Jennifer Lopez has worn many hats in her collaborations with Netflix. In 2023, she played the role of a highly-skilled former U.S. operative trying to find her kidnapped daughter in the action thriller, The Mother, and one year later, she delved into sci-fi as a cynical data analyst in a fight to save humanity from A.I. in Atlas. In 2025, production also wrapped on yet another project at the streamer — The Last Mrs. Parrish, an adaptation of the slow-burning thriller novel by Liv Constantine directed by Robert Zemeckis. Before that film's release, however, she has another job to report to in just under one month — Office Romance.
Described as a charming and raunchy rom-com, Office Romance stars Lopez as a high-powered airline CEO, a role that she teased with an update on her LinkedIn page. Not only is she the head of the company, but she also operates as a pilot, constantly navigating high-stakes decision-making whether she's on the ground or in the air. One such unexpected decision is her relationship with the airline's newest lawyer, played by Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein. Although the two are strict workaholics, a secret office romance blossoms between them when they decide to follow their hearts instead of the rules for once.
Netflix followed up Lopez's teasing on Wednesday by sharing the official trailer, showing a love story that's as risky and raunchy as it is heartwarming. Both stars have a lot of experience to bring to the table when it comes to matters of the heart. Lopez is a rom-com queen, having dominated the scene from The Wedding Planner to Maid in Manhattan, The Back-Up Plan, and more recent movies like Shotgun Wedding. Goldstein, on the other hand, may be better known for his comedy-drama efforts, particularly in collaboration with Bill Lawrence, but he's also shown a romantic side with the feature All of You with Imogen Poots. In addition to being Lopez's latest man of the hour, he also put his writing skills to work, penning the screenplay with Ted Lasso writer and co-creator Joe Kelly.
Who Else Is Clocking in for 'Office Romance'?
Office Romance hails from director Ol Parker, who's also familiar with Netflix, having co-written the screenplay for A Boy Called Christmas. He also previously helmed and co-wrote Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and the George Clooney and Julia Roberts rom-com Ticket to Paradise. Adding to the high-profile starring duo and creators is a buzzy supporting cast, featuring Betty Gilpin, Amy Sedaris, Tony Hale, and Bradley Whitford. Rounding out the cast is Edward James Olmos in a reunion with Lopez nearly 30 years after he played her on-screen father in the biopic Selena.
Office Romance premieres on Netflix on June 5. Check out the trailer in the player above.
Amal Clooney Wore Optical Illusion Jeans Cosigned by Jennifer Lopez—Fall-Ready Styles Start at $44

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.
The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.

Clooney opted for a pair of medium-wash jeans with subtle fading (another Y2K reference, IMO). Her blues had an ultra-high waist—so high, in fact, that they appeared to hit at the ribcage. It’s the complete opposite of the controversial low-rise denim, so it’s a possible sign that the high-high waist is coming back, too. Not to mention, Clooney’s jeans had a slightly oversized fit from the thighs to the ankles, but it’s that flared hem that has all my attention; it’s taking me back to my middle school days when I’d wear my True Religion flares every single day. (No joke.)
Gap High-Rise ‘70s Flare Jeans

It’s undeniable that Clooney’s jeans have that nostalgic flair (ahem, flare, wink, wink), but it’s also undeniable that celebs are clamoring to the style because it’s incredibly flattering. The blues basically act like an optical illusion, making legs look super long, especially when paired with a style that has an extra-long hemline and sky-high platforms á la Lopez; the singer is 5-feet-5-inches, but don’t you agree with me that she looks way taller in these jeans? Yeah, that’s thanks to the flares. The flare hem and longer inseams help create the look of legs for days, but add in a high-waisted cut, platform heels, and a crop top, and you’ll fool people into thinking you’re inches taller.
Leg-elongating factor aside, there’s no denying that flares are fun and nostalgia-inducing—and that’s exactly what I need right now. So, shop some more fun, funky flares from Frame, NYDJ, and Mavi below.
