Jennifer Lopez has faced criticism after a brief exchange on the Met Gala red carpet on Monday 6 May. The 54-year-old singer and actress, who served as a co-chair for the event, was filmed answering a reporter's question with minimal engagement.
In a clip widely shared online, a press representative asks Lopez, 'Who are you wearing tonight?' The star glances over her shoulder, makes subtle eye contact, and responds with a single word: 'Schiaparelli.' She then continues walking without further comment.
The video, posted to TikTok by user Mikaela Reh, drew sharp reactions. One commenter wrote, 'Finally deciding to own her mean girlness in public!' while another said, 'It’s the dismissiveness for me.' Others defended Lopez, suggesting she may have been preoccupied. One supporter noted, 'She literally said one thing. Then she kept walking. What did she do wrong?'
Lopez attended the event alongside co-chairs Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, in support of The Costume Institute's new exhibition, 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,' which opens to the public on 10 May. The Independent has contacted a representative for comment.
