Jennifer Lopez understands high-impact glamour—and how to step into a new signature. For a front-row stint at Valentino’s spring 2024 haute couture show (titled Valentino Le Salon) in Paris, Lopez played up and on her freshly snipped mane, opting for a half-up ’60s style secured with a romantic ribbon.
In contrast to her short-haired debut at Schiaparelli, which saw Lopez’s lengths combed into an edgy wet look, as if she had dashed from salon to show, the pop star’s (notably extended) near-bouffant was all about polish and buoyant volume, à la vintage Catherine Deneuve. A commonality could be found in the chop’s flipped-out nature, a hallmark of the current mane landscape. Lest you have any doubts as to era reference, Lopez’s beribboned (likely teased by Chris Appleton) mane came accompanied by a liquid cat-eye further framed by an arch of smokey liner above each lid, a quintessential ’60s statement.
She may be known for her long and luxurious waves, but in Lopez’s world, an abbreviated mane offers an equal opportunity for drama and versatility.
