Nicole Kidman, Priyanka Chopra, Shailene Woodley and More Looked Amazing at the InStyle Awards
Celebrities flooded the Getty Center for the 2016 InStyle Awards in Los Angeles on Monday night. The event is designed to honor Hollywood’s elite and the team’s behind them that shape fashion on the red carpet, and the stars did not disappoint this year.
The magazine’s second annual show brought in a number of versatile, on-trend looks, from jaw-dropping couture gowns to tapered, high-fashion pants suits. The first notable arrival of the night was Nicole Kidman in a black and white Atelier Versace gown, which featured a particularly high slit. “My mom made all my clothes when I was a little girl and then when I got bigger I suddenly had people like Lagerfeld and Tom Ford and Alexander McQueen and Galliano making clothes for me and I get to wear those extraordinary things,” she told People. “It's kind of amazing. That's like fairytale stuff, right?"
Other honorees included Shailene Woodley, Tom Ford, and stylist Leslie Fremar. Ford received the Designer of the Year award from Bradley Cooper, and the Advocate Award was appropriately awarded to Shailene Woodley, who recently was arrested in North Dakota for protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. She used her acceptance speech as a platform to advocate for her cause, saying, “We can’t stay silent anymore, and we can’t die idle.”
The Breakout Style Icon Award was awarded to Pryanka Chopra in a moving speech by Usher, in which he touched on everything from her intelligence to her philanthropic work. “Truly, if style is more than just cool clothing and really about inner and outer beauty, passion, and compassion, Priyanka is the personified, iconic, remarkable, incredible, style icon," he said.
Chopra was more than happy to accept the award and mused on her feelings of what style truly is in her acceptance speech. “I truly believe that style is a representation of your own personality and trying to find clothes that make you feel like you are what you wear,” she said, “and that's what I've always tried to do with my clothes.”
