Jennifer Lopez tops off an already impressive year with the release of her short film, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, but an ill-timed fur outfit choice threatens to foil her hard work. The 57-year-old set the year sailing with the drop of her This Is Me… Now album which hit number one on a Billboard chart for the first time in a decade. She also released This Is Me Now: A Love Story on February 14 as an accompanying documentary for her latest album. At the peak of the excitement, Jennifer dropped some other promotional content documenting her love journey, on February 27. The film The Greatest Love Story Never Told has received rave reviews since its release. However, something else seems to be stealing the spotlight.
Jennifer Lopez Slays in Layered Brown Look Following Love Story Release
The crooner took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a photo of herself clad in a monochromatic ensemble with multiple shades of brown. Put together by designers Mariel Haem and Rob Zangardi, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a brown fur coat, layered over a walnut brown leather sleeveless top and caramel brown leather pencil skirt.
She accentuated the outfit with a coffee brown Birkin bag, sheer brown tights, and brown pumps somewhere between gold and caramel. Jennifer Lopez accessorized the fur outfit with a pair of bulb earrings and a diamond necklace. Her Sand brown locks added the finishing touch to the corporate chic look. The tucked-in ensemble easily passed for the classiest business look of 2024.
Fans flooded the comment section with words complimenting Jennifer’s appearance. They also made it an avenue to congratulate Jennifer Lopez on the success of The Greatest Love Story Never Told, released a day prior. A fan commented,
“I enjoyed your love story. It was beautiful, funny, sad, and redeeming. Thank you for sharing.”
Another wrote,
“The movie, the documentary, YOU!!!! 🙌🏾 I cried feeling so connected to your story. BRAVA, you did that and you did it your way!!!”
JLo Garners Vitriol in Animal-Based Fabric
More than her electrifying film release, fans were drawn to the fur coat, which added mob wife vibes to her getup. Via comments, several fans criticized the Can’t Get Enough singer for wearing fur and leather, questioning her ethics. Many admitted that while they felt tempted to praise Jennifer Lopez’s beauty and career achievements these past months, seeing her unapologetically wear a fur coat tarnished their admiration. One fan noted,
“I really love what you do but how can anyone wear fur today?! No class, no trend in all this, just more animals slaughtered to satisfy the fantasies of the richest… This is sad.”
Another commented,
“I would say she’s beautiful. But then, I saw all the animals who died for this outfit.”
Another disappointed fan wrote,
“You can still be glamour and fashion and absolutely stunning without the fur. You are such a beacon of light, the first contradicts what I believe you stand for so it’s heartbreaking as a fan to see you wear fur after all these years.”
A fourth fired,
“Eww, only heathens wear the corpses of innocent animals tortured to death for your narcissism. Their blood is on your hands.”
The criticism of Jennifer Lopez’s fur and leather ensemble quickly overshadowed the voices of those singing her praise, ultimately stealing the spotlight. Hence, what would have been a public space for fans to voice their love for the film and congratulate Jennifer Lopez for touching lives with her well-curated love story, became a den of criticism.
