Jennifer Lopez has made fashion history multiple times over the past few decades, from the iconic green Versace gown to plunging silver ensembles at the American Music Awards. While she’s lit up the red carpet on multiple A-list events, she never fails to wow and shock on the Golden Globes red carpet.

The two-time Golden Globe nominee has been a staple on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet, typically wowing in something both daring and colorful. From her debut in 1998 with that iconic cutout dress to her most recent, controversial bow gown she wore for her Hustlers nomination, we know she’ll come in something great.

For the Golden Globes, the CFDA Fashion Icon Award winner always comes in something eye-catching, like a caped silhouette or a super high slit that turns heads. Now, we’re seriously hoping Lopez arrives in another dazzling gown (and with her husband Ben Affleck on her arm) for the 80th Golden Globes Awards.

However, we’re totally fine with also taking a look back at her Golden Globes red carpet style evolution, from 1998 to 2020.

To celebrate the Golden Globes Awards show tonight, let’s check out Lopez’s gorgeous red carpet looks at the Golden Globes red carpet over the years below!

Back in 2004, for the 61st Annual Golden Globe Awards, Jennifer Lopez turned heads in this plunging orange Michael Kors gown.

Lopez is known for her daring style, and in an interview with InStyle, she talked about how she feels like a “loner” in the fashion world. “I’ve always felt like an outsider, in the fashion world, the music world, the movie world,” she said.

Jennifer Lopez can rock any color, including a color most people stray away from: bright yellow. For the 2016 Golden Globe Awards, she channeled old Hollywood glamour in this high-slit and caped Giambattista Valli dress. She also paired the look with Jimmy Choo heels and a clutch by Judith Leiber.
