Jennifer Lopez attended the 2025 Governors Awards on Sunday in LA, serving a different kind of drama than we’ve become accustomed to.

The actress wore a Tamara Ralph Fall 2025 Couture silk and velvet strapless gown, the overskirt adding sweeping depth that gives it true gala glamour. There’s a regal quality to the way the double-layered skirt pools behind her. It’s dramatic without being overwhelming—a balance that isn’t easy when the silhouette is this architectural.

It’s glam, yes — this is J.Lo — but it isn’t relying on skin or sparkle. Instead, it feels like gala elegance filtered through an Old Hollywood lens.

If I were to nitpick, there are some visible pulls at the waist that slightly interrupt the otherwise flawless lines, but the overall impact is still undeniable.

The velvet opera gloves absolutely work here, echoing the runway styling while also feeling necessary to complete this look’s narrative.

A black Tyler Ellis clutch and Chopard jewels rounded out her ensemble.

We love a Jennifer Lopez red carpet moment that doesn’t rely on shock value — and this one proves she doesn’t need it.
