It's not unlike Jennifer Lopez [1] to make a casual outing [2] in a pair of platforms [3]. While visiting fiancé Ben Affleck [4] on the set of his new project in Santa Monica on June 22, the multihyphenate debuted a pair of her own JLO Jennifer Lopez sandals, which are part of her collection for DSW. The espadrilles are unlike many other wedges in that they're sliced into a towering five-inch block heel stacked on a two-inch platform, and they come equipped with an ankle-wrap closure for added drama. The Minel platform is available in nude, dark brown, and light blue and retails for only $70. Lopez demonstrated how to elevate the style by keeping it sleek and sophisticated in a black sleeveless cotton jumpsuit with tapered ankles, a simple charm bracelet, mirrored aviators, and her go-to hoop earrings for a day off.
Affleck, meanwhile, sported a graphic T-shirt, charcoal denim, and his Axel Arigato paneled sneakers, a classic combination for the 49-year-old actor, whose outfits are typically a neutral foundation for a Lopez style moment [5]. While Lopez owns numerous platforms — like the Gucci's white leather T-strap pumps [6], gold metallic bejeweled shoes [7], and silver glitter heels [8] — it's nice to see her rocking her own product. She did the same for a shoot earlier in June, wearing one of her DSW styles with a black string ViX by Paula Hermanny bikini [9], and, memorably, wearing another style at the 2021 Met Gala with her Western-inspired Ralph Lauren gown [10].
Ahead, see her strut in her self-made espadrilles alongside Affleck and shop similar styles, then check out the iconic outfits [11] that were spotlighted in her new Netflix documentary, "Halftime [12]," which she celebrated in a sheer mesh and velvet Tom Ford gown [13] on the red carpet on June 8.
