5 Jennifer Lopez Looks That Show Off Her Killer Legs
Aside from her impressive acting chops and dance floor hits, Jennifer Lopez is probably best known for staying incredibly fit into her 40s and 50s. The multi-hyphenate has kept her body incredibly strong over the decades, especially those killer legs. There's little doubt she's worked hard to stay muscular, though. Lopez once shared an impressive Instagram video showing her doing 270-pound leg presses. Her trainer and life coach, Dodd Romero, gave further insight into her workouts in 2019, telling Us Weekly her gym sessions include lunges, sumo squats, leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, hip thrusts, and calf raises — many including weights.
After putting in all that effort, we can't blame the "Let's Get Loud" hitmaker for showing off the results. JLo has turned heads over the years in some of the sexiest red carpet looks of all time, including sizzling outfits that put her legs on full display.
JLo's 2021 VMAs look showed her legs from hip to toe
Jennifer Lopez proved her muscular legs are no illusion on the VMAs stage in 2021. The beauty revealed every inch of her gams in an embellished, skin-baring skirt, which featured two corset-style fastenings over her thighs. She paired the hip-hugging skirt with clear heels that made her legs look extra-long.
Lopez kept her arms covered to keep the ensemble balanced. She sported a black, lace-up crop top that elongated her whole body, coupled with a high waistline that showed just a sliver of skin. Our jaws? "On The Floor."
Jennifer Lopez's white short shorts flaunted her work in the gym
Jennifer Lopez kicked off her 2012 world tour with a party in Las Vegas where she wore super short, white shorts that perfectly showcased her toned legs. The length of the shorts shifted attention to her bottom half, while the crochet edge matched her summery top for a light outfit perfect for the Sin City sun.
The beauty paired the two-piece with stylish, sky-high wedges, which are known for making legs look longer. The snakeskin effect pair came with a nude ribbon tied around her ankles. The tie gave her more stability while the color blended with her skin tone perfectly. Ankle strap shoes can make calves look shorter, but since the shade was barely visible, it gave her the practicality of a strap without the unflattering effects.
Her miniskirt and platforms combo highlighted her legs
In October 2024, Jennifer Lopez stepped out for an "Unstoppable" photo call in an ensemble that put all the focus on her legs. By combining a white top and oversized white jacket with a barely-there mini skirt, she drew our eyes down to her ultra-sculpted gams. Lopez abided by the classic fashion rule of showing either cleavage or legs (though it's okay to do both on the right occasion if it makes you feel confident), which kept the ensemble balanced.
Opting for nude platforms also helped put attention on her legs, as the neutral shade didn't steal focus and made them look longer. Stilettos and platforms can be incredibly flattering, helping muscles appear more prominent — not that this star needed much help there. Lopez strategically posed with her right knee bent and slightly pushed out, allowing us to see her muscular calves and thighs.
Her silver sequin mini couldn't blind us to her gams
In 2018, Jennifer Lopez put her lower limbs on full display once again in a shiny silver mini dress for the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Lopez showed us how gold and silver can look great with olive-toned skin, as the all-over-sequin number made her flawless skin glow.
But even the glitter of her outfit couldn't distract us from her legs, which looked as toned as ever. Her metallic shoes (which were trending at the time) perfectly matched her dress, while the height and glamorous shine proved Lopez knows how to nail a trend while staying true to herself. Lopez kept her top half more covered to let her bottom half do all the talking, but stayed true to her skin-baring mantra with cut-outs at the waist and an extra short hemline.
Jennifer Lopez's pins were pretty in a pink mini dress
Jennifer Lopez floored us again in 2024 when she showcased her well-defined legs in a fun and feminine mini dress to launch her lingerie collection. The sequin pink number framed her bottom half in a stunning way. The high hemline displayed the results of her workouts, and the low slung matching pink heels made her toned thighs and calves appear lengthened.
Knowing her pins were the star of the show, Lopez also ensured she had her pose down. She crossed her ankles and put her shoulders back, which can be flattering in photos when you're wearing shorter dresses, skirts, or shorts. JLo's legs? Yeah, we "Can't Get Enough."
