After years of wearing Zuhair Murad‘s creations on some of the world’s biggest red carpets and stages, Jennifer Lopez finally took a seat in the designer’s front row for the very first time for his fall 2026 couture show Wednesday evening.
The singer and actress arrived in a sculptural ivory jacket embroidered with crystals and cinched with an oversized black bow, paired with a fully beaded fringe skirt from the spring 2025 couture collection. “I think it’s very rock ‘n’ roll,” she told WWD of the look. “I love it a lot. Sexy, beautiful, classic. It’s very Zuhair.”
Her appearance not only caused a frenzy, but also marked a milestone in a relationship that stretches back decades.
Asked what defines the Lebanese couturier, Lopez heaped praise on Murad.
“I think of glamour,” she said. “His stuff is always very embellished. But first of all, you can’t talk about Zuhair without talking about his fit, the way he knows a woman’s body. That’s the thing that attracted me. Yes, there are the spectacular creations, but there are very few designers who really understand a woman’s body and accentuate it.
