I walk around in sweatpants and Ugg boots. I don't care.”
Also honoured at the event was Black Eyed Peas star Fergie, who was watched by husband Josh Duhamel as she picked up a gong for her work with breast cancer research and AIDS awareness charities. In a red Zac Posen gown, she admitted: “I feel like the prom queen tonight.”
