On Tuesday, Becky G was spotted arriving at a studio in Los Angeles for a taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” The Latin pop star was dressed in a dripping two-piece set. The light lavender ensemble consisted of a “wet” short-sleeve top that featured cutouts on the chest and mesh panels. Becky teamed her top with a matching mini skirt that had ruched detailing at the center.

The “LBD” singer complemented the look with a white shoulder bag and styled her hair in sultry beach waves. She accessorized with chunky chain bracelets and silver midi rings.

When it came down to footwear, Becky dived deep into the archives of Y2K to revive a signature staple shoe style, a pair of sky high platform boots. The slip-on silhouette had a fitting shaft that wrapped tight around her calves and gave the illusion of a sock. While the rest of the construction included a thick outer sole and a towering 7-inch block heel. Post-pandemic, platform boots have emerged as one of the most popular footwear styles. The dramatic heel easily adds a flair and eye-catching element to any outfit.

Becky G has a fierce, fabulous and fiery fashion sense. From glam motorsport-esque outfits to beautifully bedazzled gowns and jaw-dropping dresses, it is safe to say that she is quickly becoming a style icon. The entertainer is never afraid to push boundaries and make a dramatic, but forceful statement. For footwear, the “Dollar” artist tends to gravitate towards strappy sandals, towering platforms and classic pumps.

For some, the pope's big Holy Year only aggravates housing crisis as overtourism pushes out Romans
When Pope Francis left the Vatican earlier this month for his traditional Christmastime outing downtown, he acknowledged what many Romans have been complaining about for months: That his big plans for a Holy Year had turned their city into a giant construction pit, with traffic-clogging roadworks tearing up major thoroughfares, scaffolding covering prized monuments and short-term rentals gobbling up apartment blocks. Francis urged Romans to pray for their mayor — “He has a lot to do” — but to nevertheless welcome the upcoming Jubilee as a time of spiritual repair and renewal. “These worksites are fine, but beware: Don’t forget the worksites of the soul!” Francis said.
