Television personality Kim Kardashian will be honoured with the Fashion Icon Award at the 2021 People's Choice Awards for crossing various milestones in the fashion world.
The 40-year-old reality star "will be honored for her keen fashion sense, her unprecedented entrepreneurial success, and single-handedly transforming the fashion industry through her innovative designs and trend-setting style over the past decade," said a press release from Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Entertainment Live Events, Specials & E! News, NBCUniversal Entertainment Television and Streaming.
"For nearly two decades, Kim Kardashian West's style evolution has disrupted and influenced trends on a global level and cemented herself as a force to be reckoned with within the fashion industry."
The event will be held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on December 7 when Kim Kardashian will also receive two other awards.
Kim Kardashian leveraged her reality show stardom to build a lucrative brand that let her fortune have exponential growth with her Skims shapewear, lounge lines, KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance offerings.
In addition to all ventures, she also launched a mobile game in 2016 that earned her over $50 million. Her wealth ultimately landed her a place in Forbes’ billionaire list in April of this year.
