Lauryn Hill delivered one of the night’s best moments at the Grammys with an elaborate tribute honoring the late D’Angelo and Roberta Flack. The performance brought together a powerful group of artists including Saadiq, Lucky Daye, Anthony Hamilton, October London, Bilal, Chaka Khan, Leon Thomas, Lalah Hathaway and more, creating a multi-generational celebration of musical heritage.
The tribute also acknowledged influential voices lost in the past year, including Angie Stone, who anchored the performance with remembrance and reverence. The moment reached an emotional peak when Wyclef Jean joined Hill on stage, turning the tribute into an unexpected Fugees reunion. The group closed with “Killing Me Softly”, a clear nod to Roberta Flack, whose original recording cemented the song’s place in music history.
For the occasion, Hill wore a Carolina Herrera Spring 2026 gown, which featured a fluid, floor-length silhouette and restrained elegance that matched the gravity of the moment. Styled by Raheem Morris and Fashionista Latin NYC, the look reinforces Hill’s signature approach to fashion — timeless, intentional, and rooted in presence rather than excess.
A tribute defined by legacy, collaboration and cultural impact. warm! Or hmm..?
