Jennifer Lopez showcased her unparalleled style at the prestigious 2024 Met Gala. Striding onto the iconic Met steps, she assumed her role as co-chair alongside Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny, exuding her signature glamour and elegance. And while she looked undeniable gorgeous, people were noticing the same thing.

Adhering to the “Garden of Time” dress code, the 54-year-old Lopez stunned in a sheer Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown, adorned with sparkling embellishments resembling butterfly wings.

She complemented her ethereal ensemble with mesmerizing jewels from Tiffany & Co., while elegantly styling her hair in a slightly tousled topknot.

Her gown, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, demanded over 800 hours of meticulous hand embroidery. Crafted with 2,500,000 silver foil bugles and beads, its beauty was not confined to the front; from every angle, including the back, it radiated sheer magnificence.
