<p>The CFDA is held every year as celebrities turn up for the star-studded event celebrating the fashion industry’s leading tastemakers.</p>

<p>The 49-year-old singer-actress came dressed in a custom Ralph Lauren ensemble, featuring a turtleneck crystal embellished crop top which showed off her toned midriff.

Both were in a vibrant saffron colour that she accessorised with 3.23-carat Harry Winston diamond link earrings and a ring.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As she took centre stage at the fashion awards, Lopez said, “I love fashion” and reflected on her origin, “Growing up in the Bronx loving fashion, to be here tonight amongst all these designers and artists and to be honoured for what I love to do anyway, it’s like a dream I am super excited.”</p>

<p>On her choice of attire, Lopez added, “I am wearing Ralph Lauren, a fellow Bronx native. It is all about the Bronx tonight!”</p>

I am truly humbled by how Versace has been embraced across the decades, across the world and across the generations. Thank you to the industry for your support of us, thank you to my team for their loyalty and incredibly hard work, thank you to my family and friends who have supported me more than they can know and thank you to the genius that was my brother Gianni.
