Oct. 4 -- Newlyweds Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd turned heads at Milan's fashion week when they showed up at the Versace show on Tuesday.

The sex symbol/singer married the choreographer near Los Angeles on Saturday and headed for an Italian honeymoon, starting with a party thrown by designer Donatella Versace.

"Everyone knows I love fashion. I don't think that's a secret," Lopez told Reuters backstage before the show. "As for Versace, I think it's really sexy, very feminine."Donatella has been very generous to say we could come and stay with her, and we just couldn't turn it down," Lopez said of the designer who dressed her in the still-talked-about, body-baring green dress that she wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards. (Her companion to that event was her then-boyfriend, rapper Sean Combs, whom she split from earlier this year.)

Magical Wedding Day

The singer/actress, who unveiled her own fashion line earlier this year, was deemed a "fashion risk taker" by People magazine this year, and one of fashion's "perfect 10" by Us magazine.

On Tuesday, she turned up at the fashion show in a floor-length, silver satin gown with yet another plunging neckline, buckled in at the waist with a thick, silvery-blue belt. Going dewy-eyed like a romantic schoolgirl and stroking Judd's back as she talked, Lopez said her wedding had been "magical, really romantic." The arrival in Milan of the happy couple and their team of black-clad bodyguards gave fashion week a touch of VIP glamour, which had been noticeably absent thus far.Until Tuesday, only Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham had arrived in town for the twice yearly fashion fest, whose mood has been seriously dampened by last month's attacks on the United States. The Milan shows ended Wednesday when the traveling troupe of fashionistas headed to the catwalks of Paris for the next round of spring/summer 2002 collections. Reuters contributed to this story.
