Very few designers are as loved and admired as Marc Jacobs is.
Since the start of his career in the early ’90s, he has built quite a large clientele that consists of world famous supermodels and A-list actors. So, it’s not all that surprising to see people strutting across the red carpet in his pieces. What is surprising, however, is the strong loyalty that these stars have for the artist.
When the 56-year-old recently wed his longtime boyfriend Char Defrancesco, stars came out in droves to support him as he began this next chapter in his life. In fact, so many stars attended a barricade had to be set up outside the venue so fans wouldn’t crowd the guests, like Kate Moss, Naomi Campbelland Gigi Hadid.
That strong devotion and following that Marc has is just one of the reasons why he is receiving MTV’s first-ever Fashion Trailblazer Award.
The iconic designer will be presented with the trophy at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 25th. Until then, get your fill of fashion with this gallery of Marc Jacobs and his fashionable friends:

Bette Midler
In an Instagram post from 2016, the visionary designer revealed that he credits the actress for inspiring him to enter the world of fashion. “I vividly remember the genuine excitement and love I had for Bette’s music,” he wrote alongside a glamorous portrait of the star. Perhaps one could call her his muse?

Cher
It’s always obvious when Jacobs adores a star, because they are one of the first faces to be seen in his beautiful ads. This was the case with Cher in 2015, when she was featured alongside actresses like Winona Ryder and Willow Smith.

Over the years, the designer has dressed the famous Brit numerous times, but nothing compared to the time when he photographed her popping out of his shopping bag.

Miley Cyrus
Great minds think alike, so it only makes sense that these two collaborated on a charitable hoodie. Together, the pair recently created a stylish pink hooded sweatshirt, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefitting Planned Parenthood.

Anna Wintour
Anna Wintour once said, ”Marc it’s you who brings joy to the world.” This says a lot about the friendship shared by the two stars, since Anna allegedly inspired The Devil Wears Prada‘s Miranda Priestly.
