WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Toni Braxton Steals the Show at Her Son’s Graduation — And Not Everyone Was Ready for It It was supposed to be Diezel Braxton’s big day — and to be fair, it absolutely was. The youngest son of Grammy-winning icon Toni Braxton just graduated from Howard University, and we’re sending all the confetti and congratulations his way. But let’s just say… his mom might’ve gotten more camera time than the grads. Toni pulled up to the Howard graduation looking like she just stepped off a fashion runway — in a black lace outfit that had jaws dropping from the VIP section all the way to the bleachers. While most parents were decked out in sensible blazers and safe wedges, Toni gave us high-fashion drama, unapologetic glam, and a subtle reminder that she’s still that girl. According to some attendees, other parents were taking photos of Toni instead of their own kids. And honestly? We get it. The look was that good. She paired the lacy number with a sleek bob, flawless makeup, and all the confidence of a woman who’s been giving us hits and headline-worthy looks for decades. But while the outfit had fans cheering online, it also sparked a little debate — because, of course it did. Some folks on social media felt the outfit was a bit too risqué for a graduation ceremony, with a few pearl-clutching commenters suggesting she “could’ve saved that for the BET Awards.” Others, however, were living for the fashion slay and reminding everyone that Toni Braxton’s fashion DNA has always been bold, fearless, and fab. One fan tweeted, “Toni Braxton showed up to Howard graduation looking like the main event, not the plus-one — and I support her rights and her wrongs.” Another chimed in, “Toni Braxton wore black lace to her son’s graduation because she’s Toni Braxton. What did y’all expect — capris and flats?” It’s worth noting that Toni has been incredibly open and proud when it comes to her son Diezel, who has grown up largely outside of the public spotlight. Diezel was diagnosed with autism as a child, but Toni later shared that he was no longer on the spectrum and had overcome significant challenges over the years. Watching him walk across that graduation stage was a milestone that clearly meant everything to the singer — so we’re not surprised she showed up dressed to celebrate. And while yes, Diezel earned his diploma — we’re pretty sure his mom earned an unofficial honorary degree in Slay Studies. Toni Braxton didn’t just attend graduation — she gave it a headline. And honestly? That’s the kind of main character energy we love to see from our R&B legends. Congratulations, Diezel — and yes, your mom’s outfit was iconic
