J Lo’s See-Through Chainmail Dress Dominates the Barbiecore Moment
June 15, 2023 at 10:29PM
Jennifer Lopez pulled out all the stops for her latest campaign images celebrating drop three of her JLo Jennifer Lopez shoe collection for Revolve. The 53-year-old multihyphenate will now be creating drops exclusively for the retailer, with a capsule launch that lures in her fan base with a penchant for going out. In newly released images lensed by Dennis Leupold, she sports a pink chainmail naked dress that appears to be dripping off her body, revealing the sure-to-be popular , a 5-inch heel with ostrich feathers embellishing one ankle strap and one toe strap. The eye-catching asymmetrical look was complemented by an ab-baring cutout number with a groovy, ‘70s-inspired print decorated with fringe. This dress was finished with the crystallized Gabels platform in a bright shade of green called Parakeet.
Lopez was styled by her usual glam team for the shoot, including Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, who accessorized this particular Barbiecore-esque moment minimally, with just her green-stone engagement ring and wedding band stack. Chris Appleton set her brown hair into long, cascading curls, Mary Phillips swept on lavender eyeshadow and an exaggerated cat eye to play up a ’60s aesthetic, and Tom Bachik painted a glossy nude nail, so as not to distract from the rest of the ensemble.
“The dress really makes the shoe pop, which is what it is really all about.”
At a cocktail gathering in Beverly Hills on March 18, Lopez and Revolve invited the likes of Chloe and Halle Bailey, Tiffany Haddish, and Christina Milian to celebrate the shoes, where Lopez wore the Jenny silhouette – this time with an iridescent Julien Macdonald gown replete with a thigh-high leg slit. While she arrived in a shaggy David Koma coat holding a mirrored clutch, Lopez eventually stripped back to pose for photos, fanning open her pleated skirt to draw attention to her glittering sequined one-shoulder bodysuit – the foundation of the design. She accessorized with a pair of custom 8 Other Reasons architectural earrings that grazed her shoulders.
The rest of the campaign that coincides with the partnership, for drops one and two, aptly stars Lopez, presenting the footwear that is currently with prices ranging from $139-$275. Zangardi talked to POPSUGAR about coordinating outfits around the shoes, explaining: “Jennifer loves shoes! When shooting for her footwear campaigns, we build the looks from the shoes up, and that includes the set design and her poses. Jennifer is a pro, and we’ve worked together for such a long time, that honestly it comes to her so naturally. She can bring anything to life.” His intention is always to make her feel confident while ensuring she can move easily.
In what is perhaps her most striking outfit from drop one (most pieces were sourced from Revolve to complement Lopez’s favorite shoes from the range), she layers a custom netted gown with a thigh-high slit over a , strategically fashioning her leg around the fabric to highlight an ostrich-feather-trimmed stiletto. “To me, this shot screams J Lo and the evolution of her and her brand,” Zangardi says, deeming it his personal favorite ensemble, which you can scroll to see ahead.
In yet another design to write home about, the “This Is Me… Now” singer shows off her toned stomach in a multi-cutout that has a liquid effect. The bodice is made up of just two thin strips of fabric, positioned into a cross shape and baring a whole lot of skin. Lopez works the look with sandals that boast a crystal-embellished, sculptural platform, standing tall at six inches. “The dress really makes the shoe pop, which is what it is really all about,” Zangardi says.
