Jennifer Lopez and I styled ourselves quite similarly for work on Wednesday.

Yesterday's schedule included two very public pit stops, beginning with an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! . Method dressing seemed to be stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn's M.O. for the appearance. Her light gray trousers looked fresh from her character's professional-chic costume rack.
