Jennifer Lopez covers and gives interview with InStyle September 2009.
The issue celebrates the 15th anniversary of InStyle and is a bumper 500 pages in length. On the cover, the mother of twins looks as though she is back to her former trim figure, in a Jil Sander fall 2009 black and white dress.
Some of the interview highlights are featured on People.com, you can check them out below.
- On her physical transformation since becoming a mother to her twins, 18-month-old Max and Emme: “There’s nothing as huge as giving birth to another human being and having to be responsible for another life. There’s you before kids, and there’s you after kids and they’re not the same you.”
- On how her parenthood has changed her outlook on all aspects of life, from her music to relationships and business ventures: “[Parenthood] totally changes your perspective on everything,” says Lopez. “You don’t come first anymore. There’s somebody else you care more about than yourself.”
- On how it was hard going from being an active entrepreneur to cutting down on work and stepping down: “I’m at a point in my life when I just don’t feel the need to put out anything unless I totally, absolutely feel it says what I want to say,” Lopez says about her music career.
- On her marriage and being wed to Marc Anthony for five years: “[I'm] still figuring it out as I go along. It’s the never-ending question – what is the key to love? I believe that in life you learn through experience,” she says. “I’m old enough to know now that relationships take work. That’s it’s not an easy thing.”

That dress is OVAH!
(Gay-speak for damn, that sheet is HOT!)
“OVAH” is a new one for me – I think my Gay-Dictionary is out of date. It’s from around 2005, the last time I had a gay male friend. Better get my ass on eBay and buy something newer.
Lovely photoshopping. She almost has a straight nose.
I think I remeber her saying in a documentary that she was in a car accident as a child and that’s what flattened the bridge of her nose. In any case, yes, nice work.
what’s the deal with that dress? is it supposed to look like some sort of flower opening up or somehing? i guess this is a fashion mag, so its allowed, but when was the last time you saw someone walking down the street in something like this? lol
she looks great. kudos to the photoshop elves! although, they could have left some color in her skin and not made her hair look like Princess leia from the beginning of return of the jedi! lol
I never do, but I gather it is rather stylish. If I knew anything about fashion, I’d probably be more enthusiastic. I never even noticed the skin colour, but you may have a point.
No-talent slapper.
Don’t hold back, sugar. You’ll strain something
