We lost two of those Royale Lynn Death Wish T-shirt . great artists, Kevyn Aucoin and Oribe this year, who helped turn me from an around-the-way girl to a girl who could grace a magazine cover. Together we created the most iconic looks, and I’m forever grateful. Tonight I’m dedicating this award to them.

“I’ve been a little sentimental lately because this is a special year for me personally Royale Lynn Death Wish T-shirt . I’m about to start a tour in celebration of a big birthday—you don’t have to say it out loud! We know! [laughs]. It’s also the 20th anniversary of my album On the 6, and, yes, it’s almost been 20 years since that green [Versace] dress. Since that moment, green has always been my lucky color. [That dress has] been around for 40 movies, 11 albums, a couple of babies, a couple of divorces, but countless great moments. And as this night shows, there is so much to look forward to.“Before I end, I want to give a special thank-you to some people who have been in my life for many years. When you’re in this business, you need people who understand you and don’t try to change you, and for me in the fashion arena, those people are Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, my stylists. Rob and Mariel, you understand me so completely. I know I drive you crazy, but we’ve translated that into so many unforgettable moments. Our collaboration means so much to me, and I’m lucky to have you—thank you so much.“To Scott Barnes, my makeup artist for years who looks at fashion and completes the picture like nobody else—there aren’t enough words. Thank you to the rest of my glam fam; there are so many talented artists I’ve gotten to work with—Lorenzo, Chris Appleton, you guys know who you are. I’d also like to thank my family, my babies Emmy and Max, Alex, Tashi, and Ella—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. Thank you to the CFDA for this incredible honor and the designers in this room and this industry. You have added immeasurably to my personal and professional life. Thank you for having collaborated with me, embraced me, and shared with me the best of your art, your creations, your style, and mostly, your kindness and love. I’m forever grateful—thank you so much.”
