Jennifer Lopez is a major trendsetter. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. The Boricua star has a unique style that's all her own, and because of it, she has inspired other celebs to rock similar looks. You know what they say: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Right? Well, we had to pair a few of the imitators with the queen herself, and guess who came out on top every single time?
The 51-year-old star has been doing this fashion thing for decades and was even among the first celebs to release her own clothing line back in the day. While that may seem quite common now, it was super inspiring to walk around wearing a shirt with the "J.Lo" logo on your chest, knowing it was made by a Latina. Since then, she's been dressed by the biggest designers in the world and slaying the fresh-off-the-runway looks better than any supermodel—all while embracing her famous natural curves.

When you have a style as chic and memorable as hers, you're bound to get a couple of followers watching your every move. In fact, quite a few of our favorite stars have tried replicating some of J.Lo's most iconic outfits. (Even Beyoncé is a fan of La Lopez's style!) And while they all looked fantastic, there's really no question about who wore it best.
Come on, ladies. This is J.Lo we're talking about! Jenny from the Block knows how to turn heads, whether it's on the red carpet or casually strolling through the streets of NYC. She can rock a pair of jeans and Timberland boots with so much swag, and she can also look heavenly and classy in a custom-made gown on the Met Gala red carpet. From Emma Stone and Jennifer Aniston to even Gigi Hadid, here's a look at a few celebs who have been inspired by the pop icon's style!

Jennifer stunned in a hot pink tulle gown.
Jaws dropped when the actress showed up at the NYC premiere of her movie Second Act in December 2018 wearing this incredible neon pink tulle gown. She wore it with so much confidence, and the color and style made her look more youthful than ever. She also does such a great job with her glam and opted for a simple tight bun, knowing the dress was the center of attention.
It was only a matter of months before we saw a similar look.
Kendall Jenner arrived at an event in Cannes in May 2019 wearing a similar dress to the one J.Lo wore just months before! Sure, Kendall is a supermodel and decades younger than the singer and looked absolutely stunning in this pink dress—but no one ever does it quite like Jen.
Jen wore this while filming her movie 'Marry Me.'
She was spotted filming a scene for the romantic comedy in Manhattan, wearing a long-sleeve, form-fitting red dress with matching clear-and-red heels. She is the queen of monochromatic looks, but this one might be one of her best, even if it was just for a movie role.
Just a month or so later, Kim Kardashian wore a similar look.
We really love this look. The red dress paired with similar heels is making us think that Kim might be checking out all of Jen's outfits for inspiration. They're friends after all, and that's what friends do, right?
J.Lo gave the Canadian tuxedo a try.
This head-to-toe denim outfit might be completely different from J.Lo's usual style, but she rocked it so well. Her style is so versatile, she can go from wearing gowns to jeans and still look like a million bucks. Of course, after she wore this, it was expected for others to do the same, right?
Kim gave the look a try on a red carpet.
Obviously, it had to be Kim Kardashian to be the one who rocked the look after J.Lo. Jen wore it for a casual outing, while Kim opted to wear her denim look for the Ninth Annual WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards in NYC in November 2019. Kim looked great, and we wonder why this didn't turn into a trend?
Jennifer rocked this glam black sequin dress with a high slit designed by Versace.
She wore this look at her ex-husband Marc Anthony's performance in Radio City Music Hall in 2016. She was only onstage for a mere few minutes, but of course she was not going to show up in front of any crowd while looking anything less than perfect.
Jennifer Aniston wore the same dress as J.Lo at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Jennifer Aniston has such lovely and timeless style, and she has been just as influential as J.Lo when it comes to beauty and style and many other areas throughout her career. She has good taste just like the Boricua diva, and this stunning black dress is proof of that.
She stuns during her late night talk show appearances.
J.Lo modeled this silver Meshki dress during her appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden. Her figure looked incredible in this barely there sheer gown that fit her so beautifully. She looked flawless. Note that J.Lo wore this on May 4, 2017.
On May 10, Ariel Winter wore the same dress on 'Live With Jimmy Kimmel.'
The Modern Family star looks beautiful, too! There is no denying that, and just like J.Lo, she's got some major curves herself! The dress reportedly retails at $110, so we can all steal this look.
J.Lo hit the Grammy red carpet in a sexy lavender Ralph & Russo gown.
She was owning this look she wore to the Grammy Awards in 2017! This is so classy and elegant, and the color radiates youthfulness and femininity, two things J.Lo is known for. She spiced it up a bit with a sexy high-thigh slit that showed off her perfectly tanned and toned leg.
This dress looks familiar!
Actress Olivia Hamilton wore a purple dress to the academy Awards, and it looked almost exactly like J.Lo's look. This is also a pretty version, and we really like it. Those soft colors really bring out the beauty in the person wearing them.
This is an unusual dress.
We love this super-professional yet edgy look. In 2012, Jennifer showed off a pink-and-black snake dress on a press day. The short dress was designed by Lanvin, and Jen paired the color-block dress with some sky-high black heels.
That same year, Emma Stone wore the same dress at a 'W' magazine event.
The Oscar-winning actress has good taste! She wore the same exact dress the Hustlers actress wore to a magazine event, but the difference is clear. While the dress is still pretty, a good tailor would have helped the gorgeous Emma rock this dress a bit better.
J.Lo had all eyes on her.
