Jennifer Lopez posted a series of platinum-blond selfies to Instagram that prompted numerous fans to say she resembled fellow singer Gwen Stefani.
On Monday, the 56-year-old actress and singer shared photos from the set of Bill Condon’s forthcoming musical thriller Kiss of the Spider Woman in which she appears in old Hollywood–style glam as her character, Aurora. The images show Lopez wearing a pale-pink headband and a high, curly ponytail wig, bold red lipstick, matching acrylic nails and neutral eyeshadow and blush while wearing a pink robe in mirror selfies.
Lopez captioned the photos, "Stepping into the role of Aurora felt like dancing through the golden age of cinema … with all the glitz, glamour, and a whole lot of dancing. Stepping back into time has never been so much fun. ✨" One snap shows her posed in a bathtub while glancing over dress sketches, suggesting wardrobe and production preparations for the film.
Several Instagram users reacted by comparing her look to that of Gwen Stefani, who is known for her platinum-blond hair and red lipstick. "I thought this was Gwen Stefani at first!" one commenter wrote; others replied "saaaame!" and "What in the Gwen Stefani is this?" Singer Natasha Bedingfield also commented, writing, "Omg you look like @gwenstefani. Love you sis."
Kiss of the Spider Woman is directed by Bill Condon and set in 1983. Lopez stars opposite Diego Luna; the film is scheduled for release Oct. 10. The project has drawn attention for its period styling and dance sequences, and Lopez’s recent behind-the-scenes images offer an early look at the production’s aesthetic choices.
Social media comparisons between celebrities over shared styling elements are common; in this instance, observers highlighted the similarities between Lopez’s on-set hairstyling and Stefani’s longstanding public image. Lopez’s post emphasized the performative and cinematic intent behind the look as part of her preparation for the role rather than a permanent change in her personal style.
Lopez has previously drawn attention for transformative roles and high-profile music and film work. The Oct. 10 release will be one of her latest major screen appearances, and the recent Instagram post offered fans a glimpse of the film’s costume and hair direction while prompting public conversation about celebrity image and resemblance.
