Avian influences have been seen in all sectors of fashion since we first began spotting the style in the summer.
Tyra Banks decided to wing it when she appeared at the BET Honors awards gala in a stunning dress, announcing to the world that feathers still have the fashion world a flutter. She wore a strapless Georges Chakra gown that blossomed elegantly from the stitching below her bust, cascading down to the floor, leaving her feet entirely covered. The top of the dress plunged downward, black feathers fanning out to draw attention to her cleavage. The black strap of feathers continued around the back of the dress, but the material below it did not, leaving the dress open to flaunt her curvaceous figure.