We love how confident she looks no matter where she is or what she is wearing. J.Lo shined in a gold jumpsuit while attending Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2016. She looked absolutely stunning in it, but believe it or not, someone actually wore this look first.
Gigi Hadid rocked this look at the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards.
Well, these beauties both slay in the look. Gigi is one of the most famous supermodels around, and she is beloved in the fashion world by the world's greatest stylists and designers in the industry. We totally get why both her and J.Lo, who are fashion darlings, would be styled in the same look.
She looked amazing in this black dress.
This is one of her best looks ever! In April 2012, J.Lo wore this black dress by Catherine Malandrino when she was a judge on American Idol. It was chic and just the right amount of sexy so it could still be worn on a family-friendly television show.
Model Marisa Miller wore this same look.
The model wore the same dress, with sheer cutouts all throughout, but in blue at the 2013 ESPY Awards. We think they both look lovely, but this style screams J.Lo. We really love the royal blue version, though.
Her 'American Idol' looks were everything.
J.Lo killed it in a black-and-white minidress during American Idol in 2014. It's elegant yet sexy, and she paired it with a gorgeous pair of white pumps. It looks like this dress was meant for her, but someone else did rock it.
Jourdan Dunn attended the Elle Style Awards 2014.
She killed it, too! The supermodel attended the Elle Style Awards in 2014 wearing the same dress J.Lo wore on American Idol. Jourdan switched up the look a bit by pairing the long-sleeve minidress with black heels instead of Jen's choice of white pumps.
J.Lo modeled this bright Michael Kors gown on 'American Idol.'
Her looks on the show were so awesome to watch. This bright hot pink dress looked amazing on her, and this was definitely one of the most awesome times in her career as far as fashion goes. Every night on the show, she wore a stunning outfit that made us want to go shopping.
Brooklyn Decker wore this to the Met Gala.
In 2011, Brooklyn Decker wore the hot pink gown with a high slit to the Met Gala. It's so gorgeous and fun! It looks like Brooklyn wore this one first, but J.Lo owned it.
The Boricua star wore a black dress by L'Wren Scott in 2013.
J.Lo doesn't wear black often, but when she does, it's usually a fun look. This little black dress is so cute, and she paired it with white shoes. Someone also wore this look first!
Nicole Kidman wore the same dress.
The actress wore the same dress J.Lo wore at the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards. She gave the look a special twist with red pumps, which really livened up the look. They both opted for different-color shoes, instead of the usual black.
Olivia Munn tried to wear the same Balmain dress seen on J.Lo in an ad.
"I tried this dress on the other day and then saw @jlo wearing it in a magazine and thought 'Oh, THAT'S what it's supposed to look like,'" she joked. This is one of those typical moments most women have when shopping online. The expectation versus reality hurts sometimes. We feel your pain, girl.
Everyone remembers this iconic outfit from the 2000 VMAs.
The look has been re-created time and time again ever since. People have made this look a part of pop culture history, and many re-create the look year after year on Halloween, but no one rocks it quite like J.Lo did.
Khloé Kardashian gave the look a try years later.
Khloé wore this look that is similar or inspired by J.Lo, and it wasn't even Halloween. I'm not sure it panned out how she hoped it would, but we appreciate the effort.
J.Lo looked so fashionable in some thigh-high denim boots in the "Ain't Your Mama" music video.
She looked so fierce in these gorgeous belted denim boots that were part of Rihanna's limited edition shoe collection with Manolo Blahnik. Rih herself sent the boots to J.Lo with a note that read: "Because I know you're gonna wear them better than me!"
Rih gave the boots she helped design a shot.
Rih's style is something else! She paired the thigh-highs with denim shorts, a Princess Diana T-shirt, and an oversized leather jacket. Not bad, but Rih was humble enough to admit J.Lo would rock those boots.
Jen dazzled in this gold dress at the Golden Globes.
Jen wore the Marchesa gown in 2009 with her hair pulled all the way back, and she looked as beautiful as ever. We absolutely love how she rocked this dress, and the plunging neckline give it such a sexy edge!
Kim Kardashian re-created the look just two years later.
Kim wore a similar gold dress at the 2011 Grammy Awards. At least she styled her hair differently! Kim wore hers out in loose waves like she used to at the time and looked beautiful, but there's something about Jen's look that was a bit more glam and classic.
Jen looked classy and tasteful in this color-block Gucci dress.
Jen wore this black-and-green Gucci dress to the UNICEF Women of Compassion Luncheon in February 2011. She looked so radiant and pretty, and the color-block style was all the rave at the time.
Kim, again, wore a similar style but in different colors just months later.
For the launch her perfume in London in June 2011, Kim wore a similar Gucci dress but in purple and orange. The design looked a little more form-fitting on Kim than on J.Lo. The shoe choice is peculiar, but that was the style at the time.
This dress Jen wore is so elegant, and of course, someone else wore it after she did.
She wore the gorgeous dress when she graced the December 2017 cover of Vanity Fair alongside partner Alex Rodriguez. The dress fit her so incredibly well, especially around her curves, that it was a given that other famous ladies would try to re-create the look.
Priyanka Chopra wore the same exact dress!
The actress wore the dress in September 2018 to the 50th anniversary of Ralph Lauren, and she also posed alongside her beau, then-fiancé Nick Jonas. She looked super pretty in it, but J.Lo gave it that extra oomph.
