Jennifer Lopez was seen carrying a stylish Hermès Birkin bag (which can range from $5,000 to $500,000) as she grabbed lunch at the exclusive San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood recently. The 54-year-old singer sported wide-leg khaki pants, a belted waist, open-toe heels, and a cropped cardigan with bell sleeves.
Completing her outfit with long hair extensions, big gold hoop earrings, and oversized sunglasses, Lopez channeled the iconic Jackie Kennedy Onassis. She is set to co-chair the upcoming Met Gala on May 6th in New York City, which will have a theme of ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’. Joining her as co-chairs are Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth.
This will be the 14th time the Grammy nominee has attended the Costume Institute benefit, with her first appearance dating back to 2004 when she wore Dolce & Gabbana in honor of the 18th century. Last year, she paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld by wearing Ralph Lauren to the event. Lopez expressed her excitement and gratitude for being part of such a prestigious event.
Jennifer Lopez was spotted carrying a small Hermès Birkin bag, which can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $500,000, while grabbing lunch at the exclusive San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood over the weekend. Speaking to Vogue on April 17, she mentioned how it was a huge honor to co-host the Met Gala with Anna Wintour, calling it the biggest night in fashion. She also revealed that she was still deciding on her gown for the event, as she likes to have multiple options and choose at the last minute to create the perfect look.
In 2021, Jennifer and her then-boyfriend Ben Affleck made headlines by sharing a kiss at the Met Gala, while wearing masks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This came just two years after Jennifer had attended the campy-themed 2019 Met Gala with her then-fiancé Alex Rodriguez, dressed in a fringed Versace gown.
Recently, Jennifer has been facing criticism online for appearing unrelatable and for her extravagant vanity projects, such as her “This Is Me… Now” album, movie, documentary, and tour. Comments on her social media posts often criticize her for not staying true to her Bronx roots, accuse her of shutting down a TikToker, and question her vocal performances by comparing them to those of African-American singers like Ashanti, Christina Milian, and Brandy.
In 2002, fans pointed out that Jennifer used the chorus and bridge vocals of her back-up vocalist Natasha Ramos in the hit song “Jenny from the Block” without giving her credit. Despite the backlash, Jennifer had to cancel some shows of her tour due to poor ticket sales and rebrand the remaining dates as “This Is Me… Live: The Greatest Hits” tour, starting on June 26.
The 54-year-old singer kept up her trend of wearing loose-fitting trousers by sporting wide-legged, belted khakis. She paired them with peep-toe heels and a cropped brown cardigan with bell sleeves.
Jennifer completed her day-time ensemble by adding waist-length hair extensions to her usual bob hairstyle, along with some statement gold hoop earrings, and oversized sunglasses reminiscent of the iconic late First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
In 1971, Onassis was seen sporting her iconic oversized sunglasses.
Lopez, as shown in a picture taken on April 18, is thrilled to be one of the co-chairs for the upcoming Met Gala on May 6th in Manhattan. The theme for the event is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and she will be joined by Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth.
This will be the 14th time the singer has graced the Costume Institute benefit, starting back in 2004 when she rocked a Dolce & Gabanna look inspired by the 18th century.

At the Met Gala in 2021, Jennifer made a stylish statement in a western-inspired Ralph Lauren outfit, showcasing her unique fashion taste. Two years earlier, she dazzled the red carpet at the campy-themed Met Gala in 2019, rocking a stunning silver-fringed Versace ensemble.
Lopez is set to showcase her talents in Brad Peyton’s upcoming film Atlas, where she will take on the role of the brilliant yet cynical data analyst Atlas Shepherd. The movie is scheduled to debut on Netflix on May 24.
The star-studded cast of the artificial intelligence-driven sci-fi thriller also includes Sterling K. Brown, Simu Liu, and Mark Strong.
Additionally, Lopez is busy producing her next two acting projects. She is working on a big-screen remake of Kiss of the Spider Woman with Bill Condon, as well as a biopic about Anthony Robles titled Unstoppable, which is being helmed by William Goldenberg.
