When it comes to life off the red carpet, Jennifer Lopez is shirking major trends in favor of classic summer staples.

On June 23, Lopez was spotted out in Los Angeles wearing a strappy black halter dress with an open back and a pair of matching heels. The Halftime star wore her hair back in a ponytail and topped off the look with minimal jewelry, though her green engagement ring stood out prominently on her left ring finger.

While Jennifer Lopez has been known to embrace the latest trends—from sheer dresses to oversized blazers—on the red carpet and during press appearances, her day-to-day wardrobe tends to include workout-appropriate leisurewear and timeless staples. When it comes to summer dressing, the singer is all about breathable fabrics and espadrille sandals. 

Lopez was recently photographed making out with fiancé Ben Affleck on the set of his upcoming film wearing a pair of black platform espadrilles and a linen DKNY jumpsuit. A few days earlier, Lopez looked positively bridal in a white eyelet maxi dress, another pair of espadrille wedges, and gold hoops. In a couple of the paparazzi shots, we see the singer with her hair up in a casual bun and wearing a long beige knit cardigan over the dress.

Lopez recently paid tribute to her fiancé in multiple loving Father’s Day posts. Lopez shares 14-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares three children with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

“I have had a [front-row] seat to watching how you father for over a year now and I have never seen [a] more consistent, loving, and selfless father. And it’s not just to your own kids but also without obligation to mine as well,” she wrote in her “On the JLo” newsletter. “You show up and put them first always. You are affectionate and engaged in every moment they are with you and it’s honestly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Thank you for all you do for all of us. We appreciate and love you beyond measure.”
