Jennifer Lopez versus Rihanna: who looked cuter at the ‘Home’ premiere?

HOME Special Screening

I keep seeing the TV commercials for Home, the new Dreamworks animated film, and I’m just like… eh? I can see why it made sense on paper to have a cute little girl (voiced by Rihanna) traveling home with the help of some kind of helper robot or something (voiced by Jim Parsons), but the commercials just make the film seem like there was some trouble from script to screen. Maybe I’m a bad judge though – I’m sure Home will make a bajillion dollars.

Anyway, these are some photos from yesterday afternoon’s family-friendly premiere in Westwood. Jennifer Lopez – who voices a character AND contributes songs for the film – brought her kids, Max and Emme. J.Lo also wore this Zuhair Murad dress which… eh. I don’t really like it but I think we should give her credit for wearing something cutesy to a kids’ movie premiere. She’s not showing a lot of skin, which is probably the point. Also: her hair looks terrible!! And the heels are Christian Louboutin’s Follies Strass.

Guess who else was there to support J.Lo? That’s right, her on-again boyfriend Casper Smart. In interview after interview for MONTHS, Jennifer has been saying that she’s single. And the whole time, I’m pretty sure she’s been seeing Casper on the DL, because that’s just who she is. Hey, at least she’s ashamed (she should be). But I hate that she feels comfortable enough to bring him to her premiere.

Meanwhile, the star of the film, Rihanna, came out in this very sweet Dior gown. I like that she’s covered up too, although I think her makeup is a bit too dark. On the whole, this is very Dior-princess though. I could see Felicity Jones in this dress too. (No comment on the bangs because I’m pretty sure they’re just clip-in.)

And here’s Viola Davis with her daughter Genesis. Genesis is getting so big!! I think V and Genesis just wanted to see this movie, Viola doesn’t have a voice part.

    What is going on with J Lo’s hair? And that dress….just NO.
    Great legs though.

    • LadyMTL says:

      Not just her hair, her face is looking really mask-like. I know it’s probably just the makeup but yeah…combined with the hair, it all comes off as a bit plastic and freaky.

    • Jan Harf says:

      I must be the only one, but I LOVE her hair! Casper is so embarrassing it hurts. He is the master douche overlord.

    • inner stillness says:

      JLO still with Casper. LOL
      She’s been with him the whole time, there have been reports and photos of Casper with her for months, at several award shows after parties or even on redcarpet in the background waiting for her. When it comes to her love life, JLO needs to stay in therapy,something is just not right there with her.

      Her legs look pretty, but the dress is giving a whatever happened to baby-jane vibe on a late 40’s person and Her face is pretty but ,is looking way too hard botoxed.

      RiRi’s dress looks like my Aunts 1960’s prom dress and the fit is bad. RiRi and JLO are both beauties , just bad outfits in this outing and JLO a bit too much botox.

  2. AtlLady says:

    Not fond of either outfit. Ms. Lopez’s dress would look cute on a tweener, not her, but nice shoes. Ms. RiRi’s dress is poorly tailored plus bad shoes. Viola Davis dressed down so her daughter being dressed up shone the light on her little one. Ms. Davis gets my vote for best dressed.

    • Kiddo says:

      Tweener? I was thinking 7 year old party dress.

    • Tiffany says:

      I agree ATL. This was a afternoon, kids film premiere so casual would be the way to go. Even Parsons is over dressed.

    • Rachel says:

      Co-sign everything.

    • jen2 says:

      I think JLo and her daughter should have exchanged dress lengths. Wearing a child’s party dress is just wrong. That dress looks silly on JLo but would have been cute on her daughter. Viola and her daughter are fab.

    • FLORC says:

      Viola looks dressed down because she could. Comfort appeared the goal over dressing casual so her daughter would shine. I just think that’s a stretch as the primary motivation.

      And yea JLo is wearing a dress bett suited to someone in the single digit ages.

    • TeaAndSympathy says:

      The kids win. Lopez and Rhianna look chav. At least Lopez didn’t bring the PornPout… Hang on. I just looked at the first pic. That fringe on Rhianna is hideous.

  3. EC says:

    Umm is Ms. Lopez wearing an anklet? I can’t help, I will forever think anklets are completely tacky. And her dress is verging on ice skater territory, but AT LEAST she covered up for a children’s premiere. Small victories!

    Hate Rihanna’s dress. I had higher hopes for her first Dior outing.

    • QQ says:

      Verging?? Only way that dress Verges into Ice Skater is in that is a Full Salchow with Triple Lutz .. that dress is Absolutely ridiculous and so Marchesa Looking it offends

      • EC says:

        You’re so right. She went Full Skater and never looked back. She gets 0 execution points from me, as if she face planted on her double toe loop. Her son gets a 10/10 tho – how freaking cute is he?!

  4. Lenn says:

    Yikes! Casper looks awful.

    • Petee says:

      Jenny why are you still with Casper?You could do so much better.Rihanna’s dress was horrible.Actually no one looked particularly good.The film will be a hit because everyone love’s Jim Parsons.Sheldon forever.

