How to Rock a Power Suit Like Jennifer Lopez

A three-piece gray suit is synonymous with a high-profile executive, and this Dolce&Gabbana design with wide legs and pronounced shoulders allowed J. Lo to take the sign onto the androgynous trend, accentuating her feminine side with an unbuttoned V-neck dress shirt and wavy locks.

The star of the movie Hustlers makes the most out of the monochromatic look not only because it’s a fashion trend, but also because of its ability to slenderize, since it gives the eye an uninterrupted visual path that favors the idea of verticality. This design by Sally LaPointe uniquely perfects the trend, crafted out of flowy fabric and paired with a draped high neck top.

Looking this amazing should be a crime. Jennifer Lopez has had her share of sartorial moments on the stage: case in point her Michael Jackson “Smooth Criminal” moment when she sang her hit “Dinero” at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. She rocked this white three-piece zoot suit by Tom Ford , giving her the look of a stylish mafia boss, appropriately accessorized in bling complete with wallet chain, belt, bangles, and rhinestone-encrusted mic.

Known for her ultra-feminine style and her love for monochromatic looks, this white skirt suit is probably the most J. Lo-style silhouette in this whole selection. Sticking with the tailored jacket concept, this all-white look from Michael Kors showcases her femininity not just with its peplum frill and pronounced shoulders, but also with the plunging neckline and the slit-front pencil skirt.

A tailored black suit is one of those pieces that should be a part of every woman’s wardrobe; it’s so versatile that it can be worn anywhere, even in a pinch. But when Jennifer Lopez is wearing one there’s nothing basic about it: this cropped blazer and pants combination worn with a sheer tuxedo shirt makes the Diva of the Bronx stand out, even when she’s surrounded by suits.

With a double-breasted jacket and paper bag pants, this military-inspired green suit by Brunello Cucinelli gives the mother-of-two a relaxed and easy-going look, even when she decides to wear it with sky-high Christian Louboutin lace-up booties, aviators, and her hair in a high ponytail that for a time was her go-to style.

Jennifer Lopez is a symbol of success, there’s no doubt about it. Even though she didn’t need to wear a suit to be successful in everything she’s set her mind to, you’ve got to give it to her⁠—when she puts on a power suit she makes it that much more obvious who she is: not just the diva, but the boss of the Bronx.
