As one of the original pop princess babes, Jennifer Lopez and her curvy derriere defined urban latino style in the late 90s / early 00s. With a bulging wardrobe of low-slung flares, corset-tied tops and gold baker boy hat the gorgeous New York-born star ruled the red carpets and stages.
She also championed the booty way before Kim Kardashian and her Kurvy sisters hit the scene.
J-Lo had some high profile boyfs, too. When she was hanging Puff Daddy (as he was called back then) she rocked bandanas, white hipster jeans and tons of gold. With Ben Affleck (awww, Bennifer!) Jen channeled old-school Hollywood with sweeping gowns, low sleek buns and, erm, lots of gold.
As a 45-year-old mum of beautiful twins we reckon the actress/singer has never looked hotter so what better time to check out her style history, eh?
Enjoy…

In a frock that's so Essex we're surprised the TOWIE lot haven't ripped it off.

Gold was a big part of early J-Lo's look. That hoop belt looks like a portal into another universe.

The dress... those boots... that piano... WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

Why wear one lot of shiny leather when you can wear TWO?

The Made In Chelsea lot might think they pioneered this jumper-over-the-shoulders look, but NO.

So Joan Collins it's actually cool.
