Jennifer Lopez leaned into fall’s color of the season while doing press yesterday in New York City. The actress stepped out in a chocolate brown turtleneck layered under a knit sweater and pair of short shorts by Gucci. She finished the look with matching sunglasses and tan over-the-knee boots.
Lopez has been promoting her upcoming film Unstoppable. She also made an appearance at Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s Las Vegas campaign rally on Halloween. Lopez spoke for 12 minutes, starting her speech by stressing the importance of this election.
“Right now, we are on the brink of an election that demands a choice, a choice between backwards and forward, a choice between the past and the future, a choice between divided and united,” she said. “And if you are anything like me and you value the idea that in this country, any child, from any background can not only work their ass off to bring their dreams to life and to be able to do so with dignity and respect for their neighbors, then it isn’t much of a choice at all. Whether you’re from Castle Hill in the Bronx or Sunrise Manor in East Las Vegas, we all want a world where our kids feel safe and free and valued by their president because whoever leads this country matters. That’s how we make the greatest America. Because I remember growing up thinking my president cared about me, cared about my parents, cared about my neighbors and my community, not just some Americans but all Americans.”
She later spoke about the power of voting. “We should be emotional,” she said, per CNN. “We should be upset. We should be scared and outraged. We should. Our pain matters. We matter. Your voice and your vote matters.”
