Mitch Winehouse, trap alias Mr. Wipe Down, honored the memory of his late daughter with his wardrobe again like any real G would at the 2013 Amy Winehouse Foundation Inspiration Awards and Gala in New York City on Thursday night (March 21). That airbrushed denim suit is happening any day now.

Jennifer Hudson performed three songs at the event, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd of a few hundred. Nas, who was nominated for a Grammy with Winehouse earlier this year for their collaboration “Cherry Wine,” earned an award, accepting in a video.
