When it comes to style, Jennifer Lopez knows how to make a statement.

Her looks are so iconic they’re seared into our memory, and we may have even tried replicating them with lesser success. But, hey, at least we tried!
Here’s J.Lo’s 25 most iconic looks!

20. Her Mini, Baby Pink Marchesa Frock

19. This Gold Marchesa Gown With Plunging Neckline

This 2009 Golden Globes look could easily be way too much for a mere mortal to rock, but Lopez is a goddess.
18. The Sparkly Cream Mini And Head Scarf At the VMAs
Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty ImagesThis is a lot of look, and most people couldn’t handle even just one element of this outfit. And yet, J.Lo hits that red carpet doing all three, handing out a smoldering look to the cameras. It’s got that ’70s glam she loves too!
16. Bright Yellow Giambattista Valli Haute Couture at the 2016 Golden Globes

15. Black Lace Dolce & Gabbana At An NYC Fashion Event
Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImageYou can always tell when Lopez caught “Valley of the Dolls” playing late night on TV. This look has evil ’60s doña written all over it and I AM HERE FOR IT. It’s so dramatic and kind of silly, but so, so good.
14. In Dark Green Pucci Dress She Wore to the BAFTA’s in 2011

13. In White Zuhair Murad at the Golden Globes
Photo by George Pimentel/WireImageThis dress could have easily been a total jealous bridesmaid trying to steal the brides thunder type of look. And it might be just a little bit. But on Lopez, she just makes it shine, and stand out on its own.
12. The Nude Elie Saab Princess Gown At The 2015 Oscars

11. The Pink Versace Mermaid Gown

The hair was…questionable. Even J.Lo misses the mark sometimes, but reminds us that the prettiest dress can’t hide some truly un-cute hair. But there’s no disputing Jenny’s got serious moves!

8. Frothy Pink Armani Privé in 2010

7. Shiny Zuhair Murad in 2012
