Fashion Meets Astrology on the Red Carpet

The designer previously told WWD, “I am really attached to this world, and I am curious to know about the future, and about this world that is really mysterious and really old, you know. You don’t know if it’s true or not, or the meaning, and I love signs and symbols.”

Jennifer Lopez’s Three Head-Turning Outfits in 1 Press Day
Jennifer Lopez, famed for her bold and glamorous fashion sense, always turns heads with her outfits, whether she’s gracing a red carpet event or just out and about in town.
On Thursday, February 15, she was spotted in New York City, making her way into ABC Studios for a promotional appearance on The View to discuss her latest film, This Is Me…Now: A Love Story.
True to form, Lopez showcased her penchant for extravagant style by flaunting not one, not two, but three eye-catching ensembles throughout the day.
1. Cozy in Dark Purple The Attico Jacket
Jennifer Lopez’s first outfit for the Today show was a tribute to her legendary Jenny from the Block days.
Sporting a hip-hop-inspired attire, she donned an intricate dark purple faux fur coat by The Attico ($3,900 at Mytheresa), overlaying a chic double-breasted cropped wool-blend jacket from Alaïa ($2,500 at Selfridges).

Accentuating her look with signature flair, the Hustlers actress sported oversized black square-shaped sunglasses with brown ombré lenses by Emmanuelle Khanh. She carried her essentials in a black mini Hermès crocodile-embossed Birkin bag.
Completing her cozy appearance, she opted for luminous makeup, including a nude lip, with her hair styled down and a stylish checkered blue cap.
2. Exudes Boss Vibes in a Long Navy Overcoat
Amidst filming, Jennifer Lopez made a surprise appearance outside the studio to greet her fans, showcasing a sophisticated twist on the typical 9-5 office attire.
Her second ensemble infused a touch of glamour into professional wear, featuring a vibrant sky-blue button-up shirt embellished with a layered collar.

Adding a dash of edgy flair, she opted for chunky black leather platform boots adorned with silver studs along the front.
To combat the chilly New York City weather, Lopez draped herself in a long, fuzzy navy overcoat, its length trailing elegantly behind her.
