Jennifer Lopez ‘Stages’ Paparazzi Walk
Earlier this week, Jennifer Lopez was staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York, but if there’s one thing we know to be true about about JLo, it’s that she’s not one to miss a paparazzi moment. This time, though, fans think she may have taken things a little too far, as a viral video of the moment shows the Maid in Manhattan actress actually waiting in the hotel lobby, primed for her pap walk, waiting for hotel guests to get out of her way.
Once her path to her car is cleared, Lopez began strutting out of the lobby onto the sidewalk as if it were a runway, giving the cameras multiple angles of her chic outfit: a tan fur jacket and a brown calf-length skirt, with a waist-cinching belt, red pumps, and a pair of sunglasses. While her outfit was certainly photo-graph worthy, many fans didn’t think it was staged-pap-walk-to-your-car worthy.
