In a behind-the-scenes glimpse, Jennifer Lopez has showcased her pre-Met Gala skincare routine, offering insight into the steps that lead to her radiant red carpet appearance.
Days prior to the Met Gala, the 53-year-old icon shared an exclusive "get ready with me" video through Allure, which was then posted on her skincare brand's Instagram, JLO Beauty. The video documents the meticulous preparations that contribute to her stunning red carpet look.
Beginning her step-by-step routine, the multi-talented artist appeared makeup-free with her hair elegantly secured, wearing a golden silk tank top. She introduced her "holy grail," the JLO Glow beauty serum, applying a few pumps to her face and neck for a luminous finish.
To fortify her skin against the sun's UV rays, she incorporated the JLO Beauty That Big Screen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Moisturizer into her routine, dispelling a common misconception about her sun-kissed appearance.
"People often associate me with a bronzy, sun-kissed look," expressed the star of "Shotgun Wedding." "However, the reality is that I've minimized sun exposure. My glow comes from self-tan, bronzers, and various products. Daily sun protection is a must."
After attaining optimal hydration and readiness, her makeup artist, Ash K Holm, elaborated on the intended makeup look for the grand event. "The focus was on a sultry and ethereal appearance, allowing Jennifer's inherent beauty to shine through," described Holm.
Holm, 33, utilized Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer for Lopez's brows, while the Huda Beauty Empowered Eyeshadow Palette graced her lids. Accentuating her eyes, Holm employed Kiss Lashes' My Lash But Better Collection. For lips, Buxom's Plump Shot Collagen Infused Lip Serum and a corresponding lip liner enhanced the look.
With her skincare and makeup impeccably executed, Lopez elegantly ascended the white-carpeted staircase at this year's Met Gala. She adorned herself in a Ralph Lauren halter gown paired with a pink silk satin skirt, a masterful creation entirely handcrafted, including the floral collar.
Her ensemble was complemented by towering platforms and black silk evening gloves, while an eye-catching pink ring adorned with over 10 carats of natural pink diamonds from Lorraine Schwartz completed the ensemble.
On the red carpet, she confided to La La Anthony for Vogue that her initial skepticism regarding a leather beret trimmed with fishnet material gradually transformed into fondness. "I had reservations about the beret, but now I'm growing quite fond of it," she confessed.
