Jennifer Lopez Copies Zendaya’s Fashion Trend to Stay in the Spotlight (No Ben Affleck Needed)

Jennifer Lopez once again stole the show, this time at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of her new film The Mother. The project holds deep personal significance for the star—not only is it a musical she describes as a “lifelong dream,” but it also marks a chapter of resilience, filmed during her highly publicized divorce from Ben Affleck.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” Lopez told Variety, reflecting on the film’s inspiration. She credits her career path to childhood viewings of West Side Story, which her mother introduced her to, sparking her love for storytelling.

But it wasn’t just the film that turned heads. Lopez embraced Hollywood’s latest red-carpet trend: method dressing. Channeling her character’s edgy persona, she arrived in a jaw-dropping spiderweb-inspired ensemble by designer Valdrin Ahiti.

The black, beaded gown shimmered like a spider’s silk, paired with chunky platform boots, Hassanzadeh jewelry, and a tousled ’90s blowout reminiscent of Pamela Anderson’s iconic style. The look screamed “daring”—and it worked.

Lopez isn’t alone in using fashion to amplify her role. Margot Robbie’s Barbie-core wardrobe and Zendaya’s sci-fi glam for Dune and Challengers have set the stage for this trend.

Notably, Zendaya’s 2019 Spider-Man: Far From Home premiere featured a similar arachnid-themed Armani Privé gown, while Dakota Johnson recently donned a sheer Annie’s Ibiza design for Madame Web in Brazil.

Yet Lopez made the trend her own. Her Sundance look wasn’t just about aesthetics—it wove her character’s mystique into the spotlight, proving that for J.Lo, fashion is never just about the clothes.

It’s a storytelling tool, a nod to her art, and a reminder that even after decades in the game, she’s still redefining what it means to shine.
