AnacondaPremiere, Los Angeles (1997)
“I was kind of new to premieres.
I was just finding myself, my own style.
I loved that dress.
I remember it was way cut-down low.
Little did I know how low I would go later in my career!
I had to sew it up.”
BamboozledPremiere, New York City (2000)
“It was a Gucci jacket.
I was very intoGucciat the time.
And it just became my signature look, very monochromatic, basic, sexy.
I loved my hair then.
The whole look was fashion and the Bronx my two sides.
I was branding before I even knew what branding was.
I wanted it on my shirt, my earrings, everywhere.
I had no idea it would last like it did.
I just thought, the album is calledJ.Loso I have to have ‘J.Lo’ everywhere.”

“‘That skin!
I remember back then,Allurecovers were really close-up.
No one else really did that.
I didn’t know how it would turn out, but I loved it.Paul Cavacodid that shoot.
He’s Latino and has just done so much forLatinasin the industry.
A big shout-out to Paul.
I love him.”
Academy Awards, Los Angeles (2002)
“This would not be my favorite hairstyle.
I’m gladOribeliked it, or maybe he was just trying to defend himself, God rest his soul.
I love him so much.
I was so stuck to the idea.
I think Oribe was more afraid of it.
Were going to go with it.’
Wrong and strong.”
Backstage AtTRL, New York City (2002)
“I lovedTRL.
It was like a second home for me at that time.
This was part of my J.Lo sweatsuit line that I had started.

And I was like, ‘I’m not going to wear sneakers.
I’m going to wear heels with it!'”

This is what it’s going to be.'”
My nose was ready to pop, my feet.
Everything was ready to pop.
I would love to do it again.
The Met Ball, New York (2015)

Yeah, so [Donatella Versace] made me a dragon dress.
The red carpet is the most fun.
And finally, when you sit down, you don’t want to move.”
Grammy Awards, Los Angeles (2019)
“I love this outfit.
And I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I have to have that hat.’

It better have been you.'”
We had a good time.
When I produce a film, I like to have a good feeling on the set.

I had just filmedHustlers, so I was in super good shape.”
I need to have a mane, I guess, because I’m a Leo.

I like the sparkly ones, the different color ones."
