Jennifer Lopez looks chic in baggy slacks as she shrugs off being branded 'rude' at the Golden Globes

By BRIAN MARKS, US ASSISTANT SHOWBUSINESS EDITOR and REBECCA LAWRENCE, DEPUTY SHOWBUSINESS EDITOR (DIGITAL FEATURES) Jennifer Lopez continued a winning streak of stylish ensembles when she was spotted out in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The 56-year-old actress was seen meeting a friend for lunch at the Bel Air Hotel while wearing a muted gray outfit that matched the overcast skies. She was dining out just days after a video of her on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet went viral as fans branded her 'rude' for a curt exchange with E!'s Glambot director, Cole Walliser. Lopez didn't appear to be troubled by the online outrage as she proved herself to be a master of the casual–cool ensemble by enlivening a plain gray sweatshirt with a striking pair of baggy slacks and a strategic burst of color from her handbag. The Hustlers star tucked her unassuming sweatshirt into the high-waisted pleated pants, which gave her an intriguing silhouette due to their voluminous legs. The billowing pants mostly hid her beige platform heels, making it look as if she was gliding as she walked. Jennifer Lopez, 56, cutting a winning figure when she was spotted meeting a friend for lunch in LA at the Bel Air hotel on Wednesday. She enlivened her muted gray sweatshirt by tucking it into a pair of high-waisted gray slacks with ultra-baggy legs Lopez spiced up her otherwise monochrome look with a small Hermès Birkin bag made of exotic orange alligator leather. She complemented the bag with her brown-tinted aviator sunglasses, and she framed her elegantly made-up face with her long caramel-colored hair, which was parted down the middle. Lopez showed off her pristine look shortly after she struck up outrage with what some fans deemed a 'rude' interaction at the Golden Globe Awards last week. In footage of her encounter with E!'s Glambot director, Cole Walliser, the mother-of-two appeared to ignore Walliser as he set up the 360-degree camera — which produces glamorous slow-motion images of celebrities — for her to pose in. While Walliser later defended the star, fans took it as an example of her behaving like a diva. In the video, Walliser was seen greeting Lopez, but she appeared to respond by only murmuring, 'Hi, nice to see you,' while looking down. On social media, fans called out Lopez for her seemingly cold and curt greeting. '@jlo buy some manners,' one upset viewer wrote. J.Lo spiced up the muted colors with her small Birkin bag, which was made out of vibrant orange crocodile leather. She complemented it with her brown-tinted aviator sunglasses and her caramel-colored locks Lopez showed off her casual–cool look in the wake of a video of her on the Golden Globes red carpet going viral last week after fans lambasted her 'rude' exchange with E!'s Glambot director Cole Walliser; pictured January 11 at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills Viewers were left fuming over a tightly edited video that appeared to show her ignoring Waliser as he prepped her for the Glambot shot But Walliser launched into an unlikely defense of the Grammy-nominee, insisting that 'the internet needs to just calm down' and that he didn't think J.Lo was being rude 'Such a snob. Hard to watch,' added another user, while one person claimed, 'She didn't even look at him.' However, Walliser launched into a surprising defense of the Grammy nominee, insisting that 'the internet needs to just calm down.' The Canadian director assured his fans that he had no problem with the way J.Lo reacted, stating: 'I didn't take it personally. It didn't feel rude in that moment.' He went on: 'I think there's a couple things that added to the fuel of this idea. One, she's just down to business. The carpet was closed. She's ready to go inside. She knew what she was gonna do. She got into the position. 'It's just unfortunate that the position was she was facing away from me. So I am talking to her, she is looking away, but she's getting ready for the move. 'I knew what she was doing. I knew she was getting ready. I knew it was late. We were just getting through it. That moment didn't feel rude,' he continued. Walliser then made it clear that posing for the Glambot is something a celebrity can freely choose to do or not do. 'Anybody that stops [for the Glambot], I already like you because you're taking the time to do my thing and this is generous of you because you don't have to do it,' he shared. Red carpets are 'generally insane,' he noted, adding, 'It's just a really crazy environment. 'When people land on the Glambot, sometimes they don't know what they're walking up to. And I'm not just talking about J.Lo here, I'm talking about a bunch of celebrities in the past.' He stressed: 'These celebrities, they're at work. They're there to do a thing to promote their show, to be a guest, to be a presenter... they're working.' The comments below have not been moderated.
