Jennifer Lopez’s clothes tell a story. This is, after all, a woman who hasn’t just broken the internet; she birthed it (sort of; more on that later). From the streets of the Bronx to Hollywood’s biggest stages, she has helped redefine what a global icon can look like.

In an industry that prized thinness and whiteness, her look carried a self-possession that ran counter to the era’s dominant aesthetic.
