Kimye may not be together anymore, but it's evident they have nothing but love for one another.

This was very evident during the 2021 People's Choice Awards.

The reality star was honored with the Fashion Icon Award at the annual ceremony.

When the 41-year-old took the stage to graciously accept the award – which was presented to her by Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross – Kim expressed her gratitude to her estranged husband for introducing her to fashion.

"To Kanye, for really introducing me to the fashion world. I fell in love with fashion and I'm so inspired by so may people but again, this is like a dream that I get to wake up and wear these amazing clothes and try new things and take a risk. I'm so humbled," she said.

Thought the exes have been caught up in a little bit of drama lately, a source told People that Kim is still closely collaborating and getting advisement from ex Kanye when it comes to her outfit choices.

"Even though Kanye is not attending tonight, his presence will be felt on the carpet. It was Kanye who introduced Kim to Demna Gvasalia, creative director of Balenciaga, and was instrumental in the newly formed relationship between her and Balenciaga," the insider dished.

Despite the exes being romantically involved with other people, the two continue to remain on good terms.

Last week, Kimye attended the final show of their late longtime friend and collaborator, designer Virgil Abloh.
