Jennifer was also there with her vocal coach Stevie Mackey. The celebrity crew also attended the Met Gala after-party in New York City, with the singer changing into a more comfortable outfit, but keeping up with the theme of the evening, in celebration of Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy.

The star has a close relationship with her sister. She previously shared a sweet tribute to Lynda during International Women’s Day, including her older sister Leslie Lopez. Lynda is known for keeping her personal life private, however, she also works in the entertainment business, as a journalist and co-founder of Nuyorican Productions.
