Jennifer Lopez proves the power of a statement accessory as she accents her neutral outfit with a showstopping hat
Jennifer Lopez just made sunhats the accessory of the summer
To beat the summer heat in style during Wimbledon’s Men’s singles final on Sunday, Jennifer Lopez turned to one of the season’s most practical accessories: a sunhat. While many guests in the Royal Box were seen sporting the discreet Wimbledon Panama hat, Jennifer Lopez turned what to wear in the heat into a chic fashion show in this showstopping style.
Wearing the elegant hemp-blend wide-brim hat from Ralph Lauren Collection. The sweeping design curled around her face and shoulders to create a look that was not only ultra-glamorous but, while watching the tournament in 30-degree heat, was a practical and sensible choice, too. And despite its statement silhouette, it was fairly low-profile and did not appear to interrupt the line of view for guests seated behind the mega star.
Now, when it comes to what to wear to Wimbledon, hats, particularly statement designs, are often frowned upon, but in this case, Jennifer's surprisingly unobtrusive headpiece offered both protection and style, as she paired it with a vintage crêpe dress, also by Ralph Lauren, which featured a delicate crêpe bodice and a matching waist tie. Finishing her look with some intricate, woven heels and the currently unavailable Ralph Lauren rl 888 cross-body bag. The mix of cognac leather and linen brought a timeless touch to the outfit.

With reviews saying this dress is 'beautifully tailored' and is of 'great quality' as well as having a 'super silhouette,' shoppers point out that its lightweight fabric is another draw and is 'a nice weight for the summer.' This is because it's made from a lyocell-rich fabric, which also means the piece falls in a fluid and elegant shape.
The paper straw makeup of this sunhat means it's lightweight and flexible, with the hat boasting a wide, floppy brim that looks elegant while also helping to protect your face and neck from the sun. Plus, this one boasts UPF 80+ sun protection.
This Dune London bag comes in a variety of chic hues, though this 'natural' colourway makes for a great alternative for JLo's Ralph Lauren style. The timeless top handle design is perfectly complemented by versatile hues of tan and cream.
Accessorise Like JLo
Make a statement this summer with a super wide-brimmed hat. When it comes to styling the best summer dresses, at home or abroad, this standout style will turn heads for all the right reasons, and it will boost your level of sun protection too.
Another bold hat, but with a little more structure, straw hats make a comeback every summer, but it feels that when it comes to the spring/summer fashion trends of 2026, they really are racing up the charts as this season's must-have accessory. I love the more sculptural style here and the sweet, optional tie ribbon.
A fraction of the price of JLo's Ralph Lauren hat, but just as statement in size, this piece by Zimmermann offers amazing sun coverage, plenty of standout style and all in a timeless straw design that you really can wear year after year. If you're big on beach days or garden sunbathing, this adds plenty of protection.
While there is plenty to love about JLo’s Wimbledon look, with her Ralph Lauren outfit playing perfectly into a summery, quiet luxury look thanks to its mix of neutral hues and soft, natural textures, it is her sunhat that we’re really blown away by.
Necessary for sun protection, the sunhat can feel like a daunting accessory to pull off, but straw, raffia and woven designs make for classic options when deciding on your summer aesthetic. Easy to style, even statement designs like JLo’s can work for every sunny occasion.
Lucky for us, not only is JLo on hand for inspiration, but there are also plenty of next-day delivery sun hats to choose from online, as sun protection is a must in hot weather. Wider-brimmed designs like her Wimbledon hat make for a particularly elegant choice and can accessorise everything from jeans or dresses to your best wedding guest dresses for outdoor nuptials.
