Birkins, Big Sunglasses, and Lots of Sparkle: Looking Back at Jennifer Lopez’s Best Fashion Moments

The Jennifer Lopez style codes are as follows: enormous sunglasses, an Hermès bag, a towering platform, and plenty of rhinestones. Any J.Lo outfit will likely have at least two of those elements, if not more. But even when it doesn’t, we can still point to J.Lo as a personal style standout. After all, the plunging green Versace dress she wore to the 2000 Grammys inspired so many online searches that it begot Google Images.

Lopez has mastered the art of incorporating her preference for the luxe with her “Jenny from the block” roots. She’s a regular high-low dresser, like when she paired dirty wash jeans with a Chanel flap, or an oversized black Birkin with cream-colored loungewear. But she’s also willing to take fashion risks, whether she’s championing new designers like Grace Ling, or trying out outré headwear.

Jennifer Lopez’s style has made her a regular in the front row at fashion shows and on the Met Gala red carpet. (In 2024, she served as the co-host for “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” where she wore a resplendent Schiaparelli—covered in rhinestones, of course.) In honor of the singer, actor, and dancer’s 55th birthday, take a look back at some of her standout fashion moments.
