Jennifer Lopez was photographed in jeans covered with dirt while shopping with her daughter Emme in Los Angeles, on October 30, 2024.
The pop star stepped out confidently in a relaxed, casual outfit recently, but fans were quick to express their disapproval of her jeans, questioning their style and age appropriateness.
Lopez popped out with her daughter Emme in Acne Studios’s Super Baggy Fit Jeans, which are mid-waist. The brand’s website describes these super wide-leg pants as having “fading and smudging throughout,” contributing to a trendy construction worker-chic aesthetic that is currently fashionable.
To balance the shabby aesthetic of her wide-leg pants, “The Mother” star paired them with refined pieces, including a ribbed & Other Stories Mock Neck Jumper and a large Bottega Veneta tote bag.
On her feet, she wore Classic Twin Seam New Heights Ugg boots, a modern take on the classic suede style, featuring distinctive seams and a curved sole. Jennifer Lopez and Emme ignored the paparazzi as they stepped into American Rag Cie to shop before Halloween.
Online users had mixed reactions about Lopez’s choice of jeans during this outing. One surprised commenter questioned, “Are her pants … Dirty? Or is that the style these days?” Another seemed puzzled by her choice at her age, remarking, “I really don’t get that st [sic] 55 she dresses like this.”
An online user suggested an upgrade, “She really needs new pants,” while someone humorously urged, “The pants ..please trow [sic] them in the trash please!!!!🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪.” Meanwhile, a disappointed fan asked, “JLO my love what’s with those jeans?😢”
Yet, her look still garnered admiration. Fans wrote simple, approving notes like, “Pretty.” Another admirer gushed, “Beautiful!❤️” An amazed fan also penned, “She doesn’t age 😍.”
Others praised her style overall, “Jlo look [sic] amazing in whatever she wore😍” and another user concurred, “She’s always cute.”
Lopez is often recognized for her timeless elegance in the public eye, some of which stir lively discussions among her fanbase. Her most recent appearance isn’t the first time she has been celebrated by some and critiqued by others for her unconventional denim choice.
In April 2024, she was spotted descending a set of brownstone steps, donning a similar pair of baggy jeans like the one she wore on her outing with Emme. These jeans also appeared distressed and discolored, an unusual departure from her typically polished looks.
She paired the jeans with an elegant, long navy coat, exuding an urban chic vibe, and complemented it with a cashmere turtleneck sweater. Shielding her eyes with large sunglasses, Lopez carried a standout turquoise Chanel bag, adding a splash of opulence to the street-savvy outfit.
Despite her impeccable style history, fans were divided over this latest look. Her enthusiasts lauded her appearance, “That’s how I like her, looking great,” a sentiment seconded by others who felt Lopez could do no wrong, fashion-wise.
A second comment added to the chorus of praise, “Incredibly beautiful and elegant!! Unique Jlo!!!” emphasizing the uniqueness that Lopez brings to her style choices. Another user simply diverged from the matter at hand to declare her love for the star with, “I love Jen.”
Conversely, some fans were less than impressed. A third commenter did not mince words, declaring, “Worst jeans I’ve ever seen on a woman. Another lamented, “The outfit is elegant except for those nasty jeans😒,” while another wrote, “And those jeans look filthy!”
In similar disapproval, another user called the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” songstress “a mess,” citing the jeans as a significant detractor from the star’s usual elegance. Another blatantly declared, “She has no dress sense!”
Meanwhile, others rallied to Lopez’s defense, clarifying the intention behind the fashion choice. One user provided a counter-narrative, “They are not dirty that is the style of those pants,” suggesting a misinterpretation by the critics.
Criticism aside, Lopez’s hallmark is her adaptable fashion sense—seamlessly shifting from street-chic flair to couture elegance, all while preserving the distinctive personal touches that are unmistakably JLo.
Lopez has long navigated the ever-shifting tides of fashion with grace, as comfortable in the rugged casualness of jeans and Timberlands as she is in the high glamour of Valentino Haute Couture.
“I like baby hairs and big hoops and gold jewelry,” she confessed, revealing the personal flourishes that anchor her diverse fashion choices. These personal touches, regardless of trends, remain steadfastly woven into the fabric of her distinctive look.
Neglected dog arrived at shelter nearly starved to death — now he’s living his best life
Some animals arrive at shelters in heartbreaking condition, but with a little love their lives can totally turn around.
That was the case for one neglected dog, who was found nearly starving to death, but in the weeks since has been making incredible strides.
In September, the South Suburban Humane Society, in Illinois, took in a severely emaciated dog named Pumpkin. He was first found by a local resident who thought he was dying and brought him to the police.
Emily Klehm, CEO of the South Suburban Humane Society, told Newsweek that while they rescue many dogs, Pumpkin’s was an “extreme case” that left them speechless. “He was severely emaciated and unable to walk,” she said.
Photos show how unbelievably thin the dog was — it’s a miracle he survived at all.
Vets administered fluids and shaved his matted fur. Despite the rough start, he started to perk up and went into foster care with one of the shelter employees.
“Thankfully, we got him into foster care, where he is starting to improve and stand on his own again,” the shelter wrote on Facebook. “His journey is still long, but we are incredibly proud of him so far.”
Updates from the shelter show the remarkable improvement Pumpkin has made in just a short time. While he was unable to stand when they first found him, he can now walk around the yard on his own, wagging his tail.
“This little man is so strong and getting better every single day,” the shelter wrote.
Though he’s still visibly thin, he has been slowly regaining weight. “This little man is progressing, and we cannot wait to see how much more he continues to improve!” South Suburban Humane Society wrote.
Pumpkin’s backstory is still unclear, but the shelter says he will be placed up for adoption once he gets medical clearance.
“Pumpkin will need a home that understands that he was severely neglected,” Klehm told Newsweek. “He doesn’t know how to be a dog, so everything from leash walking to toys are all new experiences for him. An experienced dog family would be best.”
In the meantime, he’s doing well and loves his foster home.
It’s heartbreaking that Pumpkin was neglected for so long, but we’re so glad he’s doing well and regaining weight — we hope he finds a forever home soon when he’s ready!
