Jennifer Lopez Hits the Block in Diamonds and Leather
Bronx bombshell Jennifer Lopez made a glitzy return to her hometown Thursday night for a special screening of her romantic comedy This Is Me… Now: A Love Story at Bay Plaza’s AMC Theater. Channeling her iconic “Jenny From the Block” style, the multi-hyphenate talent wowed in a plunging navy jumpsuit with a matching floor-length coat dripping dramatically off her shoulders.
The silky piece was paired by longtime stylist Rob Zangardi with a matching flowing coat, creating an all-over navy moment. For a complementary dash of texture, she accessorized the set with a black leather baseball cap and gloves. Diamond-accented post earrings and layered pendant necklaces added a bejeweled finish. Diamond drop earrings and a trio of sparkling necklaces, including a padlock design, provided the requisite dose of BLING.
One part of Lopez’s look was firmly in the present: her shoes. Beneath her trousers’ hems, the singer wore a pair of black leather Jimmy Choo pumps from the brand’s fall 2023 collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier. Pointy-toed pumps tied the look together, coordinating with Jenny’s hat for a fashion grand slam.
Her makeup was just as glam as her outfit and consisted of a bronzy contour, glossy lips, and sapphire-blue eyeliner. Meanwhile, J.Lo’s caramel-colored hair was worn down in loose waves and tucked neatly beneath her hat.
Ms. Lopez’s higher-than-high fashion moment coincided with a whirlwind press day for This Is Me… Now, the film companion to her latest album. It marks a sequel to 2002’s This Is Me… Then, which birthed hits like “Jenny From the Block” and popularized Ben Affleck’s nickname “Bennifer”. The timing aligns with Jennifer’s rekindled romance with the actor, proving everything in pop culture eventually comes full circle.
During a TODAY show visit earlier Thursday, Jennifer surprised audiences by announcing her first tour in over five years. Kicking off in June, over 30 cities will host the multi-threat on her This Is Me…Now Tour.
“I will be going on tour this summer,” J.Lo revealed. “We’re hitting all the cities all across the United States.”
If Thursday’s killer look was any indication, concert-goers can expect a heaping dose of bronzed bombshell glamour on stage. Jennifer herself promised an “epic” production, no doubt filled with KO-worthy costumes.
At 54, the ageless wonder shows no signs of slowing down. Rather, she appears to grow ever more confident in her signature style. Consider her bedazzled baseball cap the latest chapter in a fashion playbook filled with iconic visuals. From plunging Versace gowns to barely-there leotards, Jennifer Lopez has made a career on taking risks. Thursday night’s screening proved her fashion star power still shines bright, lighting up even the Bronx with its wattage.
