It is fitting that Jennifer Lopez has a song called “Dinero,” because she’s making the most of the złoty on a shopping spree in Warsaw, Poland.
Following a concert in the Polish capital (where she expertly brushed off a wardrobe malfunction), JLo celebrated by making a purchase at the Dior store. But her tomato-red outfit belonged to another brand entirely.
Lopez was decked out in head-to-toe Valentino Garavani, her short-sleeved A-line minidress cinched at the waist with a thin red belt bearing the brand’s V logo. Her matching red purse, the V Logo Shoulder Bag, was affixed a gold crossbody chain. (The only non-Valentino branded item? Her enormous bedazzled “JLo” cup. A gal’s gotta stay hydrated!)
But it was JLo’s footwear choice that caught our attention: a pair of red pointy-toe mules (the brand’s Alcove model) embellished with hallmark Valentino rockstuds. The punky square studs were first introduced in fall 2010 by then-creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, after which they became ubiquitous throughout the 2010s.
In 2020, in honor of the bygone trend’s 10th anniversary, Piccioli tapped guest designers for the rockstud collection. While its renaissance didn’t exactly kick off then, maybe we just needed Jennifer Lopez’s stamp of approval.
