The legendary Chaka Khan will receive top honors at the very first Beauty Icon Awards, presented by Bronner Bros., Vivace, and Red by KISS.
The celebration is set for Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Bronner Center of Performing Arts in Atlanta. Billed as a “live museum of beauty,” the event is designed to spotlight trailblazers whose creativity, vision, and influence have redefined beauty culture.
Hosted by journalist and media personality Segun Oduolowu, the ceremony promises to become a new staple in the beauty world, uniting legends and rising stars under one roof.
Executive producer Kelly Keith explained why honoring Khan was a perfect fit:
“Her music and presence have empowered generations, while her fearless style redefined beauty on her own terms. She is the embodiment of a beauty icon.”
