Jennifer Lopez's Versace denim boots: Bold fashion statement or fodder for trolls?
While some boots make fashion statements, others are fated to be trolled on social media. Sadly, for Jennifer Lopez, her denim Versace boots was destined for the latter. The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award honoree stepped out to Music Choice in New York City on Tuesday wearing a loosely fitted, long-sleeve shirt dress. She paired the attire with a slouchy denim boot that had people questioning if her pants were falling off. The boots from the brand's Resort 2019 collection are rather artistic and draws inspiration from the tops of jeans and features pockets, belt loops, and a belt.
The resemblance led many on Twitter to believe Lopez was having a wardrobe malfunction. Twitter was quick to spot her losing battle with the jeans.
"I stared at this image for about five minutes try to figure out why Jennifer Lopez had her pants around her ankles in public before realizing they were boots," one Twitter user shared. "Don’t think I’m in the wrong here."

The 'On the Floor' singer's fans battled out on social media and one of them declared that she is a "fashion leader" and not a "follower."
To everyone upset about these boots: She's a fashion leader, not a fashion follower.
