From Common Surname to Uncommon Style: Jennifer Lopez Stuns in Casadei for Prabal Gurung Sandals

Mario, George, and Jennifer Lopez may share the fifth most common Hispanic surname in the world, but there’s no family connection between them.

Each has carved out a distinct place in entertainment: George Lopez as a groundbreaking comedian and actor, Mario Lopez as a charismatic television host, and Jennifer Lopez as an internationally recognized singer, actress, and fashion icon.

George Lopez, of Mestizo Mexican descent, and Mario Lopez Jr., who grew up in a large Catholic family with roots in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, have both enjoyed long careers in comedy and television. Jennifer Lopez, born in New York to Puerto Rican parents, has taken a different path—building a global brand around her music, acting, and unmistakable sense of style.

And while she may share their last name, Jennifer Lopez’s sartorial choices set her apart. From daring red-carpet gowns to sleek late-night ensembles, her fashion moments consistently capture the spotlight, including her unforgettable looks on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The American Idol judge was on the show to discuss her eighth studio album, A.K.A. (2014). Jimmy Kimmel translated the song I Luh Ya Papi, and J.Lo chatted with him about the other songs from the album, including “Big Booty” and “Same Girl.”

For the show’s taping, Jennifer wore a long-sleeved Balmain dress with sheer inserts. She completed the outfit with sparkling white Jimmy Choo pumps.

Inside the Interview: Lopez Discusses Music While Spotlighting Her Chic White Heels

In addition to helping Jimmy Kimmel understand the lyrics of her latest hit single, Jennifer also talked about her new album and how her kids influenced it.

“Luh is short for love,” Kimmel told his audience. “But it can be confusing, especially for older people who don’t know the new lingo, the new abbreviation, so tonight, with Jennifer’s help, I’m going to try to translate the meaning of this song in a new segment called, ‘New Lyrics For Old People.’”

“I put it down for a brother like you / Give it to you right in the car that’s you,” Lopez started singing. “Now that means, ‘I would like to have sex with you in a motor vehicle,’” Kimmel translated.

“That’s right!” Lopez continued to sing, “We can first give you some of this, that’s you / And you’re all that loving that J.Lo, true.”

“So much fun with @JimmyKimmel today talking about @AmericanIdol and #JLoFirstLove Tune in tonight!” Jennifer shared on Instagram.

Casadei’s signature gold-tone blade stiletto heels, which measure about 4.75 inches, gave the singer a boost in height.

Prabal Gurung drew inspiration from the military when he designed his Fall 2013 collection in collaboration with Casadei. Buckles, snakeskin, and primarily black and military green shades dominate his shoe designs.

From a Shared Surname to Signature Style: Jennifer Lopez Defines Fashion on Her Own Terms

While “Lopez” may be one of the most widespread Hispanic surnames, Jennifer Lopez has proven time and again that her style is anything but ordinary. From sky-high stilettos and red carpet glamour to off-duty chic in sneakers and flip-flops, she continues to redefine what it means to be a fashion icon on her own terms.
