Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to wordlessly remind everyone that she started wearing the “mob wife” trend long before it became the It aesthetic on TikTok. (See the below photos as a reminder.) She’s back at it. While in Paris earlier this week for Haute Couture Week, Lopez stepped out on two separate occasions wearing many of the glamorous items that define the look. Both outfits included fur coats (naturally), lots and lots of jewelry, and oversize tinted sunglasses—even after dark. Oh, and very expensive designer handbags, of course.
Sure, many other celebrities have been embracing the mob wife look as of late (Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski, to name a few), but Lopez was wearing it back in the early 2000s and never really stopped. To see her in Paris wearing mob wife–esque outfits was eye-catching, but she also just looked like J.Lo as we know and love her.
