Jennifer Lopez looked nearly unrecognizable in the first official trailer for her upcoming film Kiss of the Spider Woman – all thanks to a dramatic hair transformation.
The 56-year-old traded her toasted-almond locks for a bold blonde look reminiscent of Madonna in the 1990s during her Blond Ambition tour – and fans couldn't help but notice. "Never thought Jennifer Lopez could look like Madonna, but she does," penned one social media user.

In the trailer, Jennifer debuts her glossy new tresses, wearing a shimmering bronze dress paired with a bold red lip. Celebrity hairdresser Jay Birmingham, spoke to HELLO! to share an insight into the star's transformation.
"Channeling Marilyn Monroe with a dash of Madonna, J.Lo stunned with a creamy, golden blonde that lit up her complexion and gave her a radiant glow," he said.

Going from brunette to blonde doesn’t always work; it can leave some looking washed out. But J.Lo has pulled it off flawlessly – she exudes youthful energy and true blonde bombshell vibes."
Jay also shared his expert tips on how to achieve the blonde look yourself. "If J.Lo’s new look has given you inspiration to make the switch to blonde, it’s important that you visit a reputable hairdresser/colorist to ensure you carry out the change safely and do not cause any excessive damage to your hair," he explained.
"If you have a dark base colour, it may take a few trips to the salon to achieve a beautiful, clean blonde hue like this that still holds its shine."
He continued: "When it comes to styling and achieving that Hollywood glamour-inspired look, I always recommend using a tong, such as a ghd styling iron. Curl the hair in sections, alternating directions to create movement and bounce. Pin each section into place and leave your hair for an hour or so before removing the pins and lightly brushing the curls out for added volume."
