"It's such an honor to congratulate InStyle on their hard work," Barrymore told us before the ceremony. "I love Ariel so much. That's why I'm here. It took me three seconds to say yes. They said, 'We're honoring Ariel Foxman. Can you do it?' I responded, 'Yes! Yes, please!' It's even more exciting because I believe I've been on InStyle’s cover more times than anyone else. I'm sure I'll get kicked off of the top spot soon."

Plus, Barrymore had nothing but praises for her favorite fashion magazine. "InStyle is as classy and timeless and as positive as it gets," Barrymore told us. "It's women looking at women at their best. I love Ariel's keen eye on the colors that he chooses and the women that he curates. I think he picks positive, great, joyful, iconic women, and I love that he has managed to make the greatest success out of being a positive and classy magazine. I'm excited to gush over them tonight."

"It's amazing to receive this honor," Foxman said. "We've done a lot this year to integrate digital and print. We have a footprint of over twenty one million people who are looking at the brand, hour to hour, day today. For us to be honored for being on the forefront of fashion and celebrity in a consistent and entertaining way is really exciting for our team." And, Foxman also shared he was thrilled that Barrymore on-hand for the occasion: "Drew Barrymore is the first celebrity I ever interviewed at InStyle back in 2003," Foxman shared. "When she decided to present us the award, we were over the moon."
