Watch below…
Her speech was delivered before her daughter Blue Ivy, her aforementioned mother and husband of eight years Jay-Z before she hits the road to complete her ‘Formation World Tour.’

You are a self hating African who stays on the c*** train . A buck dancing c*** who dances around for white folks by putting other black people down while dancing for masta

DEATH!!! THE DESPERATION TO CLEAN FACE KIII!!!! M’KAY CINNARACIST WHATEVER YOU SAY. EVEN THO TGJ SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED YOUR NAME WHEN MODERATING @RIHNAVYS COMMENTS ????
I have been trolled many times on here. That is not always me writing as Cinnamon Girl. I don’t care if you believe me or not
L.O.L.
My mother , my mother , my uncle , my grandmom, my mother blurrr… what is she saying. So incoherent…
Molly haven’t you got your b**** ass dragged enough today? You Stan for the biggest flop in R&B sis.
@weezy sis it’s not just her saying she didn’t deserve the award all over social media there are Stan wars
What do sales have to do with cfda
NEXT >>> try to sound less pressed sis
Flops don’t have platinum plaques, durrrling
For once I agree she bought this award I think bey ask for it because her clothes ain’t selling no one showed up to the new York stores so bey need validation to the fashion world these award have become a f****** anything goes this woman is not a fashion icon I give her respect on performance but dressing girl bye bey dress like the Popeyes woman in the commercial
I see her calling drake soon for a collaboration it’s coming bey wants to be wining at all cost
Stay mad pressed Bxxtch! Hahahahahahhah!
I’m loving this real Beyoncé!! Not the over media trained one that gave generic speeches & interviews.. I’m from Texas & it’s liberating to see one of our own show love on such a large scale.. God bless you Bey
Real??? You couldn’t see her eyes following a teleprompter?? Hell, even the cadence of her speech screamed IM READING THIS SPEECH THAT SOMEONE ELSE WROTE…FROM A TELEPROMPTER. I don’t understand why she does this. It comes off dry, robotic and contrived. We know she has a country accent, so does Erykah Badu (also from Texas) but she has media trained her speech and still maintained a personality and some life in her voice. Beyonce sounded like Ben Stein ?
This award is bought and paid for to legitimize Ivy Park. I don’t care what anyone says. It’s as credible as her songwriting awards.
kiiii, since when is Trannyyonce a fashion icon? The kii’s honestly write themselves
Since ger her mother and mother and uncle and mother and grandmother… clothed her
She wants everything rih excel in that woman is red eye with envy Beyonce is a country bumpkin dressing fool with all her money she never looks right she bought this award pull strings and no one will take her serious in fashion next she will be on a boat posing like rih in bikini next selling tennis shoes the list goes on with all bey accomplishments she wants to be in rih it’s pathetic the older woman envy of the single they know bey country popeyes chicken don’t deserve this Kim k is more fashionable
Another award to add to the collection. Lmaoooo Beyoncé’s leotards are more iconic than most of the girls best looks!
I CANNOT WITH YONCE RECEIVING A FASHION ICON AWARD WHEN FASHION ISN’T HER FORTE!!! KIII!!! THE GIRLS ARE GOING TO BE PISSED!!!! ??????!!! Just more awards to add to her LEGENDARY COLLECTION!!!
It’s as credible as her songwriting awards and half of her Grammy’s.
She better read that TelePrompTer and sound professional✨✨✨✨What U Got Too say now Wendy Williams?✨✨✨
Ok!!! I was thinking the same thing!
riri collected this 1st,bee followed, simply means riri is da boss @least she’s worth it unlike diz r*****.
This outfit she’s wearing is….interesting…
Kiii How’s the Pigtina stan gunna come for someone’s speech, when her grammer is all kinds of fuxked up! Bawahahaha the DESPERATION to write fake quotes and try to downplay Bey is REAL!!!.
.
Death at the Slavi Bringing up fRih! Didn’t Caca receive this award before her? So did Cheatanna follow in Caca’s footsteps??? LMFAO!!!
Giving me janelke monae realness in that outfit Bey…

