Jennifer Lopez Went Full Evil Stepmom in Some Unexpected Cut-Out Boots

It seems like Jennifer Lopez is entering her villain era. To clarify, I’m talking about the ’90s rom-com kind of villain that just wants to drink wine in peace. The “I could have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for these meddling twins” kind of villain. Not the **gestures widely** kind of villain. You know?

All the way in London, Lopez hit up her latest Unstoppable red carpet event in a look that can be best described as Meredith Blake cosplay, complete with a black Christian Dior visor hat, a black turtleneck, and a white coat that makes me feel like I’m about to be shipped off to boarding school.

Tell me you don’t see it:

Jennifer Lopez diverted a bit from The Parent Trap’s ice queen with some unexpected footwear, trading her go-to platform heels and stilettos for a pair of knee-high patent leather boots. Featuring a sculptural gold heel and buckled cutouts along her calves and heel, I’m not quite sure if these Dior buckle boots are exactly practical for the fall/winter season, but they certainly give the calculated, demure look an edgy twist that Meredith Blake could have devoured.

Whether or not Jennifer Lopez purposefully embraced an evil stepmom aesthetic with her latest look, the title does not fit for her personal life. In fact, Lopez has such a good relationship with her stepdaughter, Violet Affleck, that it’s reportedly left Ben Affleck a bit perplexed.

According to a source that spoke with The Daily Mail, Affleck and his ex, Jennifer Garner, were especially taken aback by Violet’s recent selfie with Lopez’s sister, Lynda Lopez. “Violet has a strong attachment to J.Lo and her family,” the source claimed. “It’s quite confusing to Ben and Jen [Garner] because they do not understand why Violet is so adamant on keeping her close.”

The source says Violet was the one who invited Lopez’s sister to visit her at Yale, adding, “[Violet] looks up to J.Lo and Lynda and is intent on keeping the bond alive.” Not very Hallie Parker or Annie James of her!
