    I hate hate hate to admit it -but he skin and legs look amazing here. How is she over 40? 
    Normally she looks like she’s trying to hard but this dress is surprisingly demure for JLo.
    I’m not in love with the half pepulum curtains but the color and fit are outstanding on her and the shoes are perfection. The bad, while I love it, doesn’t seem to be going to the same event. Some earrings would have been nice and either a cuff or cocktail ring for the finishing touch.

       She’s really a gorgeous woman – I have no problem acknowledging that. But so often her fashion choices detract from her natural beauty.

      • BazoDee

        She’s on my irrational hate list. Key word being irrational. 

        • http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

           Oh, I’m not a fan either. But I have to admit that she is beautiful.

    It’s a little too “twee” for JLo. I wish someone would help her find that perfect middle ground between “SKIN! BOOBS! LEGS!” and “I borrowed this dress from my daughter.” 

    • NC_Meg

      Totally agree. She went from total diva to Zooey D. in what, 24 hours? Crazypants.

    She looks cute, but the whole look feels too juvenile for me.

  • kimmeister

    The butt curtain with the bows takes it straight into twee.

    I kinda like the hair though.

    Dress isn’t anything interesting, although I love the color.  Shoes and bag are great, legs are amazing.  The only accessory I don’t like is the douche who can’t tuck in his shirt before going to the Valentino show.  Sheesh. 

  • ojosazules

    Casper does not look smart. He looks like a waiter who threw on his (nice) coat to go for a quick smoke out in the alley. 
    Her dress is very Easter Sunday. It would love a big church lady hat. There seems to be way too much pink bodice that doesn’t fit properly.

       Hell yes! Church lady hat! And Casper should tuck in his shirt.

  • janetjb

    Too twee.

    Not another babydoll, JLo. We had this convo yesterday. Also, this pink is making you look orange, and I think you might have too much bronzer on around your hairline. 

  • teensmom99

    Hard to judge because I can’t see beyond the fact that the dress is at least one size too small.  Smashed boos, pulling at stomach and down. . . . nope.

    She looks a zillion times better than their last outing.  

  • ChiKat67

    Ooh, someone’s Spanx are working overtime!  Plus, is it just me, or is her face weirdly bronzed?

    • l_c_ann

      Spanx line, left thigh? 

  • SewingSiren

    Is she wearing a hot pink butt cape?

    • YousmelllikeAnnaWintour

      I somehow must work the phrase “hot pink butt cape” into a conversation.  ;)

        “Damn, Sweetie! I left my hot pink butt cape in the limo. Run grab it or we’ll be late for the Valentino show. I said RUN!”

    • 3boysful

       Oh, no–I hope we are not transitioning from exposed zippers to butt capes . . . .

    • formerlyAnon

      I believe that yes, she is.

      What stretches credulity is that I find it a positive wardrobe choice.

  • Trisha26

    He looks sloppy, like the coat though. That dress is something else…but I’m not sure what – wrinkled, too tight? And the bows & foo-foo reverse apron attachment aren’t helping.

  • http://profiles.google.com/scaponigro Sarah Caponigro

    I shouldn’t think this but I think she looks cute.

  • In_Stitches

    How could TLo not have commented on this one!  Oh the opportunities…  Granted, they’ve touched on some hot button issues in the past 24 hours (flattering fuller figures and the ever debatable T Swift) so I can understand why they might want to dodge another touchy subject.  

  • MilaXX

    I know those ripples or whatever they are called are intentional, but I don’t find them particularly flattering on a curvy gal. They would be great for a skinny gal or someone with a boyish figure to give the illusion of curves. Still she looks a whole lot less desperate than her last appearance on the blog.

  • stubbornthoughts

    Wide hips + butt cape = no mirror and no good friends.

  • http://profiles.google.com/gillianholroyd gillian holroyd

    Is it raining? Her legs look wet.

  • schadenfreudelicious

    all for her having a younger boyfriend if she wants, but he seriously looks about 15 in that last shot and it’s creeping me out…plus she really needs to blend that bronzer on her forehead….

  • afabulous50

    No.

  • YousmelllikeAnnaWintour

    Can’t she ever go up a size?!!

  • MissAnnieRN

    The hell?  She’s wearing drapery on her hips.  Lady curtains.  Vagina window treatments.  Like pig tails on her hips, complete with bows. So bizarre.  And it’s too small.

    • http://www.ellenciompi.com/ NurseEllen

       You crack me up, MissAnnie.  If this isn’t an overgrown Barbie outfit, I don’t know what is.

  • LesYeuxHiboux

    Too tight, and not really her shade of pink, but the rest of it is pretty much working. This is her version of “ladylike and low-key”. Her favored “strong eye and nude lip” is starting to look a bit aging, though. Something softer for the face would be nice.

    I take it back. I looked again and that rocker-girl bag just isn’t working with the office-diva dress and disco-princess shoes. She looks like a fashion editor’s walk of shame.

  • frannyprof

    Better than the Chanel. Great color. But still looks a bit too juniors for her.

  • 3boysful

    Beautiful from the neck up.  Unflattering dress.  Hate the bag.  Glinda the Good Witch would like her shoes returned.

  • l_c_ann

    Too tight around her hips.  The exaggerated peplum doesn’t hide the multiple folds over her tummy. 
    At least the boytoy could do is tuck in his shirt and put on a tie.  He’s going to a Valentino show and will sit on the front row.  He could show some respect and dress accordingly.  (If he were wearing a tux, her dress would really sing out….elegance.  With him along she looks like she brought some dufus along.)

    • Snailstsichr

       Totally agree – he looks 12 with his shirt untucked. I’m beginning to think he is not worthy of her attention. If you can’t tuck your shirt in for Valentino, all you’re doing is dragging your lady down.

  • Kirsten Henry

    oh god this is too ugly

  • joancarol

    Casper applied baby oil to her legs in the limo.

  • Little_Olive

    I hate it that she can rock ankle straps. I want those shoes, but then I cannot wear ankle straps without looking like I got my legs from a piano.

  • formerlyAnon

    She looks great. 

  • holdmewhileimnaked

    beautiful color, just just push the curtains closer together on the front to minimize absurdity. shoes are not my thing, purse i’ve forgotten but i would love the dress, even on me, w/ that alteration. why oh whycome cant they see something that simple before wearing.

  • CarolinLA

    Didn’t Jordan Sparks wear that?

  • Lisa Kramp

    On overrated performer in a lovely pink dress and a tool in a fabulous coat. That’s all I’m seeing here.

  • neofashionista

    her thighs have curtains how appropriate

  • http://twitter.com/ktbassett Katrina Bassett

    Great hair and makeup. Too bad about the dress.

  • thehousesparrow

    There really should be a better way to add extra fluff to a dress, without making it in the form of curtains (held up by bows, sheesh).
