Triple threat Jennifer Lopez isn’t just one of the most talented stars in the game — she’s also a style icon. Her signature look has changed over the years, the different eras of her style journey often coinciding with the milestones and projects in her career. But she’s been around for long enough now that fans can instantly conjure an image when they think of J.Lo, and it isn’t with short hair. Rather, Jennifer Lopez is all about stunning Met Gala looks we’ll never forget, head-to-toe glamour, and long, honey-blond tresses gently riding the currents of her wind machine. So, when she swapped her Rapunzel mane for a pixie in the teaser for her 2025 film “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” fans understandably had to do a double take.

Lopez has never publicly come out and said that she wears hair extensions, so it’s difficult to tell for sure when she’s wearing them and when she’s not, especially as her hair has frequently been long in recent years. The only proof is in the sudden changes in length and style. For example, in April 2025, she had curtain bangs, which were notably missing from her American Music Awards look the next month, where she instead rocked a gorgeous and impossibly thick pony. But whether she’s sporting a super-bouncy pony, long and sleek strands, or even her natural curls, we rarely see her with length above the shoulders, let alone a crop that gives us inspo to go get a punk pixie cut. In January 2025, she did flaunt a slightly shorter shoulder-grazing style, but it still didn’t prepare us for her dramatically different look in the trailer, which was released in June. Clearly, the “Dance Again” singer is one of the celebs who look totally different without hair extensions.
