Jennifer Lopez Wore a Surprisingly Risqué Maxi Dress With Sleek Knee-High Boots
Certain clothing items are known to be risqué, though a long-sleeve maxi shirt dress isn't exactly one of them. Micro-miniskirts, hot pants, sheer dresses, and deep V-neck tops, sure. But a nearly floor-length frock? And yet, if anyone can make a seemingly conservative garment seem NSFW, it's Jennifer Lopez. The actress and singer has a knack for transforming any garment into a showstopper simply by wearing it.
Lopez was spotted shopping for furniture in West Hollywood on Tuesday wearing a denim Valentino dress with Chloé aviators, a Gucci shoulder bag, and knee-high boots. But what made the outfit so noteworthy and bold was that her choice of footwear could only be seen through the waist-high slits on the dress. Daring? Yes. Worth copying? Absolutely.
