Jennifer Lopez Wears Two Glamorous Gowns for One Night Out in New York City
On Monday night, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in not one but two glamorous looks to celebrate Kiss of the Spider Woman composer John Kander’s 98th birthday.
Lopez began her evening attending a benefit concert for Kander at New York City’s Stephen Sondheim Theatre. The multi-hyphenate wore a spring-inspired peach gown with feathered accents and a rhinestone clutch. She opted for a classic middle part with straight hair.
She changed outfits for the event’s after-party at Bryant Park Grill, choosing a sleek, high-neck white gown, which she paired with bold jewelry. She switched up her hair too, wearing a slicked-back style.
The night celebrated Kander and his extensive oeuvre, which includes the music for Chicago and Cabaret. Lopez is starring in a film adaptation of Broadway’s Kiss of the Spider Woman, which he also worked on.
The Bill Condon-directed musical premiered at Sundance earlier this year and will be released in October. The actress posted photos of her peach gown on Instagram with the caption, “💋🕷️,” nodding to the film’s title.
In an interview with Variety, Lopez expressed how much she’s always wanted to star in a musical. “I was waiting my whole life to be able to do a real big MGM Hollywood musical, and I finally got to do it,” she said.
She continued, “I got into movies because of West Side Story. I thought I was going to do Broadway. I wanted to do musicals. I love musicals. My kids love musicals. My mother did. It was a dream fulfilled in having done the movie.”
Lopez is also gearing up for a busy week ahead. On May 26, she is set to host this year’s American Music Awards. It’ll be the first time she’s hosted since 2015.
