At 49 years old, Jennifer Lopez is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful women in show business. However, unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 20 years, this isn’t news. It might have taken Jennifer Lopez a few years to master red carpet fashion (she had a rough start back in the mid 1990s, or maybe it was just the fashion at the time), but there’s no denying that she has become one of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers and music legends.
Back in the early stages of her career, right after starring in the Selena (1997) biopic, Lopez was just a newcomer in Hollywood’s game. However, her talent and charisma made her climb up the ladder quickly: a few movies and a record deal made her the most influential Latina of her generation. Then, after only a couple of years in the industry, and a few red carpet fails here and there (don’t even make look back at her Golden Globes outfit in 1997), this Boricua became a legend in the world of fashion at the 2000 Grammy Awards. It was all thanks to her incredible body and poise, and Donatella Versace’s design, which gave the world a fashion masterpiece for the ages: that immortal green dress.
So, after twenty years of her commitment to fashion and even starting a few trends (you could say she redefined fashion for a whole generation), here’s a small compilation of Jennifer Lopez’ most iconic moments on the red carpet. You’ll get a look at her most jaw-dropping outfits, and you’ll also see how, apparently, this Latina from The Bronx is aging backwards.
