Can you believe that Jennifer Lopez is turning 50 years old today?
The singer, dancer, actress and TV presenter (gosh, what can’t she do?) first came on the scene in 1990 when she landed a part on the show In Living Color, and has since gone on to be one of the biggest superstars in the world.
The fact that she is still slaying at everything, and even doing it better than those half her age, proves why she deserves to be celebrated as she continues to entertain us into the second half-century of her life.
In June, the Council of Fashion Designers of America named Jennifer Lopez a Fashion Icon and gave her a trophy to honour the occasion. As Vogue reports, she was a deserving recipient and was clearly touched to be given the honour.
She said at the time: “Receiving an award for the fashion image you put forward is a huge honor… It’s an honor to be recognized by some of the most talented artists and designers in the world for simply doing what you love—thank you.”
5. She is still a hustler
If you have not yet seen J-Lo teaching Constance Wu how to pole dance, you might want to quickly watch the trailer of the film Hustlers! The cast shot the film this year, so yes, J-Lo at 50 can probably work a pole better than you. Hustlers is her 34th film and will be coming out later this year.
