Elements of Style: Jennifer Lopez
When you think of uniform dressing, Jennifer Lopez probably wouldn’t be the first person that springs to mind. Yet, there may be no celebrity with a more distinct sense of style than JLo, whose decades-spanning career has spawned many a fashion moment, from the navel-grazing dress that sparked Google Images to her many showstopping Met Gala moments.
