Jennifer Lopez is the definition of a modern-day style icon. From memorable looks in the '90s to several of the most head-turning Met Gala outfits of all time, she has consistently been serving the best looks of the past few decades. Her bold fashion choices, made alongside her longtime stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, are an undeniable part of her appeal.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the 53-year-old multihyphenate is one of the best-dressed celebrities at any red carpet event. Lopez wears every outfit with utter confidence, beauty, and grace — and inspires legions of fans in the process. Her series of magical Ralph Lauren wedding dresses and the Alexander McQueen bridal look she repurposed from 2004's "Jersey Girl" come to mind. But probably, her most influential look is the green sheer Versace gown she wore to the 2000 Grammys that sparked the very creation of Google Images.
Whether she's at the 2023 Met Gala in a Ralph Lauren halter gown paired with a fascinator and a flowing train, or she's simply stepping out in Los Angeles in all-black activewear with her Birkin bag in hand, Jennifer Lopez continues to be one of the most impactful style icons of our generation. She has a signature style that inspires every outfit she wears, incorporating glamorous, sultry, and sophisticated elements into her wardrobe that all feel authentically her.
