The long-sleeved white dress featured a high turtleneck, and the top half billowed out to create a dramatic, tent-like shape over the bodice. At the upper leg, the material appeared to be sheer before transitioning back to solid white fabric.
She accessorized with a ruby necklace, diamond earrings, and a white clutch. The Office Romance star let the dress and jewelry do all the talking and pulled her hair back in a sleek updo.
Earlier in the day, the “On The Floor” singer wore another glamorous look for an appearance during Paris Haute Couture Week, attending the Celia Kritharioti show in a semi-sheer gown embellished with crystals. The look featured a plunging neckline and was paired with a feathered shawl and silver platform heels.

In a previous interview with InStyle, Lopez discussed her style evolution.
“I want to always feel more original,” she said in 2025. “I did [method dressing] for so many years with my films and now it’s kind of to a level where it almost becomes a costume. I’m not into that with fashion.”
She added, “I think the key is to always authentically be yourself and [do] what feels good to you in the moment, whether that’s something that’s older that you’ve done before, and classic, or something that’s totally new. It just has to feel right for me right now.”
And despite her status as a style icon, Lopez has said she feels like an “outsider” in the fashion world.
“I’ve always felt like an outsider, in the fashion world, the music world, the movie world,” she told Vogue in 2022. “I feel like everybody knows each other and all the artists talk, and you go to the Met ball and all the girls are hanging out together, and I’m not in that group.”

“I’ve always been kind of a march-to-the-beat-of-my-own-drum, loner-type person,” she continued. “It used to be about the idea of validation in other people’s eyes. It really used to be. Because I wanted to be part of the club. But I don’t anymore. There’s something bigger that I’m after. It’s about touching people’s lives and being touched.”
