Jennifer Lopez denied entry at Chanel store, splurges tens of thousands on rival brand after walking away unbothered: ‘No problem’
Jennifer Lopez was denied entry at a Chanel store in Istanbul, only to walk away unfazed and drop tens of thousands at rival brands.

Jennifer Lopez recently had an awkward run-in at the Chanel store in Istanbul, Turkey. While shopping at Istinye Park, a luxury mall packed with high-end designer stores, she strolled up to the brand’s boutique only to be stopped at the door. The guards reportedly told her the store was full, most likely because the staff didn’t recognise her. By the time they realised their mistake, it was already too late.
Jennifer Lopez stopped from entering Chanel store
The Jenny From the Block singer is in the city for her Up All Night summer tour, which kicked off in Spain on July 8 and wraps up on August 10 in Kazakhstan. Wearing a baby-pink dress with matching oversized sunglasses, she was stopped at the Chanel entrance and, according to Turkiye Today, simply replied with an unbothered “Okay, no problem.” No drama, no scene, JLo just walked away. Later, the staff realised who they had turned away and tried to invite her back in, but she refused. By then, she was happily spending her time (and a reported tens of thousands of dollars) at other designer shops like Celine and Beymen.
Lopez has been in Turkey as part of her 19-stop tour. After cancelling her North American tour and residency last year, the singer announced a limited run of shows earlier this year. She performed in Istanbul on August 5 but hasn’t shared anything about that show online yet. However, she did post about her July 24 birthday, which she celebrated in Turkiye following a concert in Antalya. In the picture dump, she was seen in makeup-free selfies, dancing clips, and behind-the-scenes moments. The singer’s current Istanbul tour has so far been a solid experience compared to the soft ticket sales in Las Vegas, as reported earlier. Two top Turkish DJs, Faruk Sabancı and EREN AB, had a pre-performance before Lopez’s 90 minutes of high-energy show. Her setlist comprised her biggest hits like “If You Had My Love,” “On the Floor,” and “Waiting for Tonight,” along with some of the most stunning outfit changes, designed by Rob Zangardi, ranging from glittery bodysuits to flowing gowns.

Lopez recently parted ways with her record label, BMG, after her 2024 comeback album “This Is Me… Now” received an underwhelming response, followed by a flop documentary. She’s now releasing music independently and has already dropped a new single, “Birthday.” According to insiders, the singer is currently looking for a new label to release her post-divorce album. Lopez parted ways with Ben Affleck just two years after their marriage, reportedly on their second wedding anniversary.
The two have since spoken separately in interviews about divorce, though they refrained from stating the actual cause of the split. “It’s a lifelong process,” Lopez said in one of the conversations with Nikki Glasser of Interview. “When your whole house blows up, you’re standing there in the rubble going, ‘How do I not ever let that happen again?’ Then you start examining it little by little, saying, ‘Okay, I did this, this was my part in it, this was what I should have seen early on, this is what I didn’t look at.’ Those things are what really are the lessons.” Her split has reportedly influenced the emotional tone of her recent songs.
