Jennifer Lopez Turns the American Idol Set Into a Runway in Nicolas Jebran & Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” Heels

In April 2015, Jennifer Lopez arrived at the American Idol studios in Los Angeles wearing a heavily embellished Nicolas Jebran mini dress paired with Stuart Weitzman’s barely-there “Nudist” sandals — a combination that captured the sleek, body-conscious red-carpet style dominating the mid-2010s.

The Nicolas Jebran Effect: J.Lo, Beyoncé, and Olivia Munn Embrace His Couture Vision

Lopez styled the beige beaded Nicolas Jebran mini with metallic Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals, keeping the focus on long, clean lines rather than heavy accessories. The minimalist heel became one of her most-worn silhouettes during the American Idol era because it worked equally well with embellished minis and dramatic gowns.

A fan of the designer, she also wore a daring Nicolas Jebran gown at the American Music Awards. However, Lopez is far from the only celebrity spotted in his designs.

In August 2014, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter turned heads in a black Nicolas Jebran Couture dress at the MTV Video Music Awards.

A few years later, Olivia Munn stunned in a sheer, embellished Nicolas Jebran dress and metallic Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards.

Why the Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” Remains a Red-Carpet Essential

Jennifer Lopez finished the look with metallic Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals, a shoe that dominated red carpets throughout the 2010s thanks to its single-band design and nearly invisible profile in photographs.

The style became a favorite among celebrities because it lengthened the leg without competing with heavily detailed dresses.

Earlier that year, Lopez also wore the same Stuart Weitzman silhouette in a different color to the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, reinforcing how central the “Nudist” sandal had become to her red-carpet wardrobe.
