Her campaign featured a striking nude photo and a close-up shot highlighting one of her most famous assets—her botty. The beauty brand took to Instagram, declaring they were “elevating body confidence with #JLoBody.” They emphasized their focus on enhancing user perception and boosting confidence through their products.
JLo further captivated her massive Instagram following of over 200 million with a behind-the-scenes video from the campaign. She shared her vision for the new product, explaining that while people often care for their facial skin, the body sometimes gets overlooked.
The New York native further explained she wanted to create a skincare routine tailored specifically to the body’s unique needs, starting with the booty. For her 53rd birthday, she even treated her fans to a special launch of #JLoBody FIRM + FLAUNT™ Targeted Booty Balm.
JLo’s daring nude photo campaign made a splash far beyond the internet, gracing the billboards of Times Square. Photographer Daniella Midenge even documented her visits to the exact spots where JLo’s striking images were displayed, capturing the greatness of the campaign.
In a 2022 interview, JLo shared her perspective on beauty and aging. She expressed that her personal mantra, “Beauty has no expiration date,” reflects her stance in an industry that often idolizes youth and marginalizes older women.
She admired icons like Diana Ross and Tina Turner, who, in their 50s, continued to radiate beauty and confidence, proving that age is no barrier to glamour.
The “Second Act” actress also voiced her frustration with the common compliment that qualifies beauty by age, like “You look good for 40” or “You look good for 50.” She advocates for a more straightforward approach: simply telling someone they look good.
The singer also opened up about how her husband, Ben Affleck, has a deep appreciation for her natural beauty. She noted that he often tells her he prefers to see her without makeup or hair, just as she is.
JLo mentioned that this genuine admiration from Ben boosts her confidence and makes her feel truly beautiful. Embracing her age with pride and joy, JLo said she feels like she’s only at the halftime of her life, ready for the exciting chapters ahead.
As for her 55th birthday, JLo celebrated in her signature style. Instead of a nude photo, she wowed her fans with a sultry shot of herself in a plunging white swimsuit, accompanied by the caption, “This Is Me…Now 🎂.”
The post garnered praise from fans with one calling her a “GODDESS.” True to form, the singer slayed her 55th birthday celebration with elegance and flair.
