Jennifer Lopez goes back to her ‘Puerto Rican Bronx’ hair bun after showing off NATURAL locks


Jennifer Lopez made the very rare move of showing off her natural, unstyled, short hair in Miami on Wednesday.

But the next day the 50-year-old Super Bowl performer was back to wearing her mane in a topknot that she has in the past called a classic ‘Puerto Rican Bronx’ hairstyle.

The Hustlers actress was walking alongside her fiance Alex Rodriguez whom she plans to wed this year in a big ceremony.

Her highlighted tendrils were pulled up into a mess topknot as she wore large gold hoop earrings and a mirrored aviator sunglasses.

J-Lo also wore an oversized white turtleneck with the same camouflage leggings she had on the day before, only these had a green tone and not a brown one.

And the movie staple – whose next film is Marry Me with Owen Wilson – had on white sneakers that appeared right out of the box.

Alex was in all black with white tennis shoes that had a black bar over the front.

On Wednesday the Dinero singer made the rare move of stepping out with her natural hair which is short, a bit frizzy and highlighted. 

Her hairstylist Chris Appleton must have been busy.

She also looked paler than normal as she seemed to ditch her usual spray tan – J-Lo is almost always bronzed to perfection when on the red carpet.

The mother-of-two let her unstyled and reddish locks flap in the wind as she walked.

There was a hair tie on her wrist suggesting her hair may have been up earlier in the day. 

Also gone was her deeply bronzed skin which she always has on the red carpet. Instead, her skin looked pale.

The former Fly Girl had on mirrored aviator sunglasses as well as matching medium-sized hoop earrings.

Her crop top was black with a hoodie and she added high-waisted camouflage leggings with white sneakers.

She also carried a black crystal cup from Guess and her cell phone while flashing her gold nails. 

Later, Jenny From The Block still had her hair down and in a messy style when she was at a studio with a microphone in hand. A man was at the piano walking her through a song.

The Instagram caption read, ‘Back in the studio, workin’ on my skills.’ caption read, ‘Back in the studio, workin’ on my skills.’

The ex-fiance of Ben Affleck added a heart, musical note and microphone emoji. 

Lopez is constantly changing her hair styles more than any other star out there as she goes between bob hairdos to very long hair that reaches her bottom.

And yet the ex of Marc Anthony rarely comments on her use of hair extensions or wigs. 

For her Super Bowl performance on February 2 with Shakira, the star wore long, full hair with lush curls.

Six days later on February 8, her hair was short for the Independent Spirit Awards.

Then it was long again for an Oscar party. The hair fell down to her chest as she wore a plunging gunmetal grey dress.

Jennifer does often go out in public without extensions, but when she does, it is pulled up in a tight topknot. 

Lopez told People she feels sexiest ‘when my hair is curly and I’m a little bit tan.’

And the star said that her style came from her hometown.

‘Everything about growing up in the Bronx influenced me and is still with me today,’ she said, adding, ‘I’m still a ponytail, bun-on-top-of-your-head girl, which is all very Puerto Rican Bronx.’ 

Though she does not talk often about using extensions, it is undeniable that she does.

At the Latin Billboard Awards in 2018 the star wore 50 inch long extensions that went past her bottom.

The Shades Of Blue actress often uses Appleton but has also worked with Lorenzo Martin, Ken Paves and Oribe.
