In a brand new clip shared on her JLO Beauty Instagram page, Jennifer Lopez flaunted a stunning yellow gown featuring a chic keyhole cut-out. The 52-year-old singer, famous for songs like “Jenny From The Block,” highlighted the importance of Latin women taking on positions of power. What really stood out was her honest admission towards the conclusion of the video, where she revealed that she has never quite felt like she fit in with the Hollywood crowd, despite appearing in close to 30 movies. Lopez openly confessed to still feeling like a bit of an outsider in the entertainment industry.

Update from Jenny: Jennifer Lopez made an appearance in a new video on her JLO Beauty Instagram account recently. She first started her acting journey back in 1995 with the film “My Family,” sharing the screen with Jimmy Smits and Constance Marie. Since then, she has starred in popular movies like “Money Train,” “The Cell,” “The Wedding Singer,” and “Maid in Manhattan.” Not only has she been in these successful films, but she has also delved into producing her own projects such as “El Cantante,” “Second Act,” and “Hustlers.” The versatile Lopez is gearing up to wow audiences in her upcoming movies “Marry Me” with Owen Wilson and “Shotgun Wedding” with Josh Duhamel. In her latest video, Lopez highlighted the importance of having a sense of belonging, a feeling that many can relate to.

The 52-year-old vocalist, famous for songs such as “Jenny From The Block,” wore a sleek yellow dress that featured a trendy keyhole design at the front, all the while highlighting the importance of Latin women taking on leadership roles.

Isn’t it surprising? The standout part of the video was when Ben Affleck’s partner shared her feelings of never quite fitting into the Hollywood scene, even after being in almost 30 films. She expressed that she still feels like she doesn’t quite belong in the industry, like an “outsider.”

Lopez started off by saying that we all have a natural need for connection and fitting in.

In a recent interview, she made a surprising revelation by admitting that she has always felt like she didn’t quite belong in the world of cinema. Looking back on her time in Hollywood, she openly expressed, “I believe everyone should feel a sense of belonging, but like many others, there were countless instances where I felt like an outsider, particularly in the movie industry.”
Despite achieving success, the actress revealed that she still grapples with feeling like an outsider in the film world. Nevertheless, she stressed the importance of finding a supportive community, your own tribe, to overcome obstacles. She firmly believes that we all have an inner strength that can propel us towards achieving our goals.
In her remarks, she also underlined the importance of self-acceptance, stating, “The key to genuine beauty is embracing yourself as you are.” It seems that Lopez may still be processing her feelings after being overlooked for an Oscar nomination for her performance in Hustlers.

Ouch: ‘I think it’s really important for everyone to have a sense of belonging, and like many others, there were times in my life where I felt like I didn’t fit in, especially in Hollywood,’ she revealed as sad music played softly in the background. Nevertheless, the Oscar nominations went to Scarlett Johansson (Jojo Rabbit), Florence Pugh (Little Women), Kathy Bates (Richard Jewell), Margot Robbie (Bombshell), and Laura Dern (Marriage Story), with Laura Dern ultimately winning.

While speaking with Oprah Winfrey in May 2020, Jennifer confessed, ‘I felt like I let everyone down a bit. I was disappointed. There was so much build-up to it. I received so much positive feedback – more than ever before in my career – and there was this expectation of an Oscar nomination. I saw all these articles saying, “She’s a sure thing for an Oscar nomination, it’s in the bag.” As I read them, I wondered, “Could this really happen?” And when it didn’t, I felt a sense of letdown. It was like a sudden ‘Ouch’ moment.’ Despite this setback, her latest video aims to showcase the importance of Latin women standing up and making their voices heard proudly.

The celebrity also shared, ‘I can’t shake off this feeling,’ suggesting that she doesn’t feel fully accepted in the entertainment industry as an actress.

She has her own group of supporters: “To be honest, all you need is your own little tribe. I truly believe that we all possess this unlimited power within us that can make us unstoppable,” she shared.

Being a Latina woman, she highlighted the misconceptions surrounding Latinas and their ability to succeed, own businesses, or hold leadership roles. Despite these challenges, she firmly believes that Latinas are brave and influential, with the capacity to achieve anything they set their minds to.

Identifying herself as Jennifer Lopez, the creator of JLo Beauty, she spoke of her roots in the Bronx, New York, and her early job at a beauty salon. In developing JLo Beauty, her aim was to represent her background and inspire others from similar communities like hers.

In her native Spanish, she shared: “Nací y crecí en el Bronx, Nueva York. Mi primer trabajo fue en un salón de belleza cuando era niña. Al crear JLo Beauty, quería reflejar a personas como yo y mi comunidad de origen”.

One of her biggest accomplishments was working alongside Matthew McConaughey in the charming romantic comedy, The Wedding Planner.

A memorable moment: Lopez stood out as the star of the hit movie Maid In Manhattan in 2003.
