At Elle’s 2023 Women in Hollywood event, Jennifer Lopez made a huge impression with her daring outfit. This stunning look combined elegance with a bit of edge, turning heads and igniting discussions. 

Lopez is constantly changing the game in red carpet fashion, effortlessly breaking boundaries and making a memorable impact on the audience with her fearless style choices.

Lopez wore a unique shiny silver-blue chest plate designed by Grace Ling, a Singaporean artist who blends fashion with 3D technology to create sustainable designs. The piece was custom-made to fit Lopez’s chest, shoulders, and upper body, showcasing her toned abs from the front, while featuring a completely open back. She matched it with a fitted, long black skirt that accentuated her classic hourglass figure.

The striking breastplate trend has been adopted by many celebrities, including Zendaya, Rihanna, and others (see pictures below), leading some to see it as a strong symbol on the red carpet. This style not only covers cleavage but also represents a modern take on graceful femininity and strength.

JLo also received her fifth Elle’s Icon Award, stating, “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.”

Lopez seized the chance to discuss breaking barriers and honoring women’s strengths in Hollywood, stating, “The things that women often get criticized for and are excluded from discussions about, like changing our minds, being emotional, and having our focus on multiple things at once, are actually our superpowers and the core of our identity. That is what it truly means to be a woman.”

Even with Jennifer Lopez’s stunning figure, her outfit faced some backlash. While many people appreciate her daring fashion choice, others found reasons to criticize a star. Fashion is a matter of personal taste, and not everyone was on board with the bold aspects of her outfit.
