Jennifer Lopez looks unrecognisable in new film
Fans are in a frenzy after a Hollywood superstar debuted a brand new platinum blonde look in a trailer for an upcoming film.
Jennifer Lopez has left fans stunned after debuting a striking new look – and many are saying they barely recognised her.
The 55-year-old singer and actress shared a first look at her most theatrical role yet, starring as Ingrid Luna in Kiss of the Spider Woman, a new film adaptation of the 1993 Broadway classic.
In the just-released trailer, Lopez is seen in two contrasting, era-defining looks – first appearing as a near-platinum blonde paired with a bold red lip and later with a sharply cut bob and spiky fringe.
Hailed as, “The role Jennifer Lopez was born to play,” the Jenny From the Block singer’s looks are a far cry from her usual red carpet aesthetic.
Set in Argentina in 1981, Kiss of the Spider Woman focuses on Luis Molina, a gay hairdresser who is imprisoned because of his sexuality. While in captivity, Molina fantasies about a glamorous siren named Ingrid Luna (Lopez) as he tries to escape his current reality.
While the storyline is set against a backdrop of dictatorship and oppression, it unfolds largely through stylised fantasy – giving Lopez the chance to fully embody her love of glitz and glamour.
Naturally, fans couldn’t contain themselves over the star’s bold transformation.
“OMG. I didn’t even recognise her, she looks amazing!,” said one eager viewer.
“JLo deserves her Oscar,” said another.
“They could never make me hate you, JLo,” praised a third.
Lopez and her ex-husband Ben Affleck made headlines earlier this year while finalising their highly-publicised divorce after less than two years of marriage.

In an interview with Nikki Glaser last October, the singer revealed she was looking to find happiness within herself now.
“Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I used to say I’m a happy person, but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill.”
Kiss of the Spider Woman will be in theatres October 10.
