You Need To See How J.Lo's Beauty Looks Have Evolved Since The '90s
A forever icon.
Even amidst a very large flurry of celebrity-founded beauty brands, no one was anything but ecstatic when Jennifer Lopez announced hers was forthcoming. Lopez has been in the spotlight since the early '90s when she hit the scene as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color, and by 1999, released her first hit album On The 6. Back then, she often wore her natural curls, moody, nude lip colors, and the telltale thin brows of the era. In the 15+ years since, Jennifer Lopez's beauty evolution has brought constant glamour.
And while Lopez was cementing her status as a triple threat, she managed to also solidify her presence as a beauty icon, and a red carpet must-see. And Jennifer Lopez's beauty evolution through the years has basically been a series of glow-ups— it's pretty much impossible to believe she's now in her 50s. One thing that's never changed: she always looks incredible. These days, her look is more current tousled blonde locks, and impossibly bronzed, glowy skin—and exudes Hollywood glamour. In case you needed more evidence of her icon status: a certain green Versace dress (you know the one) is said to have been the catalyst for the creation of Google Image Search.
Below, revisit some of her best beauty and fashion moments over the last 15+ years.
