Get the Jennifer Lopez look
Singing, dancing, acting aside, we have loved Jennifer Lopez for over a decade for her incredible fashion. No matter what she's wearing— glittery jumpsuits, retro minidresses, or demure and classic floor-length gowns— the Venus global brand ambassador commits to every look with sass and confidence. Even if we can't exactly amass her collection of Louboutins, is there a way we can incorporate some of J.Lo's dressing rules into our own style? We asked Jennifer's style team, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, to share some of her style secrets. See what they had to say, and then check out the J.Lo makeover we gave to a Thread viewer.
If you look at J.Lo's style through the years, you'll see that she is constantly trying new things. Each season she embraces new fashion trends and many times she reaches back to the 1960s or 1970s for inspiration. That said, Mariel and Rob pointed out a few of
J.Lo's trademarks.
Make one aspect of your outfit the focal point so you don't overdo it. For example, if J.Lo loves a certain pair of boots or shoes, she'll build a look around them and keep the rest of the look comparatively subdued.
Go heavy on the jewelry. If your look is simple like a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, pile on rings, necklaces, and earrings. Keep in mind that there's a fine line between layering and going overboard. You don't want the jewelry to look like costume pieces.
Confidence is the key to J.Lo's style whether she's wearing a gown or sweatpants. Confidence comes from knowing what works for you and your body and not trying too hard to fit in.
J.Lo pays a lot of attention to her skin and her phenomenal legs, which she maintains with a strict exercise regimen and close-shaving Venus Embrace razors.
