Jennifer Lopez made us armor. And she is very glam

The metal corset strikes again: seeing is believing Jennifer Lopez’s latest red carpet look. The actress and singer, icon of Latin American pop culture, was awarded at the ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards 2023 held in Los Angeles this December 5th: for the occasion she chose a dress that not only confirms the trend of armor-style corsetry, but also becomes a metaphor for the indomitable verve with which she has made her way here over the course of her career.

Accompanied by her husband Ben Affleck (with whom she couldn’t miss a tender kiss to the delight of the photographers), Jennifer Lopez wore a dress with metal corset by Grace Ling, a brand founded by the Singaporean designer of the same name after gaining experience at Thom Browne and The Row in New York. And it is precisely in the Big Apple that the brand is now based, among other things sharing a very similar past with JLo.

That is to say? A story of female redemption aimed at demonstrating that in life you can build credibility and authority even by doing more things and taking on more professional roles. Coincidentally, just like the designer, Grace Ling was first a model and then an actress in the film Crazy Rich Asians, so Jennifer Lopez reminded the audience in her speech: «I started as a dancer, then I started making films, then recording music and then working on my brand and with other companies. At every step and transition I made, there seemed to be tremendous opposition – literally, physically and emotionally – to the idea that I could do more things and be taken seriously.”

The dressed in Jennifer Lopez’s metal corsetwhich Grace Ling presented in her Spring-Summer 2024 fashion collection, becomes this way too metaphor of his unchangeable being: Through ups and downs, JLo has never lost her confidence, tenacity and resilience. Who knows, maybe this was precisely the reason why he chose this specific look, and not another. Strengthened by his ideas, the pop icon then continued: «Why can’t we be all the things (that we desire, ed)? I will always believe that we can, that all of you can and that I myself can.”

Everything about the latest wedding dress sported by Jennifer Lopez (of which there are actually 28)

Like J.Lo, to wear wedding dresses, no one ever. How much the Latin American pop star likes to step into the shoes of a bride is documented not only by her real life but also by the films in which she is the protagonist. Here’s how she surprised, again, by going blank in her latest film An explosive wedding

Together with the visual impact of the sculptural and three-dimensional corset, the designer graduated from Parsons School of Design of NY he then conceived the whole look like a riot of feminine sensuality (in perfect JLo style, one might add). Let’s wink atsee-through effect of the breast, left free from the constriction of any bra. And also to the long black silk skirt – strategically attached to the corset, of course – which with minimalism and simplicity enhanced Jennifer Lopez’s warrior spirit. In one word, amazing.
