Jennifer Lopez sparks backlash over divisive outfit

It wasn’t too long ago that Jennifer Lopez made waves at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event with her daring and avant-garde outfit, making a bold statement on the red carpet.

Her look, a striking blend of elegance and edginess, captured attention and sparked intense conversations.

Lopez donned a unique shiny silver-blue chest plate crafted by Grace Ling, an artist from Singapore renowned for her fusion of fashion and 3D technology to produce sustainable designs.

The piece, tailored to fit Lopez’s chest, shoulders, and upper body, accentuated her sculpted abs from the front while featuring an entirely open back. Paired with a sleek, form-fitting black skirt, the ensemble highlighted Lopez’s timeless hourglass figure.

The eye-catching breastplate trend has been embraced by celebrities like Zendaya and Rihanna because, beyond offering coverage, this style embodies a contemporary interpretation of feminine grace and empowerment.

Accepting her fifth Elle’s Icon Award, Lopez reflected on her journey, remarking: “Of all the things I thought I would grow up to be when I was a little girl, the last thing on my list was icon.”

Seizing the moment, Lopez championed the breaking of boundaries and the celebration of women’s resilience in Hollywood, stating (per Marie Claire): “The things that women are usually criticized for and kept out of rooms for, things like changing our minds, things like being emotional, and having our attention in several different places at once, are actually our superpowers and the essence of who we are. That is what it is to actually be a woman.”

While Lopez’s outfit garnered widespread admiration for its boldness, it also faced criticism from some quarters. Fashion, being subjective, elicited varied opinions, with not everyone admiring the intricate elements of her look.

“This dress is horrible!!! Sorry Jen, I’m sincere,” one person wrote.

Another added: “She is a beautiful woman, but at 50 something — don’t think she needs to dress like a 20 yr old. Uncool.”

A further comment read: “Horrible, horrible top! Have more respect for yourself. We all know you have a wonderful body — now show us some class in the old Hollywood style with your clothes.
