Jennifer Lopez and Duchess Meghan have a lot more in common than you might initially guess. Besides both being powerful women who handle gratuitous public criticism with class, they also seem to share a keen sartorial instinct.
This past weekend, Lopez stepped out in Los Angeles wearing a pair of pants that might look familiar to fellow Sussex fans: slouchy, wide-leg linen trousers from St. Agni. The Duchess of Sussex recently wore those very same pants during a summit in the Hamptons (the New York coastal destination that also happens to be favored by J. Lo), but the two styled the look in two completely different ways.
For Lopez’s part, the “Can’t Get Enough” singer blended athleisure with luxury, tucking in a tight black tank top from Joah Brown beneath the trousers’ asymmetric waistline. She sprinkled in some of her go-to accessories, from nude leather platform heels from Elie Saab to oversize square sunglasses from Gucci. For her bag of the day, Lopez eschewed her typical Birkin for a tiny wicker iteration of the Lady Dior—a style that takes its name after Princess Diana, and which Meghan similarly carried recently.
As for Meghan, the duchess paired her St. Agni pants with a matching St. Agni vest. The sleek one-button top featured an elegant backless design, adding some of her signature California cool to her East Coast outfit. She finished off the look with large black sunglasses from Heidi Merrick, then further accessorized with her own array of luxury pieces from Cartier, including her Tank watch, Juste un Clou collar necklace, and Love bracelet.
