Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to making a statement with her fashion choices. Whether it’s a jaw-dropping red carpet gown or a daringly high-leg slit, she always manages to captivate the crowd. However, at the recent One&Only One Za’abeel Grand Opening in Dubai, she took a departure from her usual style and opted for something darker, puffier, and uber-dramatic.
Lopez commanded the room in a strapless satin black gown by Giambattista Valli. This romantic, funeral-chic ensemble featured a fitted bodice with a second decorative layer of fabric that was split down the center and folded over itself. The dress continued with a midi A-line skirt, adding a touch of coquettishness with a massive bow that was knotted at her waist and cascaded down below her skirt, all the way to her ankles.

This cape featured a huge, pronounced collar, puffy sleeves, wide cuffs, and an ultra-broad, pleated construction. The combination of the dramatic cape and the black Giambattista Valli dress created an ensemble that exuded elegance and sophistication.
To complete the look, Lopez opted for inky black platform pumps with a life-size floral detail along the ankle strap. These shoes added height and visual interest, while still complementing the overall aesthetic of the outfit.
Of course, no glamorous look would be complete without some dazzling accessories. Lopez adorned herself with a glittery diamond ring and stunning emerald statement earrings surrounded by diamonds. These pieces of jewelry added a touch of sparkle and luxury to the ensemble.
Lopez’s beauty look further enhanced the overall impact of her look. She styled her caramel locks in a sleek, slicked-back ponytail. A few tendrils of hair were artfully pulled out by her ears, softening the slicked-back look and adding a touch of femininity.
Her makeup consisted of a delicate purple smokey eye, rosy blush, and shiny pink lips. This makeup look perfectly complemented the dark and dramatic aesthetic of her outfit, while still allowing her natural beauty to shine through.
