Jennifer Lopez’s Highlights Are Downright Chonky — See Photos

Jennifer Lopez has been out and about in New York City over the last few days, promoting her upcoming romantic comedy Office Romance, and it seems dating rumors and the chemistry between her and costar Brett Goldstein have been getting most of the attention. But that’s crazy, you guys. It’s her highlights that we should really be talking about.

Stepping out in a sharply tailored black double-breasted blazer layered over a tiered, white dress by Elisabetta Franchi on June 1 (I’m getting Prince vibes—are you getting Prince vibes?), Lopez delivered one of several polished, high-fashion fits she’s been seen in over the course of mere hours. But while I could easily rave about the ruffles for several paragraphs, what I really want to talk about is what was framing that frilly collar: her hair. More specifically, the high-contrast color.

You know how sometimes you might be made to feel like if people can actually see your highlights, you’ve somehow done it wrong? Jennifer Lopez is not hearing that. Her hair is laced with bold ribbons of honey-blonde and caramel that are intentionally noticeable against a brunette base. They’re not chunky in the frosted, 2002 mall salon kind of way. Instead, they’re strategic, with the kind of thickness that creates dimension and brightness in a way that looks especially gorgeous on so much length.

Not even 24 hours later, Lopez had hidden away all of that variegation in a super-sleek bun (see above). And I’m sorry, but as beautiful as said bun may be, it’s practically a crime to keep these chonky highlights out of view.

Hopefully, as she continues her press tour, we’ll get to see those rays of hair sunshine a few more times before she gets the itch to make a change—if only so we have more inspo photos for our own chunky summer highlights.