lolz,she couldn’t even make a fashion statement of her own rather she copied another artist look to a place where she’s gonna collect her fake fashion icon award.smh @getting an award for copying other artist,dunno y they keep shoving this old goat down our throat
Don’t know why you insist on crying like a wounded dog… STFU. Your stale words have no effect on Beyonce at all. She’s a winner and you’re a loser.????
LMFAO! WTF? What in the goddamn phūck? ??? Clearly she bought this like many of her accolades.
Even Lady Gaga deserves the Fashion icon award way more than this raggedy ass cougar. I CAN’T! ???
hey I missed you,where have you been(in my rihanna voice)
I agree gaga or someone else Beyonce is not a icon no one ever talk about her dressing what about jlo really this award was bought by them they probably donate a couple millions that’s how the industry works to some charity I see envy written all over this Beyonce see rih beat her in number one product placement I try supporting bey but she seems a bit jealous of her peers
Since 2010, Beyonce is the #1 most searched met gala dress.
So yes. People are checking
The Slavi is PRESSED’TTTT ???????
Beyonce sister should have won the award the industry is fake as f*** you know she bought this award and bey are friends with the council please the public is not buying that she a icon I would take Kanye over her at least his shoes on everyone feet Beyonce house of Derringer cancel her ivy park was a mess who wears ivy park really Beyonce image in fashion is looked at as section A recepients meet country she has no taste in clothes she a good performer her lightskin with money is getting her awards she really don’t deserve she stole her tour routine from a guy overseas look I give her credit for wining things for just been overated for a black woman

