J.Lo at the Met Gala: A Fugtrospective

This was purported to be extra of a banner yr for Jennifer, however her album flopped and her film did nothing to assist that, and he or she needed to flip her world tour right into a Biggest Hits state of affairs to attempt to make up for poor ticket gross sales. She’s bought a brand new film coming, Atlas, alongside Sterling Okay. Brown, Simu Liu, Mark Sturdy, and Lana Parrilla, however my guess is she’s at a decrease ebb proper now than she anticipated to be. The excellent news for her is that it doesn’t matter, as a result of she’s nonetheless J.Lo, and it’ll take much more than that for individuals to not be considering her when she walks in a room. I may see her tipping into the “backyard” a part of “Backyard of Time” tonight and searching like a human flower, perhaps with Giambattista Valli. Or doing very sheer and having one single flower snake round her, courtesy of, say, Zuhair Murad, perhaps. Or, she may carry it full circle and rewear this Dolce & Gabbana costume on its twentieth anniversary, though on condition that the EXHIBIT theme is basically outfits too fragile ever to be worn once more, a re-use looks as if an odd selection.

Reality of notice: The one designers Jennifer has repeated on the met are Versace (2006, 2015, 2019) and Ralph Lauren (twice, and so they had been her final two appearances, 2021 and 2023). Will she go for the Ralph trifecta?
