JLo is barely recognizable in this early promotional shot for the CBS series "Second Chances". It's not a good look, but we're willing to give cut her some slack. After all no one looked good in the early nineties.
Jennifer Lopez was obviously still trying to find her fashion feet when she was snapped attending the premire of 1994's "Mi Vida Loca", sporting a simple outfit that the style-conscious star wouldn't be caught dead in today.
More dowdy than demure, JLo looked like she's on her way to a pyjama party in this early snap.
Jennifer Lopez walked her first Oscars red carpet in 1997 in this beautiful beaded lace Badgley Mischka dress. She was clearly pleased with how she looked, turning to the designer to dress her for her next two award shows.
Daring to bare, JLo flashed some flesh on the red carpet for the 7th annual MTV Movie Awards in Santa Monica. This look has become something of a trademark for the impossibly toned star.
Proving that she can look good in just about everything, JLo confirmed her status as one of showbusiness' most stylish celebrities by managing to work this pink velour outfit, complete with hat and hoop earings. How does she do it?
Jennifer Lopez can pull off many things, but a poncho isn't one of them. A point she proved emphatically in 2005 when she turned up to the launch of her album "Rebirth" wearing this offbeat outfit.
Even whilst she was heavily pregnant, Lopez was turning the style all the way up to 11. Here the mother-to-be looked great in Gucci as she attended an event in honour of the iconic fashion house in 2007.
Lopez simply smouldered in a Gucci gown complete with an ostrich feathered shoulder and cutout side. With her slicked-back hair and flawless makeup, it's a timeless look that's become something of a calling card for the star, who's consistently one of the best dressed celebrities to walk the carpet.
Impeccable as it is, JLo's dress in this shot is nothing to write home about. However, the $8000 Swarovski studded silk snake she accesorized it with proved that the pop star will dress to impress at any opportunity.
With the World Watching, Lopez opened the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil with a quintessentially daring outfit earlier this month. Proof that even at 44 her sartorial star continued to rise.

If you got it, flaunt it. Now into her late 40s, Jennifer Lopez proves she's still got it. Showing off her toned legs, the star, who sported a slicked bob, amazed in a bejeweled Balmain dress with a blue and red cross and feathered black train at the 2018 "Heavenly Bodies" Met Gala.
