Kim Kardashian West just accepted her CFDA Influencer Award at tonight's CFDA Fashion Award ceremony. Kardashian stepped on the stage following Busy Philipps' introduction of her and made a brief but heartfelt speech about her rise in fashion. "I’m kind of shocked I’m winning a fashion award when I’m naked most of the time, but this is seriously such an honor so thank you to the CFDA for this award," she started with a lighthearted joke.

Then she got serious: "I mean, it was maybe seven years ago when I had a publicist and she asked what I-what were my goals, what were my dreams, and I said I just want to be on the cover of a fashion magazine, and she said to me, ‘Let’s get some realistic goals ‘cause that’ll never happen.’ And so of course I sent her my Vogue cover when it came out, an autographed copy, but so it’s really a trip to me that now I’m up here getting an award for fashion when it’s something that I’ve always loved so thank you so much for this. It means a lot."

Kardashian was joined by her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner at the ceremony tonight.
