There were a lot of big winners at the People’s Choice Awards, which took place at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Tuesday, December 7th – including Halle Berry, who received the People’s Icon Award, and Christina Aguilera, who received the first ever Music Icon Award. And Kim Kardashian was among those big winners, as the reality TV star turned fashion mogul was the very worthy recipient of the Fashion Icon Award – and we couldn’t believe our ears when we heard her acceptance speech!

While accepting the Fashion Icon Award – while wearing a head-turning skintight black jumpsuit which came complete with a blacked-out eye mask – the KKW Beauty founder started off by saying that winning the accolade was a “pinch me” moment, given her origins as a closet organizer and Paris Hilton’s assistant. But then things took an interesting turn, as she began to thank her estranged husband, Kanye West – who now officially goes by the name Ye – hinting that the relationship she now has with some of the world’s biggest designers is all down to the 44-year-old rapper and Yeezy designer. We wonder what her 28-year-old boyfriend, SNL comedian Pete Davidson, had to say about her speech…

"I started off as a closet organiser and a stylist so to win a fashion award, it’s a ‘pinch me’ moment," the 41-year-old SKIMS founder's speech began. "Designers are willing to work with me and there was a time when they weren’t. So many amazing designers like Zac Posen who really believed in me or probably got talked into it by getting a call from Kanye."

She continued: "And thank you to Kanye even for introducing me to the fashion world. I fell in love with fashion and I’m so inspired by so many people. This is like a dream to wake up and wear these amazing clothes." Does this mean that Kim has forgiven him for his Thanksgiving Prayer antics?

Kim wasn’t the only Kardashian to walk away with a gong at the awards ceremony, as younger sis Khloé Kardashian – who looked phenomenal in a sequin mini dress – won the Reality Star of 2021 prize.

But that's not all, as Keeping Up with the Kardashians won the Reality Show of 2021 award, which was accepted by Kim, Khloé, and their momager Kris Jenner. Kim described winning the award as "a bittersweet moment" due to the show being officially over, adding that it has been an "incredible 14-year ride." Another successful night for the Kardashian family!
