Jennifer Lopez is bringing one of the most divisive ’90s trends back into the spotlight.
The 56-year-old singer and actress appeared in a new Instagram video with ‘Off Campus’ star Mika Abdalla, showing off a dance studio look built around low-rise jeans, lace-up denim, and a cropped white top.
The video featured Lopez and Abdalla dancing together while nodding to each other’s pop culture moments. Abdalla mouthed along to a line from ‘Off Campus’ that referenced Lopez, while Lopez later joined in with a line from Abdalla’s character, Allie Hayes. The clip then shifted into a snippet of Lopez’s hit song ‘On The Floor’, with both women dancing in sync.
Jennifer Lopez Brings Back Low-Rise Denim
For the studio video, Lopez wore a pair of extremely low-rise jeans with lace-up detailing running from the waist down to the hem.
The two-tone denim featured a corset-style lace-up front instead of a traditional zipper, along with distressed details on the legs and hem. The result leaned heavily into the ’90s and early-2000s denim revival that keeps dividing fashion fans.
Lopez paired the jeans with a white ribbed mock-neck crop top layered over a nude-toned underlayer. She completed the look with pointed-toe heels, gold jewelry, soft pink-toned makeup, and a wavy ponytail.
It was casual by dance-studio standards, but still very much a JLo fashion moment.
Mika Abdalla Adds Y2K Energy
Abdalla matched the throwback energy with her own Y2K-inspired look.
The actress wore floor-length baggy jeans with “Buy the flowers herself” embroidered on the back pocket. She paired them with a cocoa-beige halter top featuring a backless design and draped bodice. She also leaned into bohemian accessories, including a braided leather belt and beaded pants clips with feather details.
The pairing worked because both looks pulled from different corners of early-2000s fashion: Lopez went sleek and low-rise, while Abdalla went looser, more relaxed, and more festival-coded.
Their Connection Started With A Versace Dress
Lopez and Abdalla’s collaboration may look random at first, but it follows a viral ‘Off Campus’ moment.
Earlier this month, fans noticed Abdalla’s character wearing a replica of Lopez’s iconic green Versace dress in the second episode of the Prime Video romance series.
Abdalla later said the dress was built from scratch and required multiple fittings. A clip of the moment eventually reached Lopez, who reposted it on X and wrote, “love this shooooww.” Now, the two have taken the connection offline and turned it into a dance studio crossover.
For Lopez, the clip doubles as another reminder that she still knows how to make old fashion trends look current, even when the trend itself remains controversial.
