Jennifer Lopez was reportedly turned away from shopping at Chanel in Istanbul last week, a day before rocking the Turkish capital as part of her summer tour.
The singer, 56, was shopping at high-end mall Istinye Park on Monday when a guard at Chanel told her the store was at full capacity, according to Turkiye Today.
'OK, no problem,' the Bronx-born A-lister answered, cool as a very wealthy, very famous cucumber.
Employees later invited her to shop at Chanel, but Lopez declined, per local business outlet Patronlar Dunyasi. She reportedly went on to spend tens of thousands of dollars at other designer stores like Celine.
A representative for Lopez did not respond to the Daily News' request for comment.
A day after the reported incident, Lopez performed at the Istanbul Festival at Yenikapi Festival Park as part of her Up All Night Tour. She also played the Turkish city of Antalya late last month.
The current tour comes a year after Lopez's infamously cancelled This Is Me… Live Tour to promote her This Is Me… Now album, largely centred on her reconciliation with Ben Affleck.
Colloquially known as Bennifer, the couple was engaged in the early aughts and got back together in spring 2021. They tied the knot in two ceremonies in summer 2022, with Lopez filing for divorce on the second anniversary of the latter wedding. The split was legally finalised earlier this year.
Lopez joked at her Bilbao, Spain, show in mid-July that she's 'done' with marriage following four divorces — from Affleck, Marc Anthony, Cris Judd and Ojani Noa — and additional engagements. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
