Celebrating American fashion, J.Lo gave a high-fashion twist to the wild, wild west in a daring rustic gown from the American label Ralph Lauren.

Making a jaw-dropping entrance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the 52-year-old star flaunted more than enough cleavage and legs on the white carpet.

The textured number features a navel-grazing plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit. It’s also intricately embellished with beads and leather trims and has a dramatic floor-sweeping long train.

She styled the striking gown with a Western-inspired wide woven leather belt and paired the look with a glamorous two-toned faux-fur shawl, which she later removed to showcase her famous hourglass curves.

Styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, Alex Rodriguez’s ex jazzed up the look’s Western aesthetic with a cowgirl hat, a chunky leather choker, and a matching buckled leather cuff.

She also accessorized with a large silver-plated necklace, a silver cuff, and a pair of drop earrings.

To achieve her glowing look, J.Lo used beauty products from her very own JLoBeauty line, including a mask sheet, eye cream, and complexion booster.

Makeup artist Scott Barnes gave her cheeks a golden glow and glammed her up further with glittery bronze eyeshadow and nude lipstick.

Hairstylist Lorenzo Martin pulled J.Lo’s tresses back into a long ponytail and added 20-inch tape-in tousled extensions from Great Lengths USA for a more rustic look.

To complete her chic Western ensemble, the Maid in Manhattan star wore a pair of silver high heels from her collection for DSW.

These metallic sandals have wraparound ankle straps, 1-inch platforms, and about 5-inch stiletto heels.

On Friday, Jennifer Lopez was spotted walking hand-in-hand with her on-and-off boyfriend, Ben Affleck, at the Venice Marco Polo Airport.

The Argo director couldn’t let go of his girlfriend’s hands while clad in a navy shirt with black jeans. He styled the look with clear-framed sunglasses and a pair of Golden Goose white sneakers.

Continuing her winning style streak, the Out of Sight actress donned an elegant Dior Pre-Fall 2020 silky dress that gives off vintage vibes with its polka-dot design and shirt-inspired A-line silhouette.

It also has a cinched-in waist that defined her curves and contrasting black buttons that were left undone, revealing her toned legs and matching polka-dot shorts.
