Netizens have less than pleasant things to say about the outfit that Jennifer Lopez wore to an industry event, where she was joined by one of her kids.
On April 3, 2025, some of Hollywood’s biggest stars stepped out in style to attend the Broadway Opening Night of “Good Night, And Good Luck,” in New York. Among the A-listers was Jennifer Lopez who captured attention in a simple yet chic ensemble. However, online spectators were not too pleased with what she donned.
Lopez wore a sculpted black velvet gown by designer Saiid Kobeisy, which featured a sharply defined, plunging sweetheart neckline that played with structure while celebrating old Hollywood glamour.
But it was the outer layer of her ensemble that added theater to the moment. She donned an ivory cape with exaggerated puffed shoulders that burst outward like folded satin origami, then tumbled into a floor-length cascade that enveloped her in a cloud-like flourish.
As cameras clicked and onlookers craned for a better view, Lopez let the cape slip away, revealing the true star of the show: her silhouette-skimming masterpiece that hugged every contour of her frame.
Her décolletage sparkled beneath the city lights, thanks to a vintage Van Cleef & Arpels necklace adorned with onyx and round brilliant-cut diamonds set on a gold chain.
The finishing touches — a sleek clutch, soft glam makeup, and flowing center-parted hair — tied the entire vision together in classic Jennifer Lopez fashion — bold, unapologetic, and unmissable.
As photos and videos from the night began circulating across social media, netizens quickly took to comment sections to share their thoughts, and much of the feedback leaned toward the scathing side.
Several people zeroed in on her voluminous white cape, drawing unflattering comparisons. One commenter bluntly declared, “Ridiculous,” while another opined, “looks [sic] like a bed sheet!”
A similarly bemused critic remarked, “Shocking dress,” and another didn’t mince words, writing, “The worst ever JLo’s outfit 😢 [sic].”
Others took a more humorous route in expressing their disapproval. One observer joked about how they also used to wear bedsheets as a cape when they were younger, referencing Lopez’s white overcoat accessory.
Another sarcastically asked, “Did she get her shower curtain stuck on her back????😂.” Someone else quipped about the ensemble’s proportions, wondering, “Why would you ruin that beautiful dress with a parachute.” A fellow naysayer took issue with what they saw as a mismatch between the outfit and the occasion.
Despite the heavy wave of criticism, not all responses were negative. A handful of admirers praised Lopez’s bold fashion sense and natural beauty.
One fan applauded, “Jennifer is always taking Couture to a new level of fashion. Beautiful.💃🏻 Always wearing something unique.” A fellow supporter gushed, “What a beautiful woman!! ❤️❤️ My God!! No filter.”
While netizens certainly had a lot to say about the “Selena” actress, she was not the only member of her family that received attention online.
One of her twins, Emme Muñiz, who accompanied Lopez to the event, also garnered reactions to her appearance. The teenager sported a black suit and tie with a white shirt and black sneakers.
Upon seeing videos and photos of the duo, one person commented, “She’s so beautiful queen. [Emme] is everything. God bless you coconut ❤️,” while another remarked, “Her child looks like dad [sic].”
However, some comments were more critical. “Did she really ask her daughter to move for solo photos? 🤷♀️ Over dressed, overdone, overly self absorbed. Her poor daughter having to live in her shadow [sic],” wrote a particularly opinionated spectator.
Touching on the same topic, another person added, “That’s so rude. And she actually lets her daughter get out the [sic] way to have her solo moment. I would have kept my daughter next to me.” However, while some comments negatively focused on the actress’ solo photo moment, others struck a more positive tone.
Several praised the pair’s appearance and noted how happy Muñiz looked, describing the moment as heartwarming and special. One supporter even remarked on the resemblance between Muñiz and the teenager’s famous father, Marc Anthony, adding to the range of reactions.
This is not the first time Lopez and the teen have made headlines this year. During their outing on March 23, the actress and Muñiz dressed to impress for the Broadway Opening Night of A-listers Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal’s revival of “Othello” at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York.
Lopez and Muñiz coordinated in black and white ensembles, with the singer wearing a black faux fur jacket along with what appeared to be a black top and a matching floor-length skirt with scattered beadwork.
Meanwhile, Muñiz opted for a black and white striped suit paired with a formal gray shirt, dark tie, and black shoes.
The pair also accessorized with jewelry. Muñiz wore earrings on their earlobes and along the upper part of one ear, paired with several rings. Meanwhile, Lopez opted for silver drop earrings, and a statement ring and carried a black clutch.
After seeing photos of Muñiz posing on the red carpet, one person commented, “She’s like the female version of her dad.❤️.” Sharing a similar thought, another netizen wrote, “That is Mark Anthony’s twin. Looks just like him, when he started 30+ years ago.”
Echoing the same sentiment, someone else described the 17-year-old as a “Little mark [sic] Anthony,” while another person reiterated, “Looking just like the dad.” The comparisons to Muñiz’s father continued as yet another netizen exclaimed, “Wow… Mark Anthony [sic] genes are very strong 🙌.”
A fellow online spectator also confessed, “I thought that was Mark Anthony. 😂.” On the other hand, another individual admitted, “[I] thought that was a boy 😢.”
“This is so cute, Jen looks great and Emme is already very big omg ❤️,” a fan remarked. Praising Muñiz’s appearance, a fellow admirer stated, “Emme looking sharp!”
Muñiz’s dad, Anthony, is Lopez’s ex-husband and the father of her twins (Emme and Max Muñiz). From the wave of reactions the vocalist’s appearance with her child drew, it’s clear that the duo’s stylish presence left a memorable impression on the red carpet.
