Rihanna took the stage at last night’s amfAR LA Inspiration Gala to honor and present Tom Ford with the AIDS group’s Award of Inspiration. Watch her speech above!
“I’m thrilled to be here tonight to present the amfAR award of inspiration to one of the world’s most admired and creative accomplished designers.
Tom Ford brings the same sophistication and talent to everything he does, whether he’s transforming the origins of Gucci, or creating and building his own now iconic brand.
Throughout his career Tom has been committed to give back to the community. He has been, and continues to be, a dedicated supporter of the fight against AIDS.
Over the past 20 years Tom has been honored with every major fashion award there is; recently he received the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s CFDA Fashion Award.
Tonight we honor Tom Ford for both his incredible talent, as well as what he stands for. We honor him for inspiring us with his creative genius, his leadership, his integrity, and generosity. We honor him for doing good while making us look good.”
