While many celebrities were out celebrating Halloween, Jennifer Lopez took to the campaign trail to support Vice President Kamala Harris. Although she didn’t don a costume, Lopez embraced one of the season’s hottest color trends in recognition of the fall holiday.
On Thursday, Jennifer Lopez showed her support for Kamala Harris at a Las Vegas campaign rally, making a stunning entrance at the Craig Ranch Amphitheater. Dressed in a chic russet brown monochromatic ensemble, she wowed the crowd in a bodycon midi dress that boasted a high neck, long sleeves, and striking angular shoulder pads. She completed her look with coordinating brown strappy heels and a selection of diamond rings.
“Buenas noches Las Vegas,” the “Let’s Get Loud” singer began as she took the podium. “Now, you guys know I’m no stranger to this town. I’ve been on stage here many, many times—too many times to count. But this is the most important stage I’ve been on.”
“The election is just five days away and there’s so much at stake. The choices facing America now are monumental,” she continued. “You are the ones who are going to send the message that Nevada is Harris country. … Right now, we are on the brink of an election that demands a choice, a choice between backwards and forwards, a choice between the past and the future, a choice between divided and united.”
“At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us who he really is and how he really feels,” she said of Trump, per The Hollywood Reporter. “It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who were offended that day, OK? It was every Latino in this country, it was humanity and anyone of decent character.”
Lopez continued, “I am Puerto Rican, and yes, I was born here, and we are Americans. I am a mother. I am a sister. I am an actor and an entertainer. And I like Hollywood endings. I like when the good guy—and in this case, the good girl—wins.” She added: “You can’t spell American without Rican.”
“At Madison Square Garden, [Trump] reminded us who he really is and how he really feels,” Lopez said. “It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans that were offended that day. It was every Latino in this country. It was humanity and anyone of decent character. … This is our country too and we must exercise our right to vote on November 5th.”
At one point, Lopez appeared teary-eyed. “I promised myself I wouldn’t get emotional, but you know what? We should be emotional. We should be upset. We should be scared and outraged. Our pain matters,” she said. “Your voice and your vote matters.”
