J-Lo Closes the Carpet Down in a Glittery Crop Top, Long Skirt and Massive Heels at CFDA Awards 2019

To no one’s surprise, Jennifer Lopez had the most spectacular arrival on the carpet tonight at the 2019 CFDA Awards in New York. She is the Fashion Icon Award winner, of course.

The entertainer wore a Ralph Lauren two-piece in an orange-red tone that had a dramatic train. The top was covered in sequins and cut just above her abs. The skirt’s floor-length hem kept her shoes mostly covered, but its front slit gave her towering heels, done in the same color, a bit of a show. The shoes had a peep-toe front, chunky platform and around a 5-inch heel.
