If you thought the completely sheer red-carpet dress was on its way out, Jennifer Lopez has some news for you.
On November 4, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck hit the red carpet for a formal date night at the 2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala presented by Gucci. While Affleck looked debonair as always in his black-tie apparel, the This Is Me…Now singer was the standout in a nude lace Gucci dress with a dramatic thigh-high slit and satin bra-cup bustier, which she paired with an extravagant diamond and ruby-colored jewel necklace and a pair of platform sandals by Andrea Wazen.
However, J.Lo’s giant rock wasn’t her only statement piece last night. Underneath her dress the 54-year-old wore a pair of nude Gucci briefs with a thick logo band designed to be seen.
As for glam, Lopez wore her hair down in loose, cascading waves with blonde babylights, which popped against her champagne smoky eye. Her glowing skin, of course, comes courtesy of JLo Beauty, according to the tags on her Instagram post.
Jennifer Lopez is gearing up to release her ninth studio album, This Is Me…Now, in 2024 as a follow-up to her 2002 album This Is Me…Then, which was dedicated to her now husband when they were first engaged back in the early aughts. The former exes reconnected in 2021 and recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary in August.
“Twenty years ago I fell in love with the love of my life. I was working on an album and it was called This Is Me…Then,” Lopez told Zane Lowe in November 2022 after announcing the new album. “It was all about capturing that moment in time. Now the most amazing, incredible, unbelievable thing has happened. The reason we’re here is because I want to capture this moment in time because it is even better than the first time.”
She continued, “I think now that we’re older, we realize, it’s much more clear, because even in Then when we felt that way, now we know. Now, we know. And there is no questions and there is no kind of like, ‘Well, let’s see how this goes.’ Like, ‘Nope, it’s me and you. That’s it. All the way, till the end. That’s it. It’s going to be us.’”
