Jennifer Lopez [1] has a penchant for dressing like she did in the 2000s, resulting in plenty of stylish déjà vu moments, especially when she's spending time with boyfriend Ben Affleck [2]. The couple [3] were spotted out in LA on March 25, and while Affleck wore his typical flannel and denim, Lopez brought us back to the early aughts [4] in a cropped slub sweatshirt, high-waisted leggings that read "JLO" on the back right calf, and Nike Air Jordans. Lopez opted for her go-to accessories, including thin gold hoops, a simple pendant necklace, a chunky flower ring [5], and a yellow Hermès Kelly bag to match the exact same shade of her crop top.
A loose, midriff-baring throw-over top like Lopez's is a fundamental piece for pulling off the Y2K athleisure trend, especially in a bright pop of colour. With the addition of baggy sleeves and a distressed hemline, the sweater brings maximum impact to the overall look — even though it's a relatively basic piece. Lopez wearing it on an errand run with Affleck was probably not that calculated, but the result is a street style moment that generates nostalgia, especially as we reminisce about some of the duo's most iconic and well-documented everyday outings together [6].
They recently confirmed their romance is still going strong at the iHeartRadio Music Awards [7], where Affleck cheered on Lopez [8] as she accepted the icon award and performed in a three-piece Roberto Cavalli catsuit [9] held together by silver chains. While they didn't walk the red carpet together for the event, this recent appearance more than made up for it and has provided some spring style inspo. Ahead, catch a few more angles of Lopez and Affleck, then shop her exact Air Jordans, plus similar cropped sweatshirts that fit this distinctly '00s-inspired vibe.
