Jennifer Lopez Dazzles as 'La Luna' in Upcoming Musical Drama
Jennifer Lopez takes on the role of Ingrid Luna, also known as 'La Luna', in the upcoming musical drama 'Kiss of the Spider Woman'. Lopez's performance is a triple threat, showcasing her dancefloor mastery, stunning 1940s-inspired gowns, and vocal prowess.
In the film, La Luna provides refuge for Luis Molina, a window dresser sentenced to eight years for public indecency. She does so by starring in his vivid, color-saturated imagination. La Luna is an Old Hollywood glamorous fashion editor cursed from finding true love in Molina's favorite MGM-style musical.
Colleen Atwood, the costume designer, has created intricate and elegant outfits for Lopez's role as Aurora. Aurora's dreamy green outfit transforms from a modest Kelly green bolero over an exquisitely draped dress to a bodysuit in the electrifying crescendo. Her grand entrance gown weighs 50 pounds and is hand-beaded with glass beads, reflecting Lopez's body like liquid gold. Atwood also designed a '40s-style royal-blue skirt suit with aqua blocking and godet pleats, inspired by a photo of Rosalind Russell. Aurora's smoking-hot fringed dress features intricate embellishments and appliqués, with dynamic floor-length black fringe for full movement. Lopez's white monochrome ensemble pays homage to Chita Rivera's white three-piece pantsuit in the 1993 Broadway production of 'Kiss of the Spider Woman'.
Atwood praises Lopez's preparation, talent, and work ethic, stating that she has captured the character's sensuality and theatricality through her costumes. 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' is set to be a visual and musical treat, with Lopez's performance and Atwood's costumes taking center stage.