I’m so proud of mother bey she’s so grounded and humble and able to shake off the haters. That’s how you do it get into the game and make you print and do whatever you want.
She came and conquered thats that.
Go bey.
Beyonce’s style is very tangible to the average person yet sofiaticated.. She doesn’t go for futuristic fashion forwardness like others… Beyonce Is BEYONCÉ that’s enough & others recognize that & line in formation. My n**** yoncé wearing a Sunday pants suit for the pastors appreciation you better wear the fuc outta that s*** b****!!!
I just love her voice. It’s so calming & mature. Not all annoying, high pitched or overly dramatic/loud. She spoke well & deserves this award. Congrats Queen-Bey.
I love her speech tho
But all the times she’s speak about her mother… in all of her interviews over the years its my mom did that …please we get it ..
Lovely speech. I personally have not always been a fan of Beyoncé’s fashions. However, I did live for her Thotyoncé era (2003 – 2006) when she was all about glamour, sequins, mini dresses and a head-to-toe bronzed look. It kills me when people try to use her apparent lack of style as shade when at the end of the day, Bey is most recognised for her MUSICAL TALENT. Something these girls y’all go up for that top best-dressed lists don’t seem to have very much of. Yes, she’s a pop star and image is everything in that world but she’s never used fashion as a crutch. At the end of the day, this is just another award to add to get mantle. Accept that it’s been done and just move on.
Congrat Queen!!! That speech was really moving tho
Her and her pest are getting dragged to hell and back by the Navy on TSR Instagram post, rotfl!!! With her old “Inspired” ass!
I love bey but I don’t know what the hell she be wearing. Sometimes it looks like she went through Madeas closet smh. Glass she’s is adding accolades and awards though. Her and rih are making a name for black female artist this year. I have a feeling they are gonna dominate this entire year of 2016.
Glad*
What do you say…congratulations I guess.
This award confused me. Beyonce is not know for her individual/personal style, Solange yes, Beyonce not so much. If they were going discuss her entertainment style than that would’ve been different.
Congrats anyway
Congratulations Bey. You are a major influence through everything that you achieve. Such a role model and LEGENDARY!! They say you’re not fashionable but now you have this award to shut your haters down. In your own words, *Always remain gracious, best revenge is your paper* A real ICON!
Beyonce is now more elegant and eloquent than ever! Her speaking voice even exudes a certain strength and power! I just love the huskiness of it! It’s strong, moody and very sultry… I’m proud of Bey’s journey and I’m just glad to see that she’s grown into a mature woman in every way imaginable!
I must say that I’m truly in awe of Beyonce these days! I was thinking of how unpredictable she has been since ‘4’. She went from a superstar (I Am… Sasha Fierce) to a true Pop Goddess! She’s checked all the boxes, initially playing by the book and then later reached a point in her career/status where she became an artist fully capable and mighty enough to go outside of the box! Bey’s done it all perfectly in the early stages of her career (which was supposed to happen that way), but now she’s above that! She’s regal and legendary now! Yes, I said LEGENDARY… I’ve been stanning for B for a long time and it’s taken me up until now to call her a legend! I was saying almost there for a while… I’ve seen true legends, so I knew that success doesn’t equal greatness! I know a legend when I see one! Bey was half way there after IASF, she was building artistic integrity with ‘4’, self titled put her on the same block where the legends dwell and now with this ‘Lemonade’ era she’s in the MutherFKin’ house! *Kanye Voice*
Happy belated bday sis. Yes she did that speech, I was like is that Beyoncé . She spoke with so much POWER!!!!
Awwww, thanks love! Happy belated birthday to you as well (or your mom). Sorry my head is all over the place these days, but I retain a lot of randomness! I know one of you guys are a May Gemini! … and yes, Beyonce is so grown woman now – making all these racks, all these racks! It’ll be almost 2 weeks later, but tomorrow will wrap up my birthday celebration, I’m seeing Bey on the Formation tour! 🙂 I wish you was a new yorker Rich, I know I would have met you there! 🙂
… and a Happy belated to T.I.T.S and the other slayful Gems that’s not coming to mind right now! 🙂
Lmao. She’s not a fashion icon in any way shape or form. No one looks to her for fashion
Just like that bogus songwriting award she got years ago. A joke
LMAO
Iam Beyoncé biggest fan, yes her everyday street style ain’t the best because she just wears whatever she wants,she just don’t give a f***, but her stage and videos wardrobe is everything , she slays red carpet always one of the best dressed and everybody is always waiting for her appearance ,and lets not talk about her influence, all the b****** were wearing that Jean short ,white shirt and red high heels in 2003, and lately thé famous jersey swimsuit from feeling myself…being a fashion icon is also about that ,stay mad,thé queen is winning
Look who is triying to drag beyonce kery Hilton fan before to come to beyonce worry about your bankrupt star she has no coins going in her pocket since thé featuring with Kanye West so better help her and find some rapper to get her pregnant soon like all instagram b****** ok let’s be clear b**** bye…..
A certified Fashion Icon lmao the navy is pressedtttttt.
How rihanna did it first and younger
So all the achievement of Rihanna, we can say “someone did it first” ?
What risk has she ever taken with fashion to even get this award?
Thank you! I was saying the same thing to myself. She looks wack in the get up she got on accepting this award! With that big ass Sunday’s Best Church hat she got on LOL!
Johnny come lately Tefloncye always strapping on to someone else’s stuff Tina t, mj, jlo, rihanna she has no identy of her own
Now this right here is some funny shyt! LMAO! REALLY?? How the hell did she get this award with her Country Time Lemonade bumpkin self!? Theifyonce always tries to look creative & edgy but she fails all the time. All hail queen Rih Rih….now that’s who should be accepting this award, she slays for the heavens!

I’m sorry but I’ve never been a fan of Beyonce’s fashion tastes. Good for her but this award is a stretch!
Haters are sad! Congratulations Beyonce. Keep in mind people, female artist in the music industry of fashion where many different styles. May not always be glamorous or half naked. The fashion you wear or clothes you put on tells who you are, your personality, and story. I don’t know y people hate so much, give this woman her props. They clearly chosed her of this year to get the award for fashion icon. It’s craz for haters, not everyone, but haters to come up with delusional lies about she buying award. That’s real stupid. Come on people. Really! Even next year it will be a different female artist that will get the fashion icon award. I just don’t understand the hate.
One more note: 2016 was definitely Beyonce year! Keep doing you Beyonce, I definitely ain’t mad at cha!!!
Who ever wrote that speech did great job and she spoke like COUNTRY GIRL LOVE IT!
flawless
Why didn’t she thanks her other siblings little brother & little sister. Her style looks like from the 70’s
Very well spoken, but it takes a while to master that teleprompter. One thing to remember, its better when you have the one that stationed on the left, right and middle.
It gives the appearance of one not actually reading a teleprompter. Now that outfit is hot, but it would have been better if she had it made into a mid length scuba dress, with a hat that was a little bit smaller.
Fashion icon kikikikiki ???
