Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham step out for “Parker” premiere

Jennifer Lopez Jason Statham_1

Looking lovely in Lanvin, Jennifer Lopez hit the red carpet with co-star Jason Statham at the Film District with The Cinema Society, L’Oreal Paris & Appleton Estate screening of their new film Parker at the Museum of Modern Art on January 23, 2013 in New York City. Joining them for the celebration was director Taylor Hackford and co-star Patti LuPone.

In the crime thriller Statham stars as Parker, a professional thief who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don’t steal from people who can’t afford it and don’t hurt people who don’t deserve it. But on his latest heist, his crew double crosses him, steals his stash, and leaves him for dead. Determined to make sure they regret it, Parker tracks them to Palm Beach, playground of the rich and famous, where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever.

Donning the disguise of a rich Texan, Parker takes on an unlikely partner, Leslie (Lopez), a savvy insider who’s short on cash but big on looks, smarts and ambition. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the score, take everyone down and get away clean.

Parker opens in theaters on January 25th, 2012.

Jennifer Lopez strikes a stylish pose at Chanel with daughter Emme!

Latina superstar Jennifer Lopez is making her appearance at Paris Fashion Week known! The 43-year-old stunner was photographed at the Chanel Womenswear Spring / Summer 2013 show at the Grand Palais on Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012 in Paris, France.  Joining her front row for fashionable fun was four-year-old Emme Maribel Muniz, her daughter with ex-husband Marc Anthony. JLo’s current squeeze Casper Smart was also in attendance.

I’m loving how so many celebrities are making fashion shows a family affair!  Recent pairings spotted at various fashion shows include Victoria Beckham and daughter Harper, stylist June Ambrose and her 7-year-old mini-me daughter Summer Chamblin who were a staple at New York Fashion Week, Salma Hayek and daughter Valentina Pinault and Katie Holmes who is rarely ever seen without 6-year-old Suri Cruise.

Jennifer kept her look classic in head-to-toe Chanel with a minimum amount of make-up and her hair swept up into a bun.  She kept her cleavage at bay before entering the show with a cropped black jacket.  I’m in love with the mini-lace dress, sexy pumps, and signature Chanel bag!  This is definitely a case of where less-is-more really worked perfectly!

Don’t even get me started on little Emme’s adorable ensemble!  Work it girls!

Jennifer Lopez is red hot on Vogue Magazine’s April cover

Jennifer Lopez is, no doubt, used to making jaws drop but her latest cover for Vogue Magazine’s April issue has gone far beyond that. The 42-year-old Latina smolders in their special “Shape Issue” in a Bottega Veneta gown from their Spring 2012 collection, according to a member of The Fashion Spot with a keen eye for fashion.

So far the only details we know about the shoot is that the images were shot by famed fashion photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. Vogue has yet to release further fabulous details, but in the meanwhile we can drool over this stunning cover!

It’s been a pretty crazy time for Ms. Lopez after the demise of her marriage to salsa singer Marc Anthony, but things seem to be on the up-and-up for the sexy Nuyorican. Not only has she found love again with dancer Casper Smart, but she holds a coveted judges seat on American Idol, and has unveiled a new clothing and accessories line at Kohl’s that I love!

I was watching re-runs of In Living Color over the weekend and watched JLo work it on the dance floor as a Fly Girl. It’s amazing just how far Jennifer has come.

You go chica!

Steal My Look Beauty Edition: Jennifer Lopez at the Oscars

If there is one person you can expect to leave an impression on the red carpet, it’s Jennifer Lopez! The L’Oreal Paris spokesperson wore a custom made Zuhair Murad gown that hugged her body perfectly at the 84th Annual Academy Awards held at the Hollywood & Highland Center on February 26, 2012.

Her hair and make-up looked flawless thanks to Celebrity Hairstylist Lorenzo Martin and Celebrity Makeup Artist Mary Phillips! Do you want to recreate this sultry-yet-sophisticated look for your next event? I have all the details about what products and techniques were used courtesy of L’Oreal!

Inspiration: Jennifer’s elegant up-do and glowing skin and makeup were inspired by the late 1960’s. Celebrity Hairstylist Lorenzo Martin kept her hairstyle simple and chic by creating a chignon bun placed high on the head. Jennifer’s makeup was also kept simple and chic – dewy skin with a dramatic winged cat eye – by Celebrity Makeup Artist Mary Phillips. A gorgeous gold and red-tipped nail was the final touch in Jennifer’s “Faye Dunaway”-inspired head-to-toe Oscars look.

Celebrity Hair Stylist: Lorenzo Martin
Inspirational Quote: “The look I created for Jennifer was inspired by the 60′s. I wanted a gorgeous hairstyle that defined the graceful refined sophistication of that time to complement Jennifer’s beautiful dress.”

