J.Lo Went Pants-less to Paris Couture Week in Tights and Sky-High Stiletto Heels
Throughout her long career in Hollywood, Jennifer Lopez has always dared to wear ensembles that some might consider risqué or controversial, from her iconic Versace jungle dress from the Grammys in 2000 (and again on the runway at the brand's S/S 20 show) to the button-down shirt and denim thigh-high boots she chose for a casual day out in NYC back in 2018. It shouldn't come as a huge surprise that she arrived at the venue for the Schiaparelli couture show in Paris wearing a very elevated take on the much-debated pants-less trend that's been garnering attraction since its big debut at Bottega Veneta's S/S 23 show.
This is what I mean by elevated: For the occasion, Lopez—who worked with her longtime stylists Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi and Schiaparelli Creative Director Daniel Roseberry to build the look—wore black tights cinched at the waist with a large '80s-inspired gold belt, an embroidered turtleneck sweater, and sky-high black stilettos. But the excitement didn't stop there. On top, she added a handcrafted and custom-made white coat made of over 7000 real rose petals that, according to Lopez, were kept alive using sugar water.
On Jennifer Lopez: Schiaparelli outfit
At the show, Lopez's work-of-art outerwear clearly stole the show, but in photos posted beforehand by Haenn, the singer and actor's pants-less ensemble was on full display. Sure, the trend isn't exactly subtle, but after looking through each image, the controversial aspects of it have begun to slip away. After all, who could argue that Lopez needed to wear true pants with this look or needed to change anything about it at all? I, for one, don't have a single note for her, her styling team, or Roseberry.
