In May 2024, Melissa Cohen Biden and Hunter Biden were photographed leaving Giorgio Baldi, an L.A. eatery frequented by celebrities — none other than Rihanna is one of its most famous regulars. Amid rumors of an impending breakup from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez was also spotted heading to the Italian restaurant solo, according to People. Speaking of which, Melissa was dressed as if she was hoping to mingle with J.Lo from before the first iteration of Bennifer — we’re talking “If You Had My Love” era Lopez.
The nostalgia factor was strong in Melissa’s red satin mini skirt with a floral pattern, black pleather top with a keyhole detail, and matching jacket. But perhaps the most late ’90s element of her ensemble was her knee-high platform boots — all she was missing was a tattoo choker from Hot Topic. She looked like she was ready to strut through a Third Eye Blind music video, and she definitely would have been one of the coolest girls at her local theater when “The Matrix” premiered. Unfortunately, her look was missing something modern to save it from being a little too dated. Her flimsy outerwear and matching top also had a fast fashion feel that made her outfit totally inappropriate for a Hollywood hotspot where she might rub elbows with famous tastemakers such as Beyoncé, Hailey Bieber, and their respective husbands.
