All eyes were on Lizzo as she accepted the People's Champion Award at the 2022 People's Choice Awards, held Dec. 6 at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California. For the ceremony, the "Truth Hurts" singer had the juice while rockin' a multicolored Alexander McQueen structured creation featuring a caged bodice and bird and flower print. She accessorized with gold chain jewels, a statement hairstyle and colorful nails.

Lizzo's big night comes three months after her Amazon Prime Video series took home the award for Outstanding Competition Program at the 2022 Emmys, beating multi-year winner "RuPaul's Drag Race." On stage, the superstar got teary while giving her acceptance speech, speaking candidly about how she so desperately wanted to see someone who looked like her on screen while growing up. 

"The trophy is nice, but my emotion is for these people who are on this stage with me, the stories that they shared, they're not that unique; they just don't get the platform," she said on stage. "Telling stories. Let's just tell more stories. When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me."

The Emmy winner added, "If I could go back and tell little Lizzo something, I'd be like, ‘You're gonna see that person but b----, it's gonna have to be you.'"
