An image in transition: Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez started out as a back up dancer and later got everyone's back up with her must-have diva demands but that's Jenny, and I think we need more celebrities like her.

This whole non-panty, rolled out-of-bed, rehab-visiting routine has become tiresome. We want women like La La Lopez and Miss Beyonce, who embody not only the X-factor but a glow. A glow of success, a sheen of femininity, beautifully packaged to create a sensuous front, a bewitching camouflage which belies a steely grit to succeed. Butterflies with sting, women with substance and style... now that's power.

Jennifer Lopez is all woman. She makes no apologies for her diamonds or her men, and whilst she may have collected both in abundance, it's her rags to riches story which makes her all the more enviable.

There should be no critique for someone who worked hard to find her place on the star studded map and then lapped up all the trimmings of 'celebridom'. She's unapologetic in her approach to life; she's worked hard for her lavish lifestyle and so why should she hide her fabulosity?

Even if you don't buy into the whole bling thing, there is another reason to love Jennifer – she made big bums, big news. Her body shape doesn't fit the traditional Hollywood mould and yet it doesn't stop J from doing the Lo on her clothing. Sure she's got butt, but she wears whatever she likes, a lesson most of us forget when we look in the mirror.

Take a cue from the JLO style guide, embrace those curves, throw on some bronzer and say hail to the queen of sheen... but just remember, that even with all the rocks she's got, she's still Jenny from the block.
