8 of Jennifer Lopez’s Most Iconic Looks in Honor of Her 50th Birthday

Since she hit the Hollywood scene in ’91, Jennifer Lopez has been slaying red carpets like it’s her job. Now, at 50 years old, not a damn thing has changed (except we are starting to wonder if she’s aging in reverse). In honor of the “On the Floor” singer’s 50th birthday, here, we celebrate eight of her best looks.

When She Was Pretty In Pink Ralph & Russo

A thigh-high slit and billowy train made J.Lo’s 2017 Grammy Awards gown one to remember. And that neckline? Definitely etched in our memory as one of the rare times a turtleneck and cleavage combo looked fierce.

When She Brought Her Expert Cutout Game To The Billboard Latin Music Awards

Don’t be fooled by the cutouts that she’s got. She’s still Jenny from the Block (but in Julien MacDonald).

When She Put One Of Her Best Ass-ets On Display

Peek-a-booty. We see you in that dragon and sequin-encrusted Versace gown at the 2015 Met Gala, girl.

When She Channeled An Irl Angel For Her ‘j-rod’ Debut

The “Dinero” singer floated, not walked, down the 2017 Met Gala Red Carpet with her boo by her side and put out all those I Dream of Jeannie Jenny vibes.

When She Made A Toga Look Seriously Regal

Bronzed, beautiful and dripping in Valentino chiffon at the 2003 Oscars? Say no more.

When She Took A Page Out Of Old Hollywood’s Playbook

What does a superstar wear to the 2016 Golden Globes? Why, a bright yellow caped Giambattista Valli gown with a thigh-high slit and oodles of diamonds, of course.

When She Rocked The Green Versace Dress That Will Go Down In History

This 2000 Versace getup is three things: gauzy, daring and positively J.Lo. What more could anyone want?

And Finally, When A-rod Put A Ring On It

Couture is great and all, but nothing beats that look of happiness on J.Lo’s face (scroll to see more pics). The view and her gauzy sundress aren’t too shabby either.
