There is a reason we've been in awe of J.Lo's style since the beginning. We're convinced she can pull off absolutely anything, and looks just as comfortable and effortless in a formal gown as she does in a daring, up-to-there cut. Her style has certainly adapted to the times, but the quintessential J.Lo look that we've come to know and love dates back to her very first red carpets. Go forth and see for yourself.