Product Checklist:

L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Volume Root Lifting Spray ($6.99)
L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Strong Hold Defining Gel ($6.99)
L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Smooth & Shine Serum ($6.99)
L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Unscented Hairspray ($14.99)

Step by Step How-To:
* First, Lorenzo sprayed L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Volume Root Lifting Spray at the roots of Jennifer’s clean, damp hair to add extra volume before blow-drying it with a round medium-sized boar bristle brush.

*After Jennifer’s hair was completely dry, Lorenzo distributed a dime-sized amount of L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Strong Hold Defining Gel evenly throughout her hair.

* Next, he pulled her hair into a high ponytail, securing it with a metal-free elastic rubber band.

* From there, Lorenzo split the ponytail into four different sections and teased each one. Once all four pieces were teased, he sprayed her hair with L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Unscented Hairspray.

* Next, Lorenzo took one of the four sections and looped the piece into the ponytail, securing it into place with bobby pins. He followed this step with the three other sections of hair – pinning each one in different directions (front, back and side to side) to create a complete bun.

* To ensure there were no loose hairs or flyways and to maintain a sleek look, he added a bit of L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Smooth & Shine Serum.

*Lastly, to finish off this effortless yet elegant style, he used L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Unscented Hairspray lightly around all the hair.

Celebrity Manicurist: Tom Bachik

Inspirational Quote: “Jennifer Lopez’s Oscar’s look was all about 60’s glamour with a modern interpretation … so it was important her nail look matched this overall feel and aesthetic. Jennifer loved the delicate shade of ‘Because You’re Worth It’ – we were excited to try something a bit more modern for the red carpet and create a nail look that could transition throughout the night, as she has a couple of wardrobe changes. We drew inspiration for Jennifer’s nail look from not only her red carpet gown, but also her makeup.”

Product Checklist:

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Polish in “Because You’re Worth It” – #580 in the “Iconic Muse” collection ($5.99)

Step by Step How-To:
First, Tom shaped her nails into a classic almond shape, but gave them a slight unexpected point at the tip for a modern take.
He then painted a sheer coat of L’Oreal Paris’ Colour Riche Nail Polish in “Because You’re Worth It” (a gorgeous warm, champagne gold shade – #580) before gilding the tips of her nails (in a V shape) in Colour Riche Nail Polish in Haute Couture Red (#470) – a vampy, burgundy wine hue.

Jennifer Lopez keeps it pretty in Pasadena

Temperatures may be dropping but that won’t keep Jennifer Lopez from looking all kinds of fabulous! The 42-year-old, mommy-of-two looked stunning as she made her arrival into the Civic Center in Pasadena, California on Tuesday, December 13th, 2011.

Joining J-Lo were American Idol co-judges Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler during what is rumored to be a taping of the Hollywood Week countdown where contestants who survive will then travel onto the next round.

Jenny from the Block looked absolutely gorgeous in a pair of wide leg, ivory pants, a mustard, knee-length coat and animal print clutch.  She even added a pair of  black sunglasses to her ensemble, as if that was going to deter photographers from knowing who she was!!  She finished off her look with a pair of platform high heels in black and gold.

Love it!

No matter what the outcome might be on the ultra popular, reality competition show, you can bet that Miss Jennifer will always look stunning!

Jennifer Lopez makes beautiful music with Harman Kardon

When Jennifer Lopez is not hanging out on the beach with her new toy boy Caspar Smart, she is making beautiful music with Harman Kardon!

HARMAN International Industries announced today that the international superstar will star in a new brand campaign with the company’s iconic Harman Kardon audio brand. Ms. Lopez will be featured within the major global advertising campaign “Beautiful Sound” for Harman Kardon.

I’ve no idea how this mother-of-two finds the time to promote EVERYTHING that she signs up for (Fiat, L’Oreal, Venus, Kohl’s amongst other things!) and still finds time to do American Idol and remain absolutely fabulous at the same time but somehow she manages!

“We have found a perfect fit in megastar Jennifer Lopez to be a global ambassador for Harman Kardon’s Beautiful Sound message,” said Dinesh C. Paliwal, Chairman, President and CEO of HARMAN. “She personifies beauty, elegance, and style, and consistently delivers outstanding musical performances. The Harman Kardon name is synonymous with incredible sound and attractive design, and we are delighted that Ms. Lopez will help us share that message.”

In the first ad for Beautiful Sound – directed by filmmaker Martin Campbell, best known for his work on the James Bond thriller Casino Royale – Ms. Lopez introduces the Harman Kardon BDS audio/video home entertainment system with 3D Blu-ray.

Check out the ad below which premieres in Europe today! Work it girl!
