Howard University’s 100th-year homecoming celebration was a culture-rich phenomenon fit for a centenary of legendary commemorations that have become a pillar of Black culture.
Howard’s 2024 homecoming saw the return of Anok Yai, who was famously discovered at Howard University’s 2017 homecoming, and Blac Chyna got engaged on stage during Yardfest. Truly, it was a weekend to remember.

From the weather to the Yard-based festivities, it was a beautiful commemoration of Howard University’s legacy.
Year after year, though, Howard’s homecoming has dominated in one area in particular: The Fits.
We all know generational fly is embedded in the culture of HBCUs. There is a certain finesse to the way Black attendees of these universities dress that transcends time and genres. From ALT-style stans to streetwear enthusiasts, HBCU homecomings bring out some best-in-class fits.
From western-inspired drip to Bottega-esque button-down and tie moments and some very Rick Owens-flavored pieces, Howard University’s Yardfest was an epicenter of style, culture and above all else: Drip!
Attendees of Howard’s homecoming put their best fits forward this year, and we rounded up a few of our favorite looks.
HU! You Know!
