Jennifer Lopez Styles Intentionally Dirty, $750 Jeans With an $8,000 Bottega Veneta Bag and Platform Uggs
She's pushing the definition of "destroyed" denim.

Ripped jeans have long been a point of contention between fashionistas and their grandparents. We've all had to learn the hard way that you don't wear distressed jeans to family dinner—unless, of course, you're in the mood for a twenty-minute speech about the value of a dollar. Though she's certainly a fan of the aforementioned style, Jennifer Lopez's latest denim look would make any grandfather's head explode—they cost a high three figures and are covered in dirt. (Yes, dirt.)
On Oct. 30, the pop star was photographed while shopping with her child Emme in Los Angeles. She was dressed in her usual get-up: a white top, designer bag, and the latest denim craze. This time, however, her blues of choice were Acne Studios's controversial Super Baggy Fit Jeans.
The jeans made waves after their 2023 launch and the accompanying campaign, which featured Kylie Jenner covered in mud. According to the brand's website, these super wide-leg pants are "detailed with fading and smudging throughout" for that construction worker-chic vibe we're apparently going for now.
Jennifer Lopez wears dirty jeans and Ugg boots while shopping in LA.
Her jeans may be considered "dirty" by traditional standards, but Lopez styled them masterfully. She balanced out their overt grungy vibes with a few polished additions: a ribbed turtleneck sweater and a massive $8,000 Bottega Veneta tote bag.
Pants of this size positively demand to be worn with a platform shoe and, in this case, Lopez chose the unofficial footwear of the fall season. She sported a pair of Classic Twin Seam New Heights Ugg boots, the brand's new take on their famous suede style, which features stylish seams and an arched sole.
Suddenly, I have the overpowering urge to go gardening in my most expensive jeans. Her influence!
