When you think of an ideal holiday party outfit, velvet suits, sequin and feathered dresses, or a festive two-piece set likely comes to mind. A sense of glam and dressiness goes hand-in-hand with the season, after all. But according to Jennifer Lopez, you don’t need to go so over-the-top when it comes to celebrating with friends and family. Case in point: The superstar stepped out in Hollywood last night for a screening of her new film Unstoppable, and wore a chic casual outfit that would still look perfectly appropriate for any year-end bash. Can denim be dressy? J.Lo says yes—if you add a snazzy blazer and elevated accessories, that is.
Lopez grounded her outfit with a pair of light-wash flared jeans. While one wouldn’t immediately think of denim for a holiday party, she paired the pants with a similarly-toned blue blazer, as well as a sheer pussyblow blouse—instantly making the jeans feel polished and ready for evening. Her choice of accessories also helped—namely, her luxurious Hermès Birkin bag (her go-to) and sky-high platforms. All together, it made for an unlikely party look that stands out from the expected sea of feathers, crystals, and shimmer. Though, feel free to pair those with jeans, too; End 2024 by making your own rules!
