Jennifer Lopez hit her native New York on Monday night to attend the 2023 Met Gala.
Lopez flaunted her figure in a velvet cutout gown by Ralph Lauren, which featured a dramatic bow-shaped train and a collar adorned with floral appliques.
Lopez accessorized with a black veiled fascinator, opera-length gloves and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. She carried a powder pink clutch matching the hue of her gown’s satin skirt. Lopez also added a pair of black Piferi satin platform sandals affixed with rhinestone buckles.

In 2019, she was the recipient of the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Fashion Icon Award.
