J.Lo Schools Us On How To Rock A Red Leopard Mini

At 45 years-old, Jennifer Lopez knows a thing or two about life. She knows how to come out the other end of a divorce, ostensibly unscathed. How to work and mother twins. How to shake that famous booty. How to sing (duh). And, now, add to that how to pull off a red leopard mini dress on the red carpet — without looking tacky. Yep, we can learn something from this latest achievement.

At Variety 's Power Of Women luncheon earlier today, J.Lo sported a short, fiery leopard-print dress, but somehow kept it chic and appropriate. We think it's all thanks to that simple and sleek ponytail — and equally minimal styling to match. Got a standout dress? Try solid, all-black accessories. One detail that really helped keep this look in the realm of the awe-worthy and achievable? The collar. It's this subtle-yet-important touch that makes the dress feel well-rounded, drawing attention up to the face, instead of to that rear end. This (unfortunately) wasn't a music video shoot, after all.
