‘Office Romance’ Star Jennifer Lopez (57) Asks Paris Paparazzi To Calm Down in Tense Fashion Week Moment
Jennifer Lopez has been one of the busiest stars on the European fashion circuit this season. After a stretch of appearances in Milan, the 57-year-old singer and actress headed to Paris for Fashion Week, which runs from September 28 to October 6. But Jennifer Lopez’s Paris Fashion Week trip has also come with a side of chaos, thanks to an especially eager crowd of photographers.
Lopez’s every move in the French capital has been closely followed. On September 29, she stepped out for a shopping trip, visiting the Goyard and Stella McCartney stores amid a crowd of fans and photographers.
A short video from that outing has since gone viral. According to footage circulating online, Lopez was leaving her hotel with her entourage when a group of photographers began swarming around her.
Rather than walking away, Lopez stopped and addressed the group directly. She asked the photographers to stop acting crazy, telling them to relax and pointing out that nobody was running anywhere.
She also reassured them that they could still take their pictures and simply asked everyone to take a breath. The tension quickly eased. The photographers apologized, with one reportedly blaming the heat for their behavior, and Lopez then allowed them to snap their photos.

Even in the middle of the commotion, her outfit still drew plenty of attention. Lopez wore a backless white lace slip dress with spaghetti straps, paired with white socks and chunky black leather loafers. She finished the look with a quilted black Lady Dior bag and oversized aviator sunglasses.
Photos from the day show her waving from in front of a jewelry boutique window, her hair pulled up into a casual updo as a member of her security team stayed close by. The unexpected loafers-and-socks combination became one of the most debated style moments of her trip.

The video sparked a wide range of reactions online. Some fans defended Lopez, with one commenter noting that French paparazzi can be absolutely terrifying and that she isn’t the first celebrity to call them out. Others were less sympathetic, poking fun at the moment or taking aim at her dress.
Lopez herself seemed to keep things positive. She later shared footage from her trip on social media with an upbeat caption about how things keep getting better.
The paparazzi encounter is just one chapter in a busy Paris stay. The following day, Lopez sat front row at Stella McCartney’s Spring/Summer 2027 show, wearing a faux fur shawl over a brown dress with a black veil.

That appearance created its own buzz when she was asked to lower her umbrella during the rainy outdoor show. Combined with the paparazzi video, it has made for a week full of viral moments.
Moments like this highlight the intense attention that follows major stars during Fashion Week. With crowds packed outside hotels and boutiques, even a simple shopping trip can turn into a scrum.
Lopez’s approach, staying calm while setting a clear boundary, offered a glimpse at how she navigates that pressure. With Paris Fashion Week still underway, she’s likely to remain in the spotlight for days to come.
