Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a semi-sheer backless silver lace dress as she left her hotel in Paris on Tuesday for Paris Fashion Week.
The 57-year-old singer and actress, known globally for her pop hits and Hollywood film roles, appeared in high spirits as she headed out for a day of fashion events across the French capital.
Lopez went braless in the glamorous silver lace number, teaming the outfit with large orange-tinted sunglasses. She opted for comfort on her feet with flat shoes and white socks, while accessorising with a tiny gold heart necklace and wearing her golden hair off her back in a loose claw clip. Choosing a natural makeup look, the star gave a wave over her shoulder to greet fans waiting outside.
Paris Fashion Week schedule and debuts
Paris Fashion Week returned on Monday for its Womenswear Spring/Summer 2027 edition, bringing together top international fashion houses and designers in France. The city is hosting a record-breaking 68 runway shows and 34 presentations across a packed nine-day schedule.
The spotlight during this season's event is on two major creative directorship debuts: Drew Henry is unveiling his first collection for Courrèges, while Kai Nesselrath is making his debut at Carven. Paris Fashion Week is one of the four major global fashion events held annually alongside shows in New York, London, and Milan.
The French capital's fashion week kicked off in spectacular style on Monday night when Canadian singer Celine Dion made an unannounced appearance at the annual L'Oréal Paris event directly beneath the Eiffel Tower, where she performed her hit song I'm Alive.
Milan Fashion Week and Dolce and Gabbana partnership
Lopez arrived in Paris fresh from attending Milan Fashion Week in Italy last week. While in Milan, the On The Floor hitmaker attended Vogue World as well as an afterparty hosted by luxury Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana.
The American songstress shares a longstanding, close working relationship and friendship with Dolce & Gabbana, which was founded in Milan by designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The Daily Mail learned that Lopez has secured an eye-popping $20 million (£14.7 million) deal to become the new face of the fashion brand.
Concerns over intensive workload
Her high-profile appearance in Paris comes following reports that friends have grown concerned she may be heading towards burnout by taking on an overwhelming schedule. Those close to Lopez are reportedly worried that her current workload carries echoes of the nervous breakdown she suffered in 2002, and are desperate to avoid history repeating itself.
In addition to her multi-million dollar campaign with Dolce & Gabbana, Lopez is planning an international tour for next year while managing acting commitments and movie promotions. She is set to promote two upcoming films: The JLo Show, a project focused on her recent Las Vegas residency, and the upcoming crime thriller The Last Mrs Parrish.
Personal life changes and insider statements
Insiders revealed that Lopez has been keeping busy to navigate a challenging emotional period following her painful divorce from actor Ben Affleck. Her packed calendar also coincides with her twins, Max and Oskar, who was formerly known as Emme, leaving home to attend college.
An insider revealed: "She is working her tail off because she wants to stay busy, though there is some concern she may burn out. But this is how she stays sane during this weird time in her life."
The insider added: "It's not an easy time for Jennifer, there are a lot of changes, it's very emotional, but she finds comfort in working nonstop, which is great because her career is still doing very well... She just works, works, works! She likes to be a workaholic, she is incredibly driven, a typical Type-A Leo who wants to never be out of the spotlight..."
"For her, working is better than staying at home eating takeout from Nobu alone in front of the TV. She would rather wake up at 5am and put in a 14-hour day and never complain," said the source. "But one day she may wake up completely exhausted."
