Jennifer Lopez praises Zuhair Murad’s enduring glamour in Paris
Jennifer Lopez took the front row at Zuhair Murad in Paris, spotlighting a designer whose old-Hollywood glamour has kept her in his orbit for years.
Zuhair Murad’s sheen-laced eveningwear drew Jennifer Lopez to the front row of his Fall 2026 show in Paris on July 17, 2026, and the pairing made the point before a single look hit the runway. Lopez has spent decades dressing in Murad, and her presence underscored how closely her red-carpet image has been tied to his signature code of crystal, polish and body-skimming drama.
That long relationship is more than celebrity decoration. In luxury, a designer’s most valuable asset is often not the latest idea but the one the market can recognize instantly, and Murad has built his name on precisely that kind of readability. His clothes do not chase irony or undercut glamour; they lean into it, with sculpted silhouettes, radiant surfaces and the kind of eveningwear language that still feels designed for arrivals, flashes and applause.
Murad has kept refining that vocabulary through his couture work in Paris. His Fall-Winter 2025-2026 couture collection, titled A SHEER DESIRE, was framed as a tribute to Hollywood’s golden age, drawing on 1930s and ’40s silhouettes and referencing Barbara Stanwyck and Rita Hayworth. That is not nostalgia as a costume exercise. It is a deliberate branding position, one that turns old-screen glamour into a contemporary signature and gives clients a clear visual promise: when a Murad gown enters a room, it should read from the balcony.
The consistency matters because Murad has become a recurring fixture at Paris Couture Week, where his Fall 2024 Couture runway show also anchored the calendar in Paris. In that setting, Lopez functions as both muse and proof point. Her decades-long relationship with the house shows how celebrity and designer can reinforce each other over time, with the star borrowing the house’s glamour language and the house borrowing the star’s visibility.
In a market that often prizes novelty for its own sake, Murad’s edge is durability. He has kept one unmistakable idea alive across seasons and years: eveningwear as spectacle, made for women who want glamour that does not fade when the trend cycle moves on.
