Two Decades of Style: Jennifer Lopez’s Iconic Met Gala Looks

Jennifer Lopez has been a consistent presence among the fashion-forward celebrities at the Met Gala, showcasing her stunning style with sexy dress choices since 2004.

Back in 2004, there was a famous moment when a popular celebrity graced the red carpet in a stunning black lace dress paired with a luxurious fur coat designed by Dolce & Gabbana. The outfit perfectly captured the essence of the event’s theme, “Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century.”

Fast forward to 2024, and we see Jennifer Lopez taking on the role of co-host at the prestigious Met Gala, alongside Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth. The gala, which took place on May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts in the USA, featured the enchanting theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” This theme paid homage to timeless garments that are too precious to wear, like relics from the past displayed in glass cases, akin to a slumbering princess awaiting her awakening.

Furthermore, the dress code for this year’s event was “The Garden of Time,” perfectly aligning with the overarching theme of time as showcased in the fashion exhibition.

Vogue has consistently recognized Jennifer Lopez, also known as J.Lo, as a style icon at the Met Gala for two decades now, starting from her debut in 2004. Her outfit choices not only reflected the event’s theme with grace but also perfectly complemented her figure, making her stand out effortlessly.

In Vogue’s 2007 feature on Poiret: King of Fashion, Jennifer was likened to a classic movie star in her elegant ivory Marchesa dress.
