Insecure star and writer Issa Rae made a statement while hosting the Council of Fashion Designers of America's fashion awards this year. The first black host decided to wear pieces from all-black designers, including Sergio Hudson, Jason Rembert and Victor Glemaud.
For a glittering blue pantsuit, she and designer Kerby Jean-Raymond decided to add a belt last minute (morning of!) that read, "Every N— Is a Star."
"I didn't know what she going to do. I just slipped it over her, and I know her sense of humor, we've hung out, and so I knew that she was going to wear it. I had no doubt about it, but she was really down for it," Jean-Raymond said.
He explained that it's meant to celebrate all black people: "We never talk about who they love, people with their children and their love for their families. It's always a tragic figure or as firsts — first black man to do this, first black person to do this — but what about just a bus driver?" he said. "We don't have to be Jay-Z, we don't have to be Kerby Jean-Raymond, we don't have to be Issa Rae, we can just be who we are and just exist and we're still superstars in our own rights, no matter what we do."
