14 DAY TRIAL // There are few women who could wear a dress like the one Jennifer Lopez wore on the red carpet at last night’s American Music Awards 2014, and even fewer of her age – and not look cheap or trashy. This is a vivid reminder that Lopez, the famous Jenny from the Block, is perhaps the fiercest vampire in showbiz right now.
She’s not extraordinarily elegant or stylish in a way that Cate Blanchett is, for example, but she has built this vampy image for herself and it suits her like a glove.
This is why on any other woman, no matter the age, this dress JLo wore would have looked cheap, inappropriate and very tacky.
Jennifer Lopez dazzles on the red carpet
As you can see in the gallery, Jennifer wore a pale pink / blush Reem Acra dress that was more like a scarf in the upper part, revealing her very toned abdomen and equally toned arms. She accessorized it with Louboutin sparkly pumps and jewelry from Norman Silverman Diamonds.
If you look closely, you will see that JLo was pretty much dripping in diamonds: since she removed her engagement ring and wedding band from Marc Anthony, she’s been favoring this multi-ring look. It works for her.
As for the styling, Jennifer went all dramatic: she wore her hair slicked back like in her latest music video, for “Booty” (only less wet-looking), and opted for heavy makeup on the eyes and a very subtle lip color. In other words, she got the smoky eyes plus nude lip combo, and it worked like a charm with the dress, which was already enough to get attention.
A killer body at 45
Jennifer Lopez is 45 years old and she’s a mother of twins. She’s always looked amazing, but she was never in the amazing shape she is now, which she credits to a positive outlook, plenty of hours spent weekly at the gym and a very healthy diet.
First of all, you don’t get a body like JLo’s without cutting back on unhealthy treats: the diva doesn’t smoke and she doesn’t drink alcohol, and has removed all sugary or salty treats from her life. Some time ago, she tried the vegan challenge and it helped her kickstart her weight loss, but she’s eating meat and dairy again now.
Secondly, you don’t get a body like JLo’s without sweating your backside off at the gym. She works out every day with personal trainer Tracy Anderson, who is also known as one of the toughest celebrity trainers out there, having worked before with the likes of Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.
When she’s not working out, Jennifer is rehearsing for her performances, her tour or her music videos, so even if she’d want to skip a class, she couldn’t because she’d still have to train.
The result of all that work is what you can admire in the gallery. We assume the satisfaction of knowing that she’s gotten people talking about how she has one of the greatest bodies in the industry more than makes up for all the hard work.
