The yr is 2002. We’re post-9/11, however pre–most issues we bear in mind concerning the 2000s (The O.C., MySpace, and many others.). Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are an A-list couple who aren’t but engaged for the primary time. And maybe as a result of she doesn’t have to match her ensemble to the pink diamond rock he’ll shortly current to her, Jenny From the Block rolls as much as the MTV Video Music Awards sporting… this:
Reminder: Ally McBeal had simply ended, the present that tricked folks into pondering dressing like a lawyer was sizzling. Additionally, 2002 is perhaps the least trendy yr ever. Keep in mind, kiddos, Y2K wasn’t all about low-rise denims and letting your aquamarine bra straps poke out from beneath a white tank high. We have been additionally placing frills and ruffles on each rattling factor.
The footwear? Timeless. The skirt? Horny! The jacket? Actually simply rip the additional frills off and you’ve got a wonderfully good Victorian blazer factor occurring. As for the curls — they need to be pinned again into an Outdated Hollywood look, paired with a silk robe and worn to the Oscars, darling!
The make-up is beautiful, and the purse is cute.
Standing behind Lopez is future president Donald Trump, whose present The Apprentice would not premiere for one more two years, so I am not completely certain why he was at an MTV awards present, however such is Hollywood. I used to be genuinely too distracted by Lopez’s outfit to even discover him the primary time I checked out these footage.
For each Inexperienced Costume there is a Bizarre Black Outfit. Very similar to in her relationship with Affleck, Jennifer Lopez discovered from her previous and did higher the subsequent time. However the web by no means forgets.
The 2022 VMAs happen this Sunday, 28 August – will the ‘matches be as memorable?
