Whoa—J.Lo's 1999 Airport Outfit Predicted 3 Massively Popular 2019 Trends
Jennifer Lopez seems to be aging in reverse, so being able to differentiate between a photo of her that was taken decades ago and one that was taken days ago is not an easy feat. (Challenge yourself to that exact feat here.) I'm sure the singer and actress can point to a number of fitness and wellness practices that help her stop time, but today we're about to share a few of the key fashion items she wore that really have us questioning whether we're seeing a photo of her from 1999 or 2019.
While doing some image research on Getty, I came across the following image of Lopez stepping off a plane at LAX, and the time stamp stopped me in my scrolling tracks. You see, in the image, Lopez is wearing an outfit—three major trends, in particular—that would be just as stylish had she been spotted in it today. She styled a monochromatic beige ensemble consisting of a cream knit sweater and white straight-leg jeans, accented with a baguette shoulder bag and black rectangle sunglasses—all items that are trending hard at present.
To see the shockingly on-trend throwback outfit for yourself, plus, of course, shop everything you need to re-create Lopez's on-point airport style, and see more of her best travel looks, simply keep scrolling.
