Jennifer Lopez turned heads during Vogue World in Milan on September 22, but it was not only her glamorous appearance that caught attention. The singer and actress was initially watching the event before unexpectedly appearing alongside a much younger man, prompting viewers to wonder who he was. The clue came from the comments, where one person referred to him simply as “Lorenzo.” The mystery was soon solved: Lopez’s companion was 24-year-old Italian tennis star Lorenzo Musetti. Ranked No. 6 in the world at the time, Musetti is an Olympic bronze medalist who normally spends his time competing on tennis courts rather than walking fashion runways. The Milan appearance marked his runway debut, creating an unexpected crossover between Lopez’s world of entertainment and Musetti’s professional sports career. The pair also attracted attention because of their 33-year age difference, although the photos simply showed them sharing the spotlight at the fashion event.
Musetti’s appearance also had a fashion connection of its own. He wore Bottega Veneta, a brand he had already worked with as an ambassador, while Lopez appeared in Dolce & Gabbana. His oversized jacket and loose-fitting trousers divided social-media users, with some criticizing the unusual silhouette and others praising the overall pairing. The outfit was consistent with Bottega Veneta’s Fall 2026 aesthetic, which featured exaggerated proportions and broad shoulders. Musetti has previously spoken about his interest in fashion, saying that feeling comfortable in what he wears can give him confidence on the tennis court. He has also cited Roger Federer as a style influence and childhood idol. For Lopez, the Milan appearance added another memorable fashion moment to a career filled with them, from her iconic green Versace dress at the 2000 Grammys to her surprise return to the Versace runway in 2019. This time, however, the unexpected mystery surrounding the man beside her became the evening’s biggest talking point.
