Jennifer Lopez has opened up about challenging accepted beauty standards by showing off her own curves in a candid new interview.
Per The Daily Mail, the 51-year-old former Fly Girl spoke about the importance of body positivity in an interview with Allure magazine for their latest cover, in which she can be seen sporting a close-cropped hairstyle.
In the interview in question, J-Lo spoke about how much standards have beauty have changed over the last three decades, with more and more women desiring a voluptuous body type instead of a skinny one.
J-Lo certainly isn't shy about her body, and back in November she stripped to promote her latest single:Per The Mail, looked back at the change of perceptions and stated:
"When I came on the scene, it was kind of the time of the waif and everybody had to be stick thin. It was like: 'Well, you’re not. How do you feel?' I'm like: 'I feel great about it!'"
The interview also touched on a variety of subjects pertinent to Lopez's home life, including her marriage to former shortstop Alex Rodriguez, and life in lockdown during the COVID outbreak.
Lopez stated: "We got to work on ourselves. We did therapy. I think it was really helpful for us in our relationship.
"[Our wedding] was a big deal. We had been planning for months and months and months, and it was overseas."
"I do sit on the couch and eat potato chips! The thing is not to get too used to it, because it’s so easy and so fun."
It's fair to say that 2021 has been a big year for Lopez already, especially after she made an appearance at Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony on Wednesday, January 20.
After performing Woody Guthrie's 'This Land is Your Land' and 'America the Beautiful' to an audience of thousands, she even took to the stage to deliver a message in Spanish.
The patriotic Lopez stated: "Una nación bajo Dios, indivisible, con libertad y justicia para todos," which translated means: "One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
