From J to the Lo

Jennifer Lopez is more than just a singer. She's an actress, an entrepreneur, a business woman, a designer … We take you through her incredible list of achievements, plus show you where you can buy her accessories/watches/perfumes

Never underestimate Jennifer Lopez. She's not just a singer. Or just a movie star. Or just a designer. Or just a diva. Lopez is all these and so much more.

She's a well-rounded businesswoman with an estimated worth of $255 million. From being a backup dancer from the Bronx (or so she still claims), Lopez has gone on to become a multimedia powerhouse.

Filmmakers know that they have to shell out a minimum of $15 million to get her to star in their movies. Record labels know that if they put up with her diva tantrums, all her albums will turn to gold, which will result in huge profits for them.

Businessmen and entrepreneurs know her as one of them. She doesn't just rely on her music and movies to get her by. In 2001 she formed the Sweetface Fashion Company.

Although co-run by Andy Hilfiger (designer Tommy Hilfiger's less famous brother), it has always been the creative brainchild of the singer/actress we once branded J-Lo.

Although she refuses to go by that moniker any longer, her various product lines still bear the logo. To begin with there's the J-Lo fragrances, the clothes, the accessories, the watches ... all with the unforgettable J-Lo brand on them.

Then of course, is her super-successfull California-based Cuban restaurant called Madre's and a reality show on MTV. As you can see, there's just no stopping Lopez.

Having moved on from just easy-to wear and couture-like clothes, Lopez's current Sweetface collection is high-end.
The collection, year after year, reflects her personal changes in style.

From velour tracksuits, camis and sportswear (from her Jenny From The Block days), today's Sweetface line boasts of cashmere micro-shorts, huge floppy umbrella hats, hot lambskin and fox boleros, woven real mink cardigans and velvet and chiffon baby doll dresses - which is precisely the kind of stuff Ms Lopez likes to be seen in now.

Never one to shy away from firsts, Jennifer's newest first is a Spanish language album. Titled Como Ama Una Mujer, the album has debuted at No. 1 on the Latin charts and at No.10 on the Billboard Top 200 Album charts.

From the way she's going, this is only the surface. There's so much more to Jennifer Lopez, so many more surprises down the line, so many more dynamic changes in personality and career choices, that it would be foolish for us to even try to guess.

It's a lot wiser - and easier - to just sit back and enjoy the J.Lo ride.
