Jennifer Lopez once again proved why she’s a global style icon, stealing the spotlight at the “Ring Them Bells: A Birthday Celebration for John Kander” benefit concert on May 19, 2025, held at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City.
Lopez arrived in a stunning peach satin gown by Ilkyaz Ozel, retailing at $835, paired with a dramatic feathered bolero in a matching hue. Her sleek floor-length dress featured a plunging neckline that highlighted her signature glam. She accessorized the outfit with nude mesh heels by FEMME LA, a rhinestone-studded clutch, and elegant peach-toned earrings.
Her makeup featured a glowing complexion and bold purple eyeshadow, while her hair was styled straight, adding a modern edge to her glamorous look. Despite a brief wardrobe malfunction with the plunging neckline, Lopez handled the moment with grace, aided by the feather jacket’s coverage.
Later in the evening, she changed into a high-neck white gown with a dramatic slit for the after-party at Bryant Park Grill, showcasing her versatile red carpet style.
The star-studded event celebrated the legendary composer John Kander on his 98th birthday, recognizing his iconic work on musicals like Chicago and Cabaret. Lopez is also starring in the upcoming film adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman, another Kander classic, scheduled for release in October.
