Actress, singer and all round legend, JLo has blessed us with, possibly the best song of all time, 'Jenny From The Block' whilst creating iconic romantic comedies such as The Wedding Planner and Maid In Manhattan. Add to that the fact that she looks insanely good (the body, the face, the hair!) and Jennifer Lopez was (and still is) a force to be reckoned with.

There's never been a time where J-Lo doesn't look like a glowy sun-kissed angel with perfectly blow dried hair. So to celebrate her turning out major beauty look after major beauty look, we've rounded up her best ever hair and make-up moments. Trust us, there's been a lot.

In new promotional shots for her forthcoming film, Shotgun Wedding, with her co-star Josh Duhamel, Lopez is seen sporting a new shaggy wolf cut, which is a combination of a 1970s shag cut and a modern take on the 1980s mullet, consisting of several layers and shaping around the face. The whole look is finished off with golden highlights, and we couldn't love it more.

To celebrate her birthday Jennifer Lopezs shared a video of herself in black swimsuit while rubbing her brand new J-Lo Body FIRM + FLAUNT™ Targeted Booty Balm into her skin.

'7.24. SOMETHING. IS. COMING. Get ready to #FlauntIt like @JLo, [sic]' she captioned the clip.

In the video, we couldn't help but notice the newlywed's super long strawberry blonde hair that cascades down her back and reaches her derrière.

Lopez seemed to show off a new hair do on Monday, May 9, ditching her caramel balayage in favour of a chocolate brown colour, styled into glossy waves. Hair stylist Andrew Fitzsimons appeared to be the genius behind J-Lo's look, and we couldn't love it more.

'Business Barbie!!! [sic]' commented one follower. 'That hair colour tho [sic],' added another.

Gone is the bubblegum pink hair, JLo is officially back to her signature caramel blonde, this time with a sunkissed blonde split fringe.

Known for her signature caramel coloured hair, JLo surprised her fans with a total hair transformation, switching out her usual shade for bubblegum pink lengths that looked totally badass. The singer posted her new candyfloss hair colour on Instagram as part of a promotional shoot for her shoe range with DSW, pairing her pastel hair with a black beanie hat and sheer netted dress.

Although definitely a wig (JLo later posted a real time photo from the red carpet with her usual bronde hair colour), we're still seriously feeling the pre-Halloween pink vibes.

At The AMA Awards, 2020

Is there any look J Lo can't work? Answer - no. The singer paired a slinky, silver Balmain outfit with a sultry wet-look bob for this year's AMA Awards. Somewhere between Flashdance and Versace SS21, Lopez's 'just out of the shower' hair looked simultaneously low-key and totally epic. As per, the hair pro behind the look was J Lo's go-to stylist, Chris Appleton who employed a pair of curling tongs and a whole lot of shine spray to achieve the mermaid-esque waves.
