Introduction
The 53rd annual Met Gala is fast approaching, and everyone knows that the dress code is going to be a lot more revealing than usual. That’s because it’s a theme night: Camp Now, which means there will be tons of sequins, rhinestones, and tulle on display. So with all those options available for her, Jennifer Lopez opted for something unexpected tonight: A pinstripe suit!
Jennifer Lopez is the Queen of the Skin-Baring
Lopez is known for her sexy style and that’s what everyone was expecting from her at tonight’s Met Gala.
She’s always wearing something that shows off her body, whether it’s a sequin-covered dress or a skin-baring gown with a thigh-high slit. Her last two Met Gala outfits were full of sequins and rhinestones, so this time around she went for something more conservative and still sexy!
Her last two Appearances at the Ball itself
After all, her last two appearances at the ball itself have been full of sequins, rhinestones, and tulle. From her high-fashion gowns to her headpieces which include an array of feathers, bejeweled components, and studded belts she has always been a showstopper at the Met Gala. But this year’s theme (highlighting social justice issues) may have presented an opportunity to look more sophisticated than usual.
However, Lopez opted for something more low-key than what we’re used to seeing from our girl J.Lo a simple black turtleneck dress with a slit up one side (the same one she wore on stage with Cardi B). She accessorized with simple pieces like earrings and long nails that didn’t overwhelm but instead added some sparkle without taking away from what was important about this outfit: its simplicity.
Ralph Lauren
But in a surprising move for the singer and actress, Lopez went for a more understated look tonight with a pinstripe suit by Ralph Lauren.
Lopez is known for her sexy, revealing outfits and she’s been known to bring out her amazing legs when she shows up on stage. The star also has an impressive body her abs are visible through her clothes when she wears something tight enough (like this outfit). And like most bombshells, Lopez has an incredible booty!
Wide-leg Pants all come Together to Successfully Channel Wall Street
The Pinstripe Suit Gets the Bombshell Treatment from Jennifer Lopez.
The Wall Street look is one of the most work-appropriate looks we’ve ever seen on Lopez, with the double-breasted jacket and skinny tie all coming together to successfully channel Wall Street.
The only hint of her signature show-stopping style is found in the cutouts along the stomach and hips of the suit. The top has a plunging neckline, while its sleeves are wide with short cuffs that accentuate her arms. Her skirt is made out of high-quality fabric that drapes smoothly over her legs (and shows off every curve).
The Pinstripe Suit by Jennifer Lopez is available now at Macy’s stores nationwide!
Plus without Something Distracting going on up top
The pinstripe suit is a great example of her signature style, which has evolved over the years. She’s been known to wear all sorts of different things, like this beautiful dress that she wore while performing at the Grammys. But there’s something about this particular ensemble that stands out and it’s because it’s so understated! Suits are having such a moment right now and there are all sorts of ways to wear them and still look fierce.
Whether you’re going for the classic power look or adding an edge with a punk-rock touch, pinstripes can be worn in so many ways! Here are some ideas:
- Pinstripes in black, white, and grey (the classic colors for suits) will give any outfit that polished yet edgy feel. Pairing it with black accessories like pumps and earrings will help cement your status as the boss lady of your office or home.
- Mix things up by wearing red or yellow pinstripes on top of a white shirt instead of underneath it this way you’ll have more options when it comes time to change out of your suit later at night! Besides being fun and different from what everyone else is usually wearing around town during work hours anyway.
Pinstripe Suit that’s Bound to Get Everyone Talking
Sure, there are plenty of people dressed in wild headdresses or full gowns for tonight’s Camp theme, but Lopez did it unexpectedly with a pinstripe suit that’s bound to get everyone talking.
The look was understated yet sexy and would have fit perfectly on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival. She has worn other pinstripe suits before including one she wore while attending the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala earlier this year but this one was especially memorable because it was more form-fitting than usual and matched her skin tone perfectly (not something you can say about many other women).
She wore a pinstripe suit by Ralph Lauren, which was understated and work-appropriate. The cutouts on the stomach and hips were the only hint of her signature style: bright colors like pink or yellow were used sparingly to maintain the elegance of this classic fashion item.
Conclusion
Jennifer Lopez is the queen of the skin-baring, bombshell looks, and that’s what everyone was expecting from her at tonight’s Met Gala. After all, her last two appearances at the ball itself have been full of sequins, rhinestones, and tulle. But in a surprising move for the singer and actress, Lopez went for a more understated (and dressed) look tonight with a pinstripe suit by Ralph Lauren. It’s one of the most work-appropriate looks we’ve ever seen on Lopez, with the double-breasted jacket, white shirt, skinny tie, and wide-leg pants all coming together to successfully channel Wall Street professionals who don’t mess around when it comes time for workday attire! The only hint of her signature show-stopping style is found in the cutouts along the stomach and hips.
