Jennifer Lopez has caused a stir on social media after debuting a striking new look that left fans questioning if they were seeing pop icon Gwen Stefani instead. The singer and actress shared a series of selfies flaunting a platinum blond hairstyle, and the resemblance was so uncanny that even her most devoted followers admitted they had to look twice.
The photos quickly went viral, with one fan commenting, “I thought this was Gwen Stefani at first!” Others chimed in with similar reactions, saying the hairstyle and bold makeup echoed Stefani’s signature style from her No Doubt era and beyond. Lopez, who is known for experimenting with her image, has sported blond looks in the past, but this shade of platinum seemed to push her transformation to an entirely new level.
Comparisons to Stefani poured in across X, Instagram and TikTok, with memes and side-by-side edits flooding timelines. Some users celebrated the mix-up, saying the two stars are “Queens of reinvention,” while others insisted Lopez was deliberately channelling Stefani’s aesthetic. One fan joked, “J.Lo really said Gwen Stefani but make it Bronx.”
Despite the chatter, Lopez did not directly address the comparisons, instead letting the bold images speak for themselves. Her post racked up thousands of comments within hours, reminding fans that few stars can command attention with a simple selfie quite like her.
The moment has reignited nostalgic conversations about early 2000s pop culture, when Lopez and Stefani were both dominating music charts with hits like Love Don’t Cost a Thing and Hollaback Girl. Now, decades later, the two continue to influence style trends and spark buzz across social media.
Whether intentional or not, Lopez’s platinum look has proven once again that she knows exactly how to get people talking.
