Jennifer Lopez Celebrates Her Latest Award by Wearing Denim Boots as Pants

Today, it was announced that Jennifer Lopez would be given the MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for her visual achievements in the music industry. (It is quite the award, boasting recipients like Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, and Rihanna.) Lopez debuted a look that couldn’t have been more celebratory of the news. En route to MTV studios in New York City, the entertainer stepped out in a crisp white shirt-meets-dress by Poiret. Her saucy choice? Instead of pants, she sported slouchy denim Versace over-the-knee boots.

Lopez hasn’t been shy about showing her skin as of late. She recently revealed her washboard abs at her birthday celebration with Alex Rodriguez; while on the street, she showed off her six-pack in a teeny crop top. And why shouldn’t the 49-year-old show off her abs or legs? She has worked hard for her career, as well as body. Now is the perfect time for her to be proud of both.
