In a recent photoshoot for ELLE’s Women In Hollywood cover, 54-year-old Jennifer Lopez stunned in a bold, semi-sheer lace red dress. Embracing her age, she confidently expressed, “Women only get more alluring with time.”
She chose to don a dazzling gold lamé dress with a one-shoulder design when she graced the cover of the magazine alongside other talented actresses like Eva Longoria, Taraji P. Henson, and America Ferrera.
She expressed that there are now more opportunities for older women in various roles. According to her, there is a growing appreciation for the fact that women become more attractive as they age. They become wiser, more experienced, and develop a richer personality. This internal beauty and wisdom that comes with age are not only attractive physically but also resonate deeply.
![She continued: 'I see myself working [as long as] I want to. I don¿t know what that age is. It might be 70, it might be 80, it might be 90, I don¿t know'](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/11/30/14/78424463-12810039-image-a-12_1701353860573.jpg)
In a recent conversation, she expressed her intention to keep working for as long as she desires, without being limited by age. She emphasized the beauty and wisdom that come with aging, noting that the inner growth is just as appealing as the physical changes.
Her outlook on age and career is open-ended, with possibilities of working well into her 70s, 80s, or even 90s. She emphasized her determination to break free from any constraints based on her background, birthplace, or age, stating that she refuses to be confined by societal expectations.
In a stunning display, Jennifer appeared in a striking red leotard and a bold black gown during the shoot, exuding confidence and grace. Reflecting on her journey in Hollywood, she admitted to learning the importance of being selective in her choices, especially considering the limited opportunities she initially faced as a Latina actress. She now wishes she had been more discerning in her early career, focusing on collaborations with directors she truly admired and projects that resonated with her values.
In the interview, Jennifer confessed that looking back, she realizes she should have been more selective about the roles she accepted in Hollywood.
In one black and white photo, she appeared stunning in a gold one-shoulder metallic gown.
She finds it demeaning to assume that women are only interested in watching love stories or romantic comedies.
When it comes to creating projects that focus on women, she mentioned, “There have been pioneers laying the foundation for this movement for a while. It just takes time to break down old ideas and shift them towards meaningful change.”
Reflecting on her past work, she admitted, “I realize now that I should have been more selective. If I could go back, I would have prioritized understanding the director’s role in a project more when I was acting. Just like in music, the producers you collaborate with are crucial. I knew this in music, but I didn’t fully grasp it when I was younger in terms of working with directors.”
This trailblazer is determined to match the achievements of men, and nowadays, she is crafting her own narrative. Through her production company Nuyorican Productions, she has brought to life projects like Hustlers, The Mother on Netflix, and TV shows like The Fosters and Shades of Blue.
She expressed, “I aim to cover a wide range of stories, from uplifting and empowering tales to gritty gangster movies. I want to explore all genres and aspects of storytelling just like male creators do. I aspire to do it all.”
