Jennifer Lopez Owns Allure Magazine's Drop-Dead 30th Anniversary Covers

American talent and style icon Jennifer Lopez makes a spellbinding, modern glamazon impression on the cover of Allure Magazine’s 30th anniversary March issue. Lopez owns the cover, sporting a new pixie cut by long-time hairstylist Chris Appleton. who describes J.Lo’s shearing as a “90s-inspired wet look crop”.

Only a truly fierce lioness with an overabundance of self-confidence and a lifetime of self-discipline could pull off this visual coup approaching age 52. I’m not impartial about the photoshoot, because I know photographer Daniella Midenge and — trust me — these spectacular images are the result of Daniella “understanding” Lopez. There’s some serious cosmic energy exchange going on between the two women, and the result is an Allure Jennifer Lopez beauty bonanza.

I told Daniella yesterday that people who hate everything — people who deserve a total smackdown for constant negativity — are raving about these images.

Between J Lo’s new hair and Daniella’s pics, it was if lightening struck in the middle of Trump’s second impeachment trial in COVID-world. Frankly we need an adrenaline shot; and these two modern goddesses delivered. / Styling by Nicola Formichetti; makeup by Mary Phillips; set design by Evan Jourden

Danielle Pergament interviews J. Lo in Jennifer Lopez: The Glory and the Dream (and the Drive). Much of the interview is devoted to the star’s famous state of perpetual overdrive. J. Lo defines the concept of an over-achiever.

There’s plenty of energy in the later-date interview as well. Pergament sets up a discussion about where the world is at, writing:

For all the horrors of 2020, it also brought some profound moments of beauty — snapshots of selflessness and love, engagement, and compassion. When tragedy came to the foreground over and over again, so did our humanity. The Earth stopped vibrating with traffic and the air cleared. Entire cities stood in applause at 7 p.m. And when justice was suffocated to death, we Sharpie’d words from the United States Constitution onto pieces of corrugated cardboard, took to the streets, and marched for righteousness.

Tossing the ball to Lopez, she says:

“We can’t just keep living our lives and thinking everything’s going to work itself out,” Lopez says. “No, it’s not going to work out. We have to get involved. We have to make changes. That was why 2020, as difficult and scary as it was, was so necessary. . . “
