This or that?: JLO rocks cut-outs two ways

Jennifer Lopez takes the cut-out trend to a whole new level with her sharp fashion sense and eye for detail. With every red carpet event, the 45-year-old timeless star keeps upping her style quotient. JLo jazzed up her look by pairing the cut-out trend with crop tops at two recent red carpet events. Here’s a round-up of her looks. Take your pick.

Weinstein Company and Netflix’s bash, LA



Hair and make-up:

The We Are One singer threw her hair up into a sleek high ponytail, allowing her to let loose and dance the night away. Sporting a heavy smokey eye, JLo decided to keep the rest of her make-up to a minimum with a nude lip and well-contoured cheekbones.

Outfit:

The superstar rocked a skin-baring look by Amanda Wakeley, consisting of a sultry strapless, high-neck, snakeskin-embossed bodice with cut-outs on the sides. She paired it with a seductive long skirt that displayed her rock solid abs and lean legs with a plunging slit on the side.

Accessories:

JLo opted for white snakeskin closed-toe Christian Louboutin pumps, a simple diamond ankle bracelet, stud earrings, and a small gold boxed clutch. She polished her look with a fuzzy white fur shrug.

Hair and make-up:

The multi-award winner had her beachy hair down in a voluminous up-do and flaunted her skin, which looked luminous as ever. Minimal make-up was just the way to go with the ensemble and she nailed it effortlessly. Light matte blush and kohl-rimmed eyes added to the muted-glam get-up.

Outfit:

Sheer fabric and cut-outs certainly make for a scene-stealing dress. JLo dazzled at the Miami VIP screening of her upcoming thriller The Boy Next Door. The actor arrived in a figure-enhancing blue and black dress by David Koma. With stimulating cut-outs around the neck and waist and a noir see-through panel on the skirt, she gave us all the reasons to be wowed.

Accessories and shoes:

She accessorised her curve-hugging outfit with silver hoop earrings, a shiny string anklet and diamond bracelets. The Parker actor matched her look with a pair of black suede Manolo Blahnik pointed heels.
