Jennifer Lopez Channels Bridal Style at John Kander’s 98th Birthday Benefit in New York

Jennifer Lopez celebrated composer John Kander's 98th birthday in New York City with a glamorous evening that featured two distinct and stylish ensembles. She first appeared at a benefit concert wearing a peach satin backless slip dress by The New Arrivals by Ilkyaz Ozel, paired with a feathered jacket and custom transparent mules by Femme LA, showcasing a nod to the clear heel trend. For the afterparty, Lopez changed into a sophisticated, high-neck white gown from Stephane Rolland’s Fall 2023 Couture collection, featuring a dramatic thigh-high slit and an embellished diamanté collar, styled with metallic silver platform heels and diamond hoop earrings. Lopez expressed her excitement about starring in the film adaptation of Kander’s musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, which premiered at Sundance and is set for October release, fulfilling her long-held dream of performing in a major Hollywood musical. She is also preparing to host the American Music Awards for the first time since 2015. The event highlighted Lopez's evolving fashion and career milestones post-divorce, blending timeless elegance with bold glamour.
