    Whether she's wearing heavily cut-out dresses or velvet skirts in summer, Jennifer Lopez always holds our attention. This weekend, for a business meeting with her longtime manager, Benny Medina, Lopez wore a Valentino runway look combining structured workwear pieces with fun metallics.

    Taken from Valentino's Pre-Fall 2026 RTW collection, the Hustlers actress's outfit features a long gray pinstripe blazer with a white collar and a black and white polka-dot pussy bow in place of a tie. Defying expectation, the smart blazer is paired with a floral, lightly-pleated skirt, constructed from a shimmery metallic material.

    The contrast between the fitted blazer and the shimmering skirt makes Lopez's workwear choice seriously striking.

    As if her Valentino ensemble wasn't exciting enough on its own, Lopez accessorized the look with Spring 2027's burgeoning velvet bag trend.

    Notably, the "I'm Real" singer appeared to be carrying a Saint Laurent Kate Clutch on Chain in Black Velvet, which retails for $3,200. The sleek bag features "a cord strap with passementerie tassels for shoulder carry," per the official website, and perfectly fits into the forthcoming Spring 2027 craze.
