J-Lo makes a stand for, er, women’s rights
WHAT’S a Hollywood star to wear when she wants to talk about female empowerment? If you’re Jennifer Lopez, the answer seems to be – not much.
The 49-year- old singer and actress has posed in nothing but an emerald green sequined cloak and high heels for a magazine photoshoot.
In an accompanying interview she speaks out about the double standards which persist in the showbusiness industry.
‘It has taken time, but I think we’re in a very powerful moment where women are going, “Wait a minute. We’re not afraid to say what we deserve”,’ she tells InStyle.
Miss Lopez, who regularly shows off her gym-honed physique on social media, poses with her hand on her famous derriere for the photoshoot, which appears in the magazine’s December issue.
She was born into a Puerto Rican family in new York and was once nicknamed La Guitarra because of her figure. In the magazine interview, she also spoke about her body image, saying: ‘In my family, curves were glorified and part of the culture. It was just like, “Jennifer has a big butt, and it’s good”.’
The actress, who has been married three times, has twins Emme and Max, ten, with her former husband, singer Marc Anthony. She is currently dating former baseball star Alex Rodriguez, 43, who has daughters natasha, 13, and Ella, nine, with his ex-wife.
