Let’s face it, the world is completely enamoured with early 00s style and the iconic celebrities of the time such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez who consistently delivered eye catching ensembles that look fresher than ever through a 2025 lens.
Well luckily for us, J.Lo is still delivering the goods – her recent appearance at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in a pink latex two-piece proves out point perfectly, but oh how we love a throwback shot of the iconic star.

While Lopez’s top asks, “who cares,” with the nonchalant attitude of a pop queen, today we like to use our slogans to do good (see Pedro Pascal who recently took to the red carpet in a Protect The Dolls tshirt, advocating for trans rights.)