    • FingerBinger says:

      I think this is the best he’s ever looked. He looks better with hair.

  5. GlimmerBunny says:

    I hate Rihanna’s dress (but then again I hate almost all Raf Simons for Dior). Jennifer’s dress looks cheap but her kids are very well dressed (no comment on Casper and his crazy boots). Viola’s daughter is so cute!

  6. Taterho says:

    JLo raided Nancy Kerrigan’s closet. Rihanna looks ill fitted or just uncomfortable. Casper…LOL
    Genesis wins!

  7. ela says:

    Rihanna looks terrible!

    • Leona says:

      Right? I mean wtf is she wearing? It looks like a really tacky brides maid dress. And JLo is no better either. Urgh.

    • ISO says:

      I predicted the Dior endorsement would spell a bad fashion year for Rhi Rhi. This is the wrong design house for an otherwise ecclectic daring and sexy woman. Sad.

  8. meme says:

    Viola Davis gets my vote. Jennifer looks way too twee for 40-something year old grown woman and that dress on Rhianna is hideous. Why do people even want to wear Dior?

  9. maeliz says:

    Jennifers dress would look cute on her daughter

  10. smee says:

    What the ### is Casper wearing!!!????

    Normally JLo and RiRi can look beautiful but both of those dress are terrible. Thick, stiff-looking material, bad cut, bad fit, bad shoes. Bad.

  11. mememe says:

    Before I clicked, I thought “Rihanna is ALWAYS best dressed,” but her dress is ill-fitting, the makeup is too dramatic for it. Jo looks great, although the hem could come down a couple inches.

    • Amy says:

      Agreed. It looks like Rihanna just had this in her closet and put it on to show up to the premiere. Jenny is…well pretty. I dunno maybe it’s my inner drag queen ice skater but this look makes me happy for a children’s premiere.

    • inner stillness says:

      I’m wondering is it vintage, I swear my Aunt has a dress on like Rihana’s in her old 1969 or 1970 prom photo.
      Someone should have done some trilogien to RiRi’s dress, it looks too big.

      Don’t like Jennifer’s dress much either.
      JLO looks like she trying way too hard to dress youthful in this dress, it looks ridiculous.

  12. dr mantis toboggan says:

    Love jlo’s shoes, but they should be confiscated for that anklet offense. I will take them

  13. KellyBee says:

    Between JLO vr Rihanna outfit I’m going with Viola for the win.

    Rihanna looks over dressed and JLO dress looks like it belongs to a tween Figure Skating Champion.

  14. HK9 says:

    Ok, JLo looks like a lost figure skater and Rihanna needs to take in the skirt and make it tea length…..proportion ladies…proportion.

  15. Greek Chic says:

    Rihanna’s dress is terrible.
    Ugly fabric,tailoring and design, it ruins her amazing figure and makes her look shapeless. Rihanna can’t wear everything, there are some clothes that terrible that she can’t support them. She looks like an old lady here.
    Dior these days is hideous. I wish Rihanna would collaborate with a more avant garde label like Balenciaga, Alexander Wang etc.
    I am sure we’ll see more terrible Dior appearances because of her contract.

    J.lo has zero self to show up with this dress and Casper Smart.

  16. Jan Harf says:

    My kids and all their friends are dying to see this movie. So, yeah. This movie will make a bajillion dollars.
    Riri looks a hot mess. So unpolished. Blah.
    But I still love her!

  17. CatJ says:

    Maybe Madonna could do the RiRI hand tattoo thing, to cover up her hand wrinkles.

  18. Ava says:

    Jennifer….ugh. You are beautiful but please leave that kind of dress for your young daughter. Not appropriate.

  19. k says:

    Casper smart Cheographed the dance scenes in the film so he has a right to be there

    Jlo and Rihanna have looked better

    • inner stillness says:

      That’s one way to have her BoyToys on set while she works on a film. Oh so JLO got him another gig.

  20. TWINK says:

    I think Viola is there because she’s producing and starring in a movie with JLO called Lila & Eve.

  21. Tessy says:

    JLo looks like she borrowed a bridesmaid dress from her Wedding Planner movie; Rihanna obviously made her own gown in high school home ec class and decided it was time to wear it.

    Viola and her daughter look fine for the event.

  22. Pearson says:

    Casper is so so ridiculous looking I can’t stand it. Between the length of the jacket and his gold high top sneakers ( or whatever they are) he looks about three inches tall. And what’s with all the rings? Ugh. Just NO.

  23. Lauren says:

    Blond clip on extensions – so obvious.
    J-Dress looks rather figure skaterish.

    Rihanna has an incredible body – hidden in a frumpy Downton Abbey dress. RiRi looks uncomfortable and pissed off.

  24. Snowpea says:

    God I love JLos figure. To me it’s perfect; nice round bottom, small waist, shapely legs. She’s such a peach. And you know how she always has that cute baby hair thing going on around the forehead? Her daughter has it too. Adorable.

  25. Erm says:

    I wonder if J. Lo’s daughter picked her dress? The first thing I thought when I saw it was Queen Elsa. The length is all J. Lo though.
