#SHOWBIZ: Jennifer Lopez reportedly snubbed by Chanel in Istanbul
ISTANBUL: US singer Jennifer Lopez was reportedly denied entry to a Chanel store in Istanbul last week, just a day before captivating the Turkish capital during her summer tour stop.
According to Turkiye Today, the 56-year-old superstar was shopping at the upscale Istinye Park mall on Monday when a security guard informed her that the boutique had reached full capacity.
"Ok, no problem," Lopez reportedly replied, maintaining the composure of someone both fabulously wealthy and world-famous.
Store staff later extended an invitation for her to return, but Lopez declined, Patronlar Dunyasi reported.
Instead, she is said to have spent tens of thousands of dollars at other luxury brands, including Celine.
This is a classic case of life imitating art, an almost similar incident acted by Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman', albeit with a different situation when she was denied entry.
The Daily News noted that Lopez's representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
The following day, she lit up the stage at the Istanbul Festival in Yenikapi Festival Park as part of her Up All Night Tour, having also performed in Antalya late last month.
Lopez's personal life has also been making headlines.
Known to fans as half of "Bennifer," she rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck in 2021, marrying him in two ceremonies in 2022.
However, she filed for divorce on the second anniversary of their second wedding, with the split finalised earlier this year.
During a mid-July concert in Bilbao, Spain, Lopez poked fun at her romantic history, declaring she was "done" with marriage after four divorces — from Affleck, Marc Anthony, Cris Judd, and Ojani Noa — plus a few broken engagements.
