Jennifer Lopez to be awarded CFDA Fashion Icon Award


Jennifer Lopez is this year's CFDA fashion icon.

The multi-hyphenate will be given the award for her longstanding and global impact on fashion during the CFDA Fashion Awards, which will take place on June 3 in the Brooklyn Museum.

'Jennifer Lopez uses clothes as a way to express confidence and power,' CFDA Chairwoman Diane von Furstenberg said in a statement. 'Both designers and fans look forward to her fashion statements.'

'Jennifer Lopez's style is bold, uninhibited, and always memorable,' said Steven Kolb, President and CEO of the CFDA. 'Designers, including many of our CFDA Members, love to dress her for both stage and private moments.'

Known for gracing red carpets and stages alike with striking looks, Lopez follows in the footsteps of Naomi Campbell, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, Johnny Depp, and Beyonce who were previous winners.
