Jennifer Lopez Debuts Jaw-Dropping 50-Inch Hair Extensions at the Billboard Latin Music Awards

Jennifer Lopez made quite the statement at the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Normally, she doesn’t have to go to great lengths to have the best hair on any given red carpet. But at Thursday night’s awards, she did so quite literally — she wore hair that was 50 inches long.

The star, 48, hit the event’s red carpet in Las Vegas with straight blonde hair, which cascaded all the way down to her knees, way past her metallic mini lavender dress by David Koma (but not quite reaching her Jimmy Choo platform heels). Her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, shared the details of her long hair on Instagram, writing “50” alongside a photo of her red carpet look.

She also didn’t apply her makeup too heavily, like the star — who just unveiled her own extensive beauty collection with Inglot — opted for a natural look with smoldering bronze eyeshadow, crafted by makeup artist Scott Barnes. Her boyfriend since March 2017, Alex Rodriguez, joined her on the red carpet in a white jacket, matching slacks, and khaki boots.

However, it wouldn’t be a true J.L͏o͏ appearance without an epic performance — and her long hair got even longer
when she appeared on stage, nearly sweeping the floor as she debuted her new single “El Anillo” for the first time. The star wore a mesh and gold bedazzled bodysuit, and embellished her locks with an intricate jeweled headpiece, which matched the jewels that were strewn across her body.
L͏o͏p͏e͏z’s new song is raising speculation about whether she’s hinting to A͏.R͏o͏d͏ about an impending engagement ring. “I͏ have never felt anything this grand/And your wild side drives me crazy/You’ve given me so much that I’ve been thinking/I already have it all, but/When will I get the ring,” the lyrics say.
H͏o͏we͏v͏e͏r͏, in an interview with E͏b͏r͏o͏ D͏a͏r͏d͏e͏n͏ on B͏e͏a͏t͏s͏ 1, L͏o͏p͏e͏z opened up about the lyrics saying she wasn’t “trying to rush into anything” with R͏o͏d͏r͏i͏g͏u͏e͏z. “I’ve done that before. I’m a little bit more grown up now, and I like to let things take their natural course,” she said. “I know people are going to say that… we are really kind of good for each other and are really having the best time, and our kids love each other and all that.”
She continued, “Right now, the songs that I have coming out, everything that’s going on with women – it’s a very empowering time for us. It’s a good time for us. We’re like ‘Yo this is not OK/this is OK, I want to be treated with respect, I want my place in your life, I want to be paid equally’. And my next two songs kind of deal with that. Where’s my ring, and where’s my money?
