All The Times Jennifer Lopez Has Stunned On The Red Carpet

Breakthrough role

In 1997, Jennifer got her breakthrough role playing Selena Quintanilla-Pérez in the biopic titled Selena. For her portrayal of the Texan-native turned Latin artist, Jennifer earned critical acclaim and this catapulted her career. Jennifer was a singer before getting this role and due to many singers who didn’t transition well into acting, people were skeptical.

However, once the movie came out, everyone who doubted Lopez was proved wrong and they realized she really could act and she earned a Golden Globe nomination for the film.
