Jennifer Lopez Wore Her Shirtdress So Elegantly in Paris

published 25 June 2024

I often find myself drawn to Jennifer Lopez's style. Whether dressing down in ultra-baggy jeans or going all out in an elegant dress and tall heels, the singer and actor's outfits always retain a polished edge that keeps her looking classy no matter the occasion.

While shopping in Paris this week, Lopez struck the perfect balance between her ultra-relaxed and hyper-glamorous style personalities. For her time in what many would call the most stylish city in the world, Lopez selected a shirtdress in a light ivory shade that featured mid-length sleeves, a perky collar, and a cinched-in waist from which a voluminous skirt flared out. Wearing the dress partially unbuttoned and styled with subtle jewels, a skinny belt, and black cat-eye sunglasses, Lopez looked the picture of a classic film star.

Genuinely easy to wear, a shirtdress doesn't require layers of accessories to achieve a high-end finish. In fact, I'd argue less is more in this situation. Lopez has become a firm fan of the silhouette in recent weeks, having already worn a chic gray iteration a couple of weeks ago. Inspired by her recent looks, I think it's high time I added a fit-and-flare shirtdress to my own wardrobe, and handily, I've already spotted plenty of chic contenders.
