Who will design J. Lo’s gown?

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck haven’t officially set a wedding date, but already top designers are scrambling to dress J. Lo for her big day. Lopez’s friend Donatella Versace is “making a full-court press” to be the designer, says a fashion insider, though Valentino, who designed Lopez’s dress when she wed Cris Judd, is also “going the whole nine yards.”

“This will be the most looked at wedding dress since Carolyn Bessette’s,” says the source. “It would be an incredible coup for Donatella and she knows it. She’s pulling out all the stops on this one.” But, the insider says, ironically, Donatella’s past associations with J. Lo may hurt her cause. Lopez and Judd honeymooned at Donatella’s Lake Como villa, and the bride and her new groom may not want too many links to the previous marriage. What’s more, Versace is known for her outrageous styles, and as the insider put it, “a wedding is not the time for safety-pin dresses or to-the-navel necklines.”

Lopez’s spokesman insists he’s heard nothing from designers, and a Versace spokesman says “we’re not commenting on the matter.”
