The 'All of Me' hitmaker attends the annual event to present his model wife with The Influencer Award.
- Nov 13, 2018
AceShowbiz - Chrissy Teigen was among the honorees at Glamour's 2018 Women of the Year Awards which took place at Spring Studios in New York City on Monday, November 12. Her husband John Legend was also in attendance to present her with The Influencer Award, and he had a few things to say about the cookbook author before giving her the trophy.
Explaining all the reason why people couldn't help but adore Chrissy, John revealed that people cheered on his model wife more than him whenever he held a concert. "The number one comment I get from people who used to be my fans is how much they love Chrissy," he joked. "She gets bigger cheers than I do at my own concerts. They love her!"
Talking about her impact to the world, John credited social media for allowing the "Lip Sync Battle" co-host to show who she really is, because that would be impossible if she "were filtered by publicists and handlers." He also noted that Chrissy's biggest impact "may be the way she proves that just by being the person you are, you can make a difference. Being who you are, unapologetically, you can make a difference."
The "All of Me" hitmaker got teary eyed towards the end of his lengthy speech, telling his wife, "Well, I'm here to say that you belong here. I think it has become very clear to Glamour magazine and to many millions of people around the world that you are more than worthy of this honor tonight."
Chrissy then took the stage to receive her award, admitting that she was blown away by her singer husband's emotional speech "John didn't even cry when I was giving birth," she jokingly told the crowd, calling him "the most incredible husband on the planet."
Prior to accepting the award, the supermodel and the Ohio native showed off their affection to each other on the red carpet. Other stars such as Ashley Graham and Amber Heard also hit the red carpet in their best dresses. Let's take a look at what the powerful women wore to the annual celebration.
