Erykah Badu to be the face of Tom Ford’s new fragrance

In a melding of funk meets fashion, Vogue UK reports that Tom Ford has tapped singer Erykah Badu to be the face of his new and as yet unnamed fragrance for women. That’s kind of an offbeat mashup, no?

I think Erykah Badu has a beautiful face, but she’s always seemed more earth mama than high fashion to me. Tom Ford is know for his risqué fragrance ads, so I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do with the ever-fab Ms. Badu.
