J. Lo and the Power of 50
At the Super Bowl, she proved “dress your age” has no meaning any more.
Fifty won the Super Bowl.
Fifty years between wins for the Kansas City Chiefs, and 50-year-old Jennifer Lopez, whose halftime performance in a series of barely-there Versace bodysuits sent social media into something of a meltdown.
More than four decades ago, Gloria Steinem crafted an aphorism that went down in history when, on her 40th birthday, a reporter told her she did not look her age — and she responded: “This is what 40 looks like.”
Well, on Sunday Ms. Lopez showed the world what 50 looks like — at least her version of it.
in a divided nation the one thing we can all agree on is J. Lo deserves an Oscar nom just for looking like this at 50 pic.twitter.com/x9qw4NgSFA

There hadn’t been this much excitement over a woman flaunting her age in public since Keanu Reeves took Alexandra Grant, a silver-haired 46-year-old artist, to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art gala last November.
And fashion hasn’t been used in such a pointed way during the Super Bowl since Beyoncé referenced the Black Panthers in outfits and imagery during her performance of “Formation” at the 2016 game.
