All I want for Christmas is the sequin Monot dress Jennifer Lopez just wore on Instagram. As soon as I saw the sparkly plunging number with a completely open back, I added it to my New Year’s Eve mood board—because what’s a holiday without sparkles? Lopez showed off the floor-length design via a video of herself strutting through the halls of her sprawling home and in a snap of herself at the stove cooking a “midnight snack” after a night out. Lopez paired the look with pointed-toe pumps, statement earrings, and big bouncy curls.
Fans praised Lopez’s sizzling style statement with some dubbing it a “revenge” dress since the singer filed for divorce from husband Ben Affleck in August. While I can agree the gown is giving “stunt on your ex,” it’s also an example of fail-proof holiday fashion. It’s fitted, textured, and shows off her assets. You can’t go wrong with a dress that checks each of the boxes—especially for a Christmas soirée or New Year’s Eve party. It feels celebratory, sexy, and timeless. Bonus points if it’s black.
Of course, Lopez is a pro when it comes to sexy dressing. I mean, the Maid in Manhattan star is the reason we have google photos! If you didn’t know, the barely-three Versace dress she wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards inspired the feature because so many people demanded pictures of her in the look. She’s kept us on the edge of our seats in the years that followed, slaying each and every red carpet she’s graced. At the Met Gala earlier this year, Lopez—who served as co-chair alongside Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth—was a walking work of art in a beaded Schiaparelli couture gown that took over 800 hours to create. (We’re not going to talk about that viral moment of her talking to reporters as she walked up the Met steps.)
Anyway, the point is that if you’re looking for fashion inspiration—especially for the most wonderful time of the year (and the week after), look no further than the “Get Right” singer. Because her Monot dress is nearly $3,000, I’ve rounded up some picks inspired by the look below.
