Singer, businesswoman and fashion icon, Jennifer Lopez will receive an accolade for her bold, fashion style at the CFDA awards in June 2019
2019 started off on a high with the global icon who has been successfully killing it in showbiz for decades and recently been engaged to her fiance, Alex Rodriguez. Growing up watching her gracefully slay the music stage, box office and those red carpet moments, JLO is by far one of my favourite entertainers, so I couldn’t help but being excited when I saw that she’ll add to her collection another award for her fashion prowess. The Council of Fashion Designers of America broke the news on Instagram, revealing J.Lo as the recipient of the award. She will join in the likes of Naomi Campbell, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Pharrell in collecting this award.
