As far as having a dossier on jaw-dropping and iconic fashion moments, we’d like to think Jennifer Lopez has played a crucial role in setting the standard of how to dress and stun on a red carpet. She has a longstanding style history of showing up in plunging gowns (you're well acquainted with her green Versace gown), oftentimes with scandalous cut-outs and playful thigh-high slits. Recently, Lopez has been more experimental with her personal style, from entering her elegant french girl era in ballet flats to embracing her inner chic dweeb-ette (with the studious opticals to match). So when JLo was honored for Elle’s 2023 Women in Hollywood Awards last night, there was no doubt that her attire would make its own powerful statement as she gave her acceptance speech. On the red carpet, Lopez wore a bold breastplate look that transformed her into a soldier marching in the name of boundary-pushing fashion.
Her sculptural top piece was cropped, perfectly putting Lopez’s ripped abs on display. With her metallic breastplate, Lopez wore a black column skirt that hit the ground and, no surprise here, featured a subtle slit. For beauty, Lopez went for a smokey eye that reflected the starry gloss of the metal plate, and her earrings were long drooping in diamonds. Lopez finished off her look with a slick back bun (arguably the most versatile and in-demand hack of the last season). Her accessories included a sleek black Tyler Ellis clutch, and closed-toe platform heels.
