Bronx and Banco on the Red Carpet: The Jennifer Lopez Gown and How to Wear It
Bronx and Banco on the Red Carpet: The Jennifer Lopez Gown and How to Wear It
In May 2026 Jennifer Lopez walked the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival in Bronx and Banco. She wore the Brielle Sage Diamond Halterneck Gown, a sleeveless sage green gown with a plunging neckline, a crystal chain at the neck and the same chain motif at the waist, cutouts, and a thigh-high slit. Over it went a feather jacket in the same sage, from the brand's spring 2026 collection. Strappy heels in a warm metallic and a Tyler Ellis bags/clutch-bags/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">clutch finished it. Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi styled the look. She was at the festival to receive its inaugural Adelante Award for Industry.
It was the biggest red-carpet moment the Australian label has had, and it says something exact about what the house does well. The drama is in the cut and the surface. The styling around it stays quiet.
The gown
The Brielle is a chiffon column with a diamond-chain halter. The chain holds the neckline and repeats at the waist, where two cutouts open above the hip. The skirt is cut to move, with a slit to the thigh. At the brand it retails for $1,100. Luxury Handbags carries the Brielle Sage Diamond Gown, the shoulder-strap sister of the halterneck in the same sage chiffon and the same chain detail, with the halterneck version arriving in the current delivery. There is also a Brielle Diamond Gown in another shade.
The jacket
The feather jacket is the Marlowe, an ostrich feather bomber the house makes in several colours. Luxury Handbags has the Marlowe Ruby Feather Bomber Jacket live now, and the sage version is in the current delivery. The feather is real ostrich, listed as 100% feather in the trim layer. If that matters to you, we cover the materials in Is Bronx and Banco vegan?
Why it worked
- One colour, top to toe. The sage gown and the sage jacket read as a single line, so the feather adds texture without adding noise.
- The jewellery was the dress. The crystal chain at the neck did the work an earring would usually do, and the styling left it alone.
- A warm metallic shoe. Gold and bronze sit inside sage rather than against it. A silver shoe would have cut the look in two.
- A small bag. A Tyler Ellis clutch, nothing on the shoulder, so the jacket stayed clean.
How to wear it yourself
You do not need a festival. The Brielle works for a black tie wedding, a summer gala and a late dinner. Take the jacket for the walk in and the photographs, and hand it off once you sit. Keep to one metal, keep the earring small, and let the neckline show. For a halter neck in the same spirit, the Madeline Halterneck White Gown is the house's bridal-white version of the same idea. For sizing, the gown is fitted through the bodice, so read the Bronx and Banco size guide before you order.
The house behind the dress
Natalie De'Banco founded Bronx and Banco in Sydney in 2009 and opened her first store at Bondi Beach. The label now works out of Sydney, New York and Hong Kong, shows at New York Fashion Week, and is stocked by Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus alongside Luxury Shoes . Its Fall Winter 2026 collection, shown in New York in February, is covered in our edit, and the question of whether it counts as luxury in Is Bronx and Banco a luxury brand?
