom FRÈRE suit jacket to accept the GLAAD Vanguard Award, When Beyoncé and Jay-Z accepted the Vanguard Award at last night’s GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles, they did so in elegant style. The couple, who was honored for their work promoting equal rights for the LGBTQ community, arrived at The Beverly Hilton in dual takes on tuxedo dressing. They appeared perfectly matched with Jay-Z in a classic white single-breasted blazer and pleated shirt from FRÈRE and Beyoncé wearing tulle accented heels and a black Alexander Wang mini-dress that mimicked the lines of his tux.
GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis previously said “When Beyoncé and JAY-Z speak, the world becomes inspired and when it comes to LGBTQ people, their voices of acceptance have been heard loud and clear. We could not be prouder to stand with them to send a message of love.” The Carters took to the stage to share their experiences with identity and the LGBTQ family members who helped shape their journey. Jay-Z spoke of his mother Gloria and her coming out, referencing her acceptance speech from last year’s ceremony when she was honored with a special recognition award for the song “Smile.”
Beyoncé and JAY-Z were the guests of honor at the GLAAD awards. Jay Z wears FRÈRE which has quickly become his go-to designer for his recent large events including, this years’ OSCARS Chateau event, his GRAMMY’s Roc Nation brunch & now the GLAAD awards. Jay & longtime stylist June Ambrose works closely with the Creative Director of FRERE, Davidson Frere to select unique fabrications and never seems to shy from a bright pop of color. The impeccable slim fit is quintessentially FRÈRE.
