    Last year, Jennifer Lopez's Los Angeles office served as the backdrop for some of her most fabulous looks, ranging from a vintage Dior suit to a velvet Max Mara set. On January 8, she returned to J.Lo HQ looking every bit a Parisian boss in a beret and matching trousers.

    In perhaps her most relatable move of the decade, Lopez shared a mid-day mirror selfie of her office-ready outfit. Buttoning a collarless black jacket as her top, Lopez coordinated a light gray beret to ultra-pleated pants in a cool-toned color. Her pose suggested they boasted wide-leg hems, her preferred trouser silhouette. (Though she's been living in leggings for the last month while performing her Las Vegas residency.)

    The A-lister is no newbie to statement headpieces: Last October, she pulled off a wide-brimmed Willy Chavarria hat with ease, adding to a collection that includes bowlers, baseball caps, and newsboys. And she's held a soft spot for berets since at least the 2002 Vogue Fashion Awards, when she wore a different version of this same outfit formula: a stark white beret matching a bubble-hemmed skirt in the same hue.

    Two years later, Lopez attended the 2004 Kids' Choice Awards in a crocheted beanie. The lavender piece made her sequin shawl, asymmetrical crop top, and low-rise capris really hit all the Y2K marks.

    Her affinity stayed strong throughout the early-aughts.

    More recently, in last August's Instagram-worthy mirror selfie, Lopez added some edge with a leather beret, which proved just as striking as her pant-free bodysuit and mesh Aquazzura pumps.
