Jennifer Lopez Pulls Off the Red Carpet Crop Top at the CFDAs

Tonight, Jennifer Lopez attended the CFDA Awards in New York to collect her Fashion Icon award (past recipients include Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Kate Moss), and the superstar certainly put that new title to good use when hitting the red carpet this evening. Attending with her stylish man, Alex Rodriguez, the singer slash actress chose an archival two-piece by Ralph Lauren for the occasion that originated from the American designer’s Fall 1999 collection. Only an icon can truly make a throwback piece, not to mention a red carpet crop top, feel completely fresh and current.

Pulling off that tricky silhouette, Lopez paired her custom embellished cropped turtleneck with a matching silk taffeta skirt. The style—call it the antidote to the traditional full-coverage gown—was inspired by a look that supermodel Gisele Bündchen originally wore in the label’s Fall 1999 campaign; Lopez’s killer abs and out-of-this-world glow only helped revive the look with zing. Meanwhile, her tasteful styling helped elevate it, too: She accessorized the ensemble with a sparkling orange clutch and teardrop earrings, rounding out the look with A-list flourish.
