In an unexpected fashion twist, Jennifer Lopez, the singer, actress, and entrepreneur, has swapped her classic Birkin for a legendary accessory associated with the late Princess Diana: the Lady Dior. Known for her off-duty dressing muse status, JLo has been spotted sporting this iconic top-handle bag in a fresh, casual way for the upcoming spring season.
The Lady Dior: A Symbol of Elegance and Sophistication
The Lady Dior bag, named after Princess Diana, made its debut on her arm and quickly became a symbol of elegance and sophistication. Back in September 1995, during the opening of the Paul Cézanne retrospective at the Grand Palais in Paris, the First Lady of France presented Diana with a yet-unreleased Dior bag, then called “Chouchou.” The bag’s popularity skyrocketed when Diana was photographed wearing it as she disembarked from a plane later that year. She continued to wear it during various outings, even requesting a navy blue version to match her eyes.
JLo’s High-Low Dressing: Elevating Everyday Wear
As we transition into warmer months, Jennifer Lopez has effortlessly incorporated the Lady Dior into her off-duty wardrobe. In Paris, she paired the iconic bag with a cream knit, a cropped t-shirt, and paperbag jeans. Last month in New York, she matched her bag with a similar-hued cropped jumper, baggy jeans, and platform Uggs. By using the Lady Dior with everyday wear, JLo perfects the art of high-low dressing, proving that this timeless bag will never go out of style.
