Lopez has attended the Met Gala more than a dozen times before, and all of her looks through the years have had at least one thing in common: None were designed with comfort in mind. But who needs things like walking or moving your arms or sitting when you can look that good, am I right? Kidding. Maybe.
When asked by Good Morning America earlier if she’d “be able to walk” in her look for the 2024 Met Gala, J.Lo responded, “Barely, ever. The Met Gala looks are not about comfort.”
They can be about fun, though. “It’s always a nice time there,” Jennifer Lopez told GMA. “It’s such an interesting mix of artists and business people. It’s not just music or film, it’s everybody—fashion, film, music, business—and you get to have some really interesting interactions.”
Of course, some of those “interesting” interactions likely included her husband, Ben Affleck. The actor didn’t walk the carpet with J.Lo this year, though he’s attended with her in the past.
The 2024 Met Gala guest list this year also included Lopez’s fellow co-chairs Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth. Lopez attended a pre-Met Gala dinner with them at Vogue editor Anna Wintour’s home the night before. For that event, the This Is Me… Now artist wore a crystal-studded strapless gown designed by Diana Qerimi and a slick ponytail.
