Jennifer Lopez Gets Ready For Met Gala: Shines With Jackie O Style And Birkin Bag-HO
Jennifer Lopez toted a small Hermès Birkin bag (costing between $5K-$500K) while stopping for lunch at posh private club San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood on Sunday.
The 54-year-old pop star continued her baggy pants parade in wide-leg, belted khakis she paired with peep-toe heels and a brown-ribbed cropped cardigan featuring bell sleeves.
Jennifer finished off her daytime look with waist-length hair extensions beneath her natural bob, large gold hoop earrings, and oversized sunglasses a la late FLOTUS Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Lopez is ‘honored’ to co-chair the May 6th Met Gala in Manhattan themed ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ alongside Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth.
It will mark the 14th Costume Institute benefit the two-time Grammy nominee has attended beginning in 2004 wearing Dolce & Gabanna in honor of the 18th century and most recently last year wearing Ralph Lauren in honor of Karl Lagerfeld.
‘When Anna [Wintour] calls you, and asks you to co-host the Met Gala along with her it’s kinda the biggest night in fashion and to raise money for the museum, it was a real honor,’ Jennifer told Vogue on April 17.
‘It’s a nice thing to be apart of.’
When it comes to her Met Gala gown, Lopez revealed that she’s still in the decision-making process, with a few different sketches on hand. Known for her last-minute choices, she prefers having options and then deciding based on how she feels that day. She emphasized the importance of creating an amazing look for the event, considering it as the night for stunning fashion statements.
In 2021, Lopez made headlines when she and then-boyfriend Ben Affleck shared a masked kiss at the In America-themed Met Gala. This came after her memorable appearance at the campy-themed 2019 Met Gala with then-fiancé Alex Rodriguez, where she wore a fringed Versace gown.
However, despite her glamorous appearances, Lopez has been facing significant online backlash recently. Critics have been citing her perceived lack of relatability and her involvement in what some view as cringeworthy vanity projects, including her “This Is Me… Now” album, movie, documentary, and tour. Comments on her social media posts often criticize her alleged disconnect from her Bronx roots, her handling of certain situations, and her treatment of other artists’ work.
For instance in 2002, the This Time Around singer not only kept the entire Jenny from the Block chorus and bridge performed by her back-up vocalist Natasha Ramos on the finished record, she even kept her giggles and ‘from the Bronx’ call from the original demo.
Due to alleged poor ticket sales, Jennifer had to cancel shows dated August 20-31 and rebrand her 30-date This Is Me… Now: The Tour (supporting her album that peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard 200) to ‘This is Me… Live: The Greatest Hits’ tour kicking off June 26.
