Jennifer Lopez took home the People's Icon Award at the People's Choice Awards last night, and the 51-year-old singer ushered in the holidays by wearing a festive red mini dress by
Christian Siriano. J.Lo had her hair styled in a high ponytail and wore a seasonally-fitting red lip with the look. The dress was short, giving Lopez the chance to show off her toned legs and stylish clear heels:
Lopez got a little emotional during her acceptance speech on the broadcast, wiping a tear away after watching a message from her 12-year-old twins Emme and Max.
She reflected on the year the world has had, saying, "2020 was no joke, right? I mean before 2020, we were obsessing about winning this award, getting nominated for that award. We were caught up on who sold the most records or who had the biggest box office opening or crazy stuff like did we get the latest drop of the latest sneakers before everybody else. But not this year. This year was the great leveler. It showed us what mattered, what didn't, and for me, reinforced what matters most: people. All of us. Together, helping each other, loving each other, being kind to each other. And the importance of that connection, that human touch, and I realize it’s what I strive for in everything I do, to reach people, to touch people. That’s what we all want, those shared experiences, to know we’re not in this alone. Your belief and your faith in me motives me to keep going and sometimes, when I’m tired or beaten down like a lot of us have been this year, it’s my family, my friends, my babies, and my fans, you guys, who have lifted me up when I couldn’t lift myself and I am so grateful to have you, to have that in my life."
