Jennifer Lopez has never been afraid to make a bold statement on the red carpet

Jennifer Lopez has been known to wear the heck out of a sweatshirt and a pair of leggings, so it’s no surprise that when it comes to glamorous events, the style star doesn’t hold back. Lopez has been making us audibly gasp with her red carpet looks since at least 1997 (and definitely since 2000, when her infamous green Versace gown first made an appearance at the Grammys), and there’s rarely a moment when we aren’t impressed or envious about what she’s wearing.

The Mother actress has so much red carpet fashion to crush that it actually takes two stylists — Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn — to keep up with her needs. The duo (known by their Insta handle #RandM) have been by Lopez’s side since 2010 and have a hand in everything she wears, from music videos and stage performances to the Oscars and Met Gala, and everything (read: a lot) in between.

Their guiding light along the way? Defining Lopez’s style as iconic, sexy, and timeless, in addition to sticking to one rule: “At the end of the day, the best dress always wins,” Haenn told British Vogue in 2021. Lopez long ago solidified her title as ruler of the red carpet, whether she was wearing silver, animal print, or a sexy naked dress, so it seems like #RandM’s rule is one to live by.
