She was honored to have received this year’s New Fragrance Celebrity of the Year Award for her scent called Outspoken for Avon. However, the bigger surprise came when her husband, Josh Duhamel, came out to introduce her.
“She doesn’t know I’m here. I pulled a fast one on her,” Duhamel told People while he was backstage, preparing for his tribute. He had told Fergie he was going to be out playing golf.
He told the crowd that she was his “partner in crime, the yin to my yang, the froth in my cappuccino, the woman I love.”When she came out, she couldn’t help but be cheesy back, repeatedly telling him she loved him and how zealous she was that he surprised her.
Fergie’s fragrance just launched last year and came as an immediate success.
The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman is responsible for Avon’s most successful fragrance launch ever and was recognized for it at the star-studded event.
Honoring “a celebrity whose very first fragrance has enjoyed instant success with the consumer and brought recognition to the fragrance category,” the US Fragrance Foundation has decided to give this year’s New Fragrance Celebrity of the Year Award to Fergie, who launched Outspoken with Avon last year.

I’m so excited to be receiving the FiFi ‘New Fragrance Celebrity of the Year’ Award, and it feels amazing to be honored by the industry.”The annual FiFi Awards is considered the Oscars of the fragrance industry.
