Is J.Lo is in her black swan era?
If there’s one thing that Jennifer Lopez absolutely loves, it’s a heel. We’re talking a good six-inch, eat-your-heart-out-Carrie Bradshaw, here-come-the-clackers heel. A heel that makes a statement. Now, J.Lo has been known to rock a serious heel with just about any look. Whether she’s dressing up for a red carpet appearance or dressing down to grab lunch with a friend, she has no qualms about reaching for one of her many pairs of stilettos. Sometimes, she actually wears the exact same heels for both occasions. Last year, she even posed for an ad for a Revolve campaign wearing nothing but a pair of sky-high white stilettos.
Where Jennifer Lopez goes, heels are guaranteed to go, too. That is, until now. In her latest look, Lopez made the surprising sartorial move to ditch her signature heels for a bold fall shoe trend: the lace-up ballet flat.
Lopez's satin Dior flats, which looked more like balletic pointe shoes than actual shoes, featured a pearl-and-bow detail on the square toe and a lace-up ribbon, which wrapped around her ankle. She paired the black shoes with an all-black ensemble, wearing a pair of black tailored trousers and a semi-sheer black pullover sweater with a pussybow and pearl buttons to match the detailing on her shoes. She wore her hair in a messy updo and finished off the balletcore-inspired look with a pair of black oversized sunglasses, a delicate bracelet, and a gold and a black quilted Chanel handbag.
J.Lo will undoubtedly return to her signature sky-high shoe before long—but this unexpected move to a bold, statement ballet flat certainly makes for a nice change.
