39-year-old Maid In Manhattan actress, Jennifer Lopez graces the September 2008 cover of ELLE Magazine and shares her views on some of the biggest and best in the fashion world.
On Georgina Chapman of Marchesa (pictured above): “She could be a model—but meanwhile she’s down there pinning and sewing all these things all over you!”
Love the tea and cupcakes, pleated fan gown with embroidered belt, by Marchesa of course.
Georgina Chapman says of Lopez, “She can transform into this stylish, aristrocratic beauty reminiscent of Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette but at the same time is very down-to-earth and very relatable.”
On Donatella Versace (pictured above): “We’ve always had a very sweet relationship. I really got to know her more after her brother had died.”
“I wanted to glamorize a moment with two women sitting down and having a good, long chat, which is what happens in reality every time I see Jennifer.”—Donatella Versace
I love how everything Versace eludes this sexy beauty. One-shoulder rayon evening gown, by Versace.
Michael Kors (pictured above) shares that “Jennifer epitomizes my love of the modern jet-set woman–today’s answer to Elizabeth Taylor glamour, circa Butterfield 8, all dipped in tones of honey, caramel, and camel.”
The busy mom is married to Marc Anthony and has twins, a girl and a boy, Emme Marbiel Muñiz, and Maximilian “Max” David Muñiz who were born February 22, 2008.
She shares that she was not able get pregnant right away: “We knew nothing was wrong with either one of us—I had been checked, and he had kids already. I knew something’s not ready here, in my head or in my life, and when it is, I know it’s going to happen.”
On first realizing she was pregnant: “I was sitting down doing hair and makeup and I felt a flutter. The weirdest little…flourish. My makeup artist said ‘What’s the matter?’ I didn’t say anything, but in my head, I was like, I have life inside me!”
On her pregnancy: “We came off tour and I said ‘I did the superwoman thing, I finished the tour—now I need you to take care of me. I love doing things for you; if I’m not cooking, then I’m picking out a shirt. But this is the first time in my life where I’m just going to be a little bit selfish. I don’t know if I’m going to have kids again, so I want it to be a beautiful experience. I don’t want to have any drama. I want to just be smiling every day.’”
