seems like jennifer lawrence is going to have a stellar career but how is she faring on the style department?

personally, i'm not a big fan of her oscar de la renta outfit. it just does not sit well with my gut though many have raved over that look. nevertheless, jennifer lawrence is riding high on the list of best dressed actresses and the 'to-watch'. probably because she has been keeping her outfits simple and clean-cut. no fanciful designs or over the top prints. she exudes a sense of 'no-frills' elegance.

fash'on... BAM!

i am jennifer lopez

the main inspiration for this week is actually a concert invite that i received from clarence. yup, i'm heading to the concert with him! i can't wait to party the night away but before we experience the magic of jennifer lopez the performer, let's take a closer look at the person and her empire.

Jennifer Lopez

jennifer lynn muñiz (née lopez; born july 24, 1969) is an american entertainer. listed as the most influential hispanic performer in the united states, lopez is one of the highest paid actresses in hollywood and is the highest paid actor of latin descent, making up to us$15 million per film role. lopez has sold over 11.8 million albums in the united states and over 70 million records worldwide. she became interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry following her small role in the 1986 film 'my little girl', to the dismay of her puerto rican parents, who believed that it was an unrealistic career route for a latino. following a move from the bronx to manhattan, lopez performed in regional stage productions, before touring with musicals in europe and japan. she gained her first regular high-profile job as a fly girl dancer on the television comedy program 'in living color' in 1991, where she remained a regular cast member until 1993 when she decided to pursue a full-time acting career.

as for her fashion, j lo's most memorable and probably talked about look would have to be the plunging exotic green versace silk chiffon dress to the 42nd grammy awards ceremony on february 23, 2000.

Jennifer Lopez in Versace

in a poll published in the daily telegraph, the dress was voted the fifth most iconic dress of all time. it has been cited along with the elizabeth hurley's black versace dress as one of the top dresses that made versace a household name and the turning point in designer donatella versace's career after the death of her brother, gianni versace. the dress is currently on display at the grammy museum in los angeles.

other than the green versace dress, here are some of my favourite jennifer lopez looks on the red carpet.

i get her long, flowy gowns but my favourite would be her emilio pucci dress from the 2011 grammy awards though she would probably be stoned if she wore the dress to other award ceremonies. if i can use an imagery, the look is like a diamond in the process of being polished. there is a certain edge and roughness to the look yet in the same vein, it exudes the radiance of the gem.

not every look is a winner though. here are a couple of looks that did not sit so well with me.

like they always say, even stars have their off days.

fash'on... BAM!
