Miley Cyrus got choked up during a speech and performance in honor of her late hairstylist Oribe Canales on Tuesday.

And the 26-year-old pop star wasn’t the only guest left in tears that afternoon. Some of the biggest names in fashion also got misty-eyed during the event, held at Lincoln Center in the midst of New York Fashion Week, as many heartwarming tributes were paid to the legendary hairstylist, who passed away at the age of 62 last December.

High-profile guests, such as fashion photographer Bruce Weber, Stephanie Seymour, and Bernadette Peters, paid their respects to the man who redefined glamour, while supermodels Veronica Webb and Christy Turlington both shared some of their favorite memories from their time spent with the stylist.

Special video messages from Marc Jacobs, Jennifer Lopez and an emotional Naomi Campbell were also played during the ceremony.

Finally, a choked-up Cyrus recounted a story about how Oribe once came to visit her and her grandmother, Mammie, who was sick at the time and had just started to lose her hair.

To make her feel better, Canales whipped up a gorgeous wig for Mammie right on the spot and gifted it to her free of charge.

The musician closed out the evening with a tearful rendition of “You Are My Sunshine,” telling the crowd, “Oribe always told me fashion people don’t like to sing, but I hope you’ll join me.” The whole room immediately broke into song.
