Jennifer Lopez has a timeless style. The "Cambia el Paso" singer has been slaying red carpets ever since she first came onto the Hollywood scene. Keep in mind she's been in the industry for decades, and her style just gets better over time.

Basically, she is the definition of glamour, but she's also not afraid to take fashion risks.
