This Is Me... Now is the singer-actress’ upcoming ninth studio album. Her announcement was much appreciated as nearly 400,000 people liked her post not even 24 hours after its initial upload on Monday night.
J-Lo’s striking custom Schiaparelli look featured a white turtleneck sweater with sculptural detailing and black high-waisted leggings. The white rose petals accompanied a large sun that was embroidered in silver sequins on the back.
The Can’t Get Enough hitmaker paired her outfit with a cream and gold lock-and-key belt, black velvet pumps with the fashion house’s signature keyhole detail, and a black Schiaparelli anatomy jewelry bag.
But one of the elements that stole the show was the musician’s pair of hammered gold sunglasses with antennae-shaped frames and gold hoop earrings, bringing an extra edge to the flamboyant ensemble.
Taking to social media, people shared their different reactions to the special glasses, as one person wrote: "Not only can she not sing, but those glasses. Oh my."
“The glasses are all I see!” a Facebook user added.

Meanwhile, other people pointed to a resemblance with The Hunger Games’ dystopian Capitol fashion style, as a Facebook user commented: “This looks like The Hunger Games Capitol fashion.”
Another individual wrote: “The hunger games have arrived.”
A separate reader chimed in: “Maybe the fashion sense in Hunger Games seems not far in the future.”

The critics were fitting, seeing that Jennifer was seen sitting in the front row of the Schiaparelli show next to Zendaya and Hunter Schafer.
Hunter played the young version of Tigris Snow, the cousin of Coriolanus Snow and an old acquaintance of Cressida and Plutarch Heavensbee, who reside in the Capitol, in the 2023 film The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
Meanwhile, some other observers couldn’t help but find similarities between J-Lo's high-fashion outfit and a parade float, as a person commented on Facebook: “She’s ready to be a Pasadena Tournament of Roses float 11 months early.”

The pop culture icon had also been seen in a group shot with her team, hairstylist Chris Appleton, vocal coach Stevie Mackey, and longtime manager Benny Medina, People reported.
Her appearance at Paris Fashion Week reportedly comes after she unveiled her new campaign with Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi over the weekend.
Last month, the mom-of-two recalled the time she started her career and how she used to look forward to playing smaller and stereotypical roles, such as a maid or “the loud-mouth Latina,” at the 2023 ELLE Women in Hollywood Celebration.
