Although Jennifer Lopez claims to still be the girl from the block, her remarkable list of past and present achievements proves that she’s come a long way. Just this past weekend, Jennifer rocked the stage during the Chime For Change concert, Gucci’s philanthropic initiative to educate girls and women worldwide. Fans will get a personal glimpse of her stage-life in her highly anticipated upcoming 3D concert movie Jennifer Lopez: Dance Again. But, in addition to the big screen, J.Lo has put on her small screen producer hat with her new television show, “The Fosters” and a few other fan favorites.
The multi-hyphenate, who has impeccable taste and style has also created a collection of clothing for the Kohl’s Cares program, which has so far generated $7 million for breast-cancer research, education, and patient assistance. When it comes to style and fashion, Jennifer’s knack for looking amazing never falls short. If you’re looking for inspiration on pulling together a sophisticated summer look with a fiery edge, look no further than some of the best outfits from today’s Star Style, Jennifer Lopez.
Unfortunately, women who have curves know all too well about the saga of crack-revealing pants when sitting. The answer? Trousers with a higher waistband. After all, we all can’t wear low-rise. If you spot a pair of ’70s-inspired high-waist, wide-leg pants, your curves (and look) will thank you kindly.
When the temperatures fluctuate during the late spring and early summer months, keeping it cool yet spicy is the best way to sizzle while out doing your thing. What says “sizzle” more than a pair of open-toe, studded red booties? Nothing. But when you add a pair of perfectly skinny jeans and an airy white top into the mix — the outfit says sexy, in an understated way.
Simply stated — curves and chevron stripes always work in unison.
Electrifying style is always a must during the summer, and neon is the best way to shine brightly. You can absolutely color-block neon, too, with a complementing bright such as fuchsia … or even tone it down with a muted army green.
Even though eyelet lace is the sweet and frilly fabric of the season, you can give it a grown and sexy twist by choosing to wear eyelet short-shorts.
If you want to give the illusion of baring your midriff without actually doing so, the crop top-high-waist skirt is the perfect solution. To avoid a full-on peek-a-boo of your stomach, try wearing a tank top in a different color underneath the crop top.
The corset- and bodice-inspired tops and dresses are a major trend for summer and a great option for looking sexy, not sleazy. But there is a right and a wrong way to attempt pulling off inner-wear as outer-wear, and here J.Lo does it right. Warning: Wear the right bra, please.
The sundress is a summer staple that must be worn wisely. When shopping for one, think of it as you would when searching for the right pair of jeans. If you’re curvy like Jennifer, look for a dress that has more volume on the bottom, but highlights the waist.
