Jennifer Lopez’s visit to the Chanel store in Turkey has recently become a hot topic on the internet. According to a local publication, the 56-year-old was denied entry into the store at İstinye Park, Istanbul. Reportedly, a security guard didn’t recognize the singer and thus didn’t allow her into the shop. J.Lo was seemingly out shopping a day before her concert at Yenikapı Festival Park.

Jennifer Lopez’s Turkey tour seems to have created a buzz on social media. A few photos from her shopping spree at Istanbul’s İstinye Park went viral. They captured the moment when the singer was refused entry to a Chanel store. According to Turkiye Today, the shop’s security guard failed to recognize her and stopped her from trying to enter the French luxury fashion house’s establishment.
Furthermore, a local media outlet, Patronlar Dunyasi, described the incident in detail (the text in the article was translated using Google Translate). It mentioned that security denied J.Lo entry, saying, “We’re full.” The diva reportedly didn’t make a fuss and simply replied, “Okay, no problem,” and calmly walked away.
Later, Chanel’s staff members supposedly personally approached the celebrity and invited her to their establishment. However, she allegedly declined and continued shopping in the stores next door. Reportedly, Lopez spent “tens of thousands of dollars” at Celine and Beymen.
The “Maid in Manhattan” star arrived in Istanbul for her ongoing tour, Up All Night: Live in 2025. The tour commenced on July 8, 2025, in Pontevedra, Spain, and is set to end on August 10, 2025, in Sardinia, Italy.
The Chanel store incident is not the only happening that gained attention during her tour. During the Warsaw concert, Lopez flawlessly navigated a wardrobe malfunction on stage. It occurred when the host and background dancers were singing the birthday song for her. Suddenly, her skirt slipped, leaving everyone stunned. However, J.Lo handled the situation like a pro and made light of the mishap.
