You Better Work
The “On the Floor” artist rocked an ensemble that was truly unforgettable. The long-sleeved turtleneck was embellished with lots of sparkles and the full skirt made a bold statement.
She opted for her makeup to be a mix of orangey-nude tones to perfectly compliment her dress and bronzed skin. The singer completed the look with a long, slicked-back ponytail.

A Huge Honor
Jennifer has always been a style icon and fashion has played a very important role in her life. “When you realize the power of fashion at such a young age, even subconsciously, you know it’s going to be a big part of our life,” she admitted during her acceptance speech. The coveted award was presented by designer Tom Ford.

Started From the Bronx Now We’re Here
She continued, “I think we all realize the power fashion has from the very beginning when you wear your special dress and your daddy says, ‘Oh, you look so beautiful!’ or your grandma fawns over you. You understand that how people see you is important, and a lot of that is what you wear.”

A Lifetime of Learning
Jennifer’s success gave her a whole new outlook on what style meant. “After I started my career and it expanded into movies and music, I learned that it’s much more profound than that,” she explained. “Whether it’s in a movie role or a music video that sets a trend for pop culture, or the red carpet, or transcending into a character, or giving you the confidence you need to perform in front of 20,000 people, fashion is about the powerful moments it creates that can inspire you and the world around you.”

We Live for the Drama
The “I’m Real” singer had a cute reason for picking her designer for the evening. “I grew up in the Bronx — some of you may have heard. So, of course, I had to wear Ralph Lauren tonight, [who is] also from the Bronx! I know he understands a girl’s love of crop tops, ponytails, sparkles, and a little drama.” Yes, queen!

All the Greats
The brunette beauty shared a bit about her style icons growing up. “As a girl, I didn’t have a lot of clothes, but I would cut up my sweatshirts and jeans and make miniskirts out of them and I’d try to be like my idols — Madonna, Cyndi Lauper. I was also influenced by the people in my neighborhood and the explosion of hip hop at that time.”

Big Changes
She recounted her favorite designers, especially the ones who paved the way for different body types in the industry. She continued, “Slowly, curves began to be embraced, and girls wanted to combine street style with couture. I’m grateful to all of you for that.”

A Lot of Love
After thanking the copious amounts of designers and stylists who inspired her along the way, Jennifer took a moment to thank those closest to her. “I’d also like to thank my family, my babies Emme and Max, Alex, Tashi, and Ella,” the Vegas performer gushed about her kids, her partner and his daughters. “You guys make me feel like the MVP every day. You make me feel like the most beautiful person in the world just for being loved.”
