Talk about fully committing to a role! Jennifer Lopez, at 56 years old, is diving deep into character for her upcoming movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman. Her latest look for the film set has left fans doing a double-take, and it’s easy to see why.
J.Lo recently gave fans a peek behind the scenes. On Monday, September 15, she posted some striking photos on Instagram. Her hair was a bright platinum blonde, styled with a cool retro vibe. This new appearance quickly had people thinking of someone else: Gwen Stefani.
"I thought it was Gwen Stefani at first glance!" one fan wrote in the comments. Another quickly added, "OMG, I thought it was Gwen." A third person playfully asked, "What kind of Gwen Stefani is this?" Someone else commented, "For a second, I truly thought you were Gwen Stefani." The resemblance was uncanny for many.
In one selfie, which her styling team snapped, J.Lo truly shined. Her ice-blonde hair was curled and swept up into a classic pin-up style. A soft pink headband tied neatly on top finished the look.
She wore a fluffy robe, posing confidently in her dressing room. Her makeup was just as striking: flawless matte skin, sharp eyeliner, big lashes, and bright red lips with a matching manicure. It truly seemed like Lopez was channeling Stefani’s iconic Love. Angel. Music. Baby. era. That was the singer’s hugely popular first solo album from 2004, featuring smash hits like "Hollaback Girl" and "Luxurious."
J.Lo herself shared her feelings about the transformation on Instagram. "Becoming Aurora felt like dancing through the golden age of cinema," she wrote. "It was all about the sparkle, the glamour, and tons of dancing. Traveling back in time has never been so much fun."
The movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman, is a musical thriller. It’s based on the popular Broadway hit from 1993 and directed by Bill Condon. Lopez plays the character Ingrid Luna, who is also known as Aurora or the Spider Woman.
The official story description tells us about Valentín (Luna), a political prisoner. He ends up sharing a cell with Molina (Tonatiuh), a window dresser jailed for public indecency. The two somehow form an unexpected bond. Molina entertains Valentín by telling him the story of a Hollywood musical. His favorite movie star, Ingrid Luna (Lopez), is the diva at its center.
Mark your calendars! Kiss of the Spider Woman will arrive in theaters on October 10.
