Kim Kardashian received the first-ever Influencer award at the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Fashion Awards on Monday evening.
“I’m super-honored, especially since it’s the first ever award that they’ve done like this, so that’s really meaningful to me,” she told ET’s Nischelle Turner before accepting the award. “I know this is all about fashion, but I think that, [with] where I’m at in my life now, if I can influence people in other ways — to take something close to their heart and use their platform to speak up — that’s what’s really important to me.”
Presented with the award by actress Busy Philipps, Kardashian joked about the irony of winning an fashion award, seemingly acknowledging the numerous headlines she has made for being naked or showing skin.
“I’m kind of shocked that I’m winning a fashion award when I’m naked most of the time,” she joked. “But this is seriously such an honor, so thank you to the CFDA.”
Showing off her toned tummy, the reality star wore a cream Rick Owens crop top and matching high-waisted skirt to the event at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City.
