In May 2018, Jennifer Lopez and Jenna Dewan turned the World of Dance For Your Consideration event in North Hollywood into a mini runway, each bringing her signature style in bold black heels.

Lopez embraced ’80s-inspired glamour with Christian Louboutin pumps, while Dewan went for edgy elegance in jeweled Olgana sandals. It’s a throwback fashion face‑off worth revisiting — who do you think nailed the look best?

J. Lo matched her signature smoldering facial expression to a Sergio Hudson shoulder-padded leopard-print dress. She wore her dirty blonde hair in a tight top-knot and toted her essentials in a black, snake-embossed leather clutch.

While Jennifer brought bold ’80s-inspired energy to the carpet, Jenna took a different approach — opting for a sleek, all‑black look with a touch of sparkle.

Showing no signs of stress from her divorce from Channing Tatum one month earlier, Jenna pulled her hair back with a wide, black headband, showing off her glowing, perfectly made-up face.

While the crumpled leather skirt may divide opinions, Jenna’s accessories elevated the look — especially her green Sylva & Cie ring, which perfectly complemented the jeweled accents on her Olgana Paris “Delicate” ankle‑strap sandals.
