Gwen Stefani the multi-platinum recording artist will be honored at the 2019 E! People’s Choice Awards for her sartorial style as the recipient of this year’s Fashion Icon Award. Stefani is the second to receive the award in its history after Victoria Beckham took home the prize in 2018.
On Tuesday, E! announced the Grammy-winner as the one to be presented with the honor, which will occur during the live broadcast of the People’s Choice Awards on Sunday, Nov. 10 from 9pm to 11pm ET/PT.
“It’s an incredible honor to receive this year’s Fashion Icon Award at the E!’s People’s Choice Awards,” said Stefani. “As an artist, musician and entrepreneur, fashion has always served as a creative outlet for me to express my personality and music. I am so grateful to receive this award and continue to be inspired by those who stand apart and embrace their unique style and individuality.”
Additionally, Stefani told “Honestly, it’s bizarre, it’s crazy! It makes me think back to Anaheim and just looking through Vogue magazine and thinking, ‘Oh, those girls, that’s not real. I’ll never get my hands on those clothes. I’m just going to go to the thrift store and make my own clothes’…To get to this point where I’m getting an award for fashion, it’s kind of surreal.”
The musician is also a trendsetter, serving as the creative vision behind multiple commerce verticals. “Gwen Stefani is a global music artist, whose unique signature style and individuality has transcended time,” said Jen Neal, General Manager, E! News, Live Events and Lifestyle Digital.
“She has effortlessly evolved her success in music to fashion and beauty launching numerous popular lifestyle brands, and for all her many accomplishments we’re proud to name her our 2019 ‘E! People’s Choice Award’ Fashion Icon honoree.”
With Stefani’s offerings brilliantly mixing modern, aspirational glamour with wearable, fashion-forward streetwear, it’s no surprise that her brands have amassed a combined $1 billion in retail sales, solidifying that the “Hollaback Girl” artist has made her mark on the industry. To see if her show brings home the trophy, and also to catch whatever head-turning number she wears to the ceremony, be sure to tune into the live award show on Sunday, Nov. 10.
