If You Want to Look Rich in a Maxi Dress at 50, J.Lo Just Wore the Shoe Trend That Works Every Time

Jennifer Lopez is a celebrity who has long argued that age is just a number, especially when it comes to personal style. At 56, the actress, singer, and mother of two continues to challenge expectations of what women are “supposed” to wear at her age—and does it tastefully. Take her recent outfit, for example.

While grabbing lunch with her family in L.A. over the weekend, J.Lo was spotted wearing an elegant summer ensemble. The look consisted of a white, plunging V-neck maxi halter dress paired with raffia platform heels. To complete the look and add her signature boho-chic flair, J.Lo accessorized with oversize sunglasses, long layered necklaces, and a printed tote bag.

Sky-high heels can easily feel over-the-top, but Lopez proves they can look tasteful when styled with intention. The key to her look relies on balance: Despite the V-neck cut of her white dress, the design comes off sophisticated, so adding the platforms reads as chic rather than flashy.

If you’re inspired to channel J.Lo’s polished approach to summer dressing and want to elevate your maxi dress outfits from now through fall, keep scrolling. Ahead, I’ve curated an edit of the best pieces to help you recreate her look, plus more floor-length frocks and platform heels to consider.
