Jennifer Lopez Honored At amFAR Gala!

Jennifer Lopez was honored for her humanitarian efforts at the amFAR Gala in NYC tonight! Jennifer looked amazing in a blue Tom Ford gown. Her date for the event was Kenneth Cole, who is on the Board of Directors.

Josh Wood, who produced the amFAR event told FashionWeekDaily:

Jennifer does a huge amount of humanitarian work, which I think gets overshadowed by how famous she is. I’ve been friendly with her publicist Mark Young as well as [her manager] Benny Medina and pitched the idea of trying to do something to honor her for amfAR for quite a while. But the dates never worked out. We wanted to honor her for being such an icon. This is called the Inspiration Gala: it’s all about people who inspire us! Not only has she contributed to amfAR’s mission, but she has her own foundation and she’s worked with UNICEF and she’s traveled all over the world helping charities. She’s a fashion icon, too.

Jennifer accepted the Humanitarian Award and became a bit emotional on stage. If a video pops up, we’ll be sure to post it! In the meantime, check out the pics, thanks to Adriana!
