Jennifer Lopez wore low-slung white flares in the early 2000s, and she wore them well. Maybe that's why when we spotted her on the set of her new movie, Hustlers, we had instant flashbacks. While she likely wasn't meant to channel her pop-star persona from the early aughts, you could put her on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in '01, and we'd be fully prepared for a cut to Cris Judd in the audience.

We actually love spotting Jennifer in this nostalgic combination right now, since it's having a resurgence in fashion. Dressing like J Lo, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera in slinky tops and throwback denim is what's on the memo. Add a metallic hobo bag like the one Jennifer's carrying, and you're golden. A spaghetti-strap newspaper tank is just the ticket you need to get started, so keep reading to refresh your memory on some of J Lo's finest moments mastering the style, then pick up the essentials.
