Jennifer Lopez is officially bringing the early s back, and we are not mad about it.
The multi-hyphenate superstar just sent the internet into a frenzy by announcing a special th-anniversary deluxe re-release of her career-defining album, J.Lo. To kick off the celebration, Lopez wiped her social media slate clean, updating her profile pictures to that iconic cover art featuring her signature brown fur coat and those tinted sunglasses that are—honestly—just as trendy today.

“It’s all good,” she concluded. “The good news is that I’m learning and I’m growing and we’re in our happy era. I’m in my happy era.”
