We’ve known for a long time that Jennifer Lopez‘s shoe rack is an absolute fantasy, and that her styling choices are just as unique…So much so that she shows up at a basketball game wearing the exact opposite of what we would expect.
If the front row at an NBA game calls for sneakers—and she’s got quite a collection—Lopez gives us glitz and excess in the form of wedge party books she easily could have worn to any of her concerts. She combined the shoes, of course, with the basic garments that would have gone just as well as with a pair of kicks. And with such a simple gesture, the singer and actor made it clear that she is all about unexpected twists and turns. There will never be a look of hers that doesn’t surprise us.
On March 16, Lopez attended the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Golden State Warriors at the Crypto.com Arena with her husband Ben Affleck and his son, Samuel Affleck, wearing an outfit that, without the boots, would be just one of many: A basic white T-shirt that we all have in our closet, a pair of very baggy jeans, and the coup de grace. If Christian Dior believed in the introduction of a red could make an impact at his show, Jennifer Lopez believes in the power of shiny crystals. Very shiny. Dazzling.
Thus, she sits quietly watching the game in her jeweled boots without suffering or being uncomfortable, because they have a wedged heel instead of a stiletto, which makes them a little more sensible (if that word fits such footwear). In any case, if the wrong shoe theory usually refers to wearing sneakers with party dresses, Jennifer Lopez has also inverted it to make it her own, and has implanted the fancy boot in the most prosaic environment. As we were saying, one of those feats that only she can pull off.
