However, thanks to some pre-planning (and perhaps an unwillingness to free-boob in public), J.Lo was wearing pasties--one of which peeked out and saved the day when her strapless pink dress rode down. That's not to say that the mother of two hasn't suffered from a full-blown wardrobe malfunction before (who hasn't flashed their Spanx at some point?), but she clearly knows how to dress her fantastic figure. The newly single star insists, though, that her body isn't that of a typical woman in Hollywood. "I'm not a size 0 or 2. I'm not 6-feet-tall like a lot of the models that come around, and I'm like, 'Wow, I'm really short compared to models!'," she told Vogue in a 2012 interview.
"I'm just a regular woman. I wear a size 6. You know, when I eat a little too much over the holidays, maybe a size 8. When I'm in shape, maybe a size 4." And just in case Jenny from the Block ever begins to doubt herself, she wears a diamond ring on her finger that spells out "I LOVE ME." She realizes, she said, "That may sound conceited, but it's not."
"If you don't love yourself, you can't love anybody else," she explained. "And I think as women we really forget that. All we want is to be happy, to feel secure, to feel understood. But you can't look for somebody else to do that for you.
You think about it. Oh, yeah, of course I care about myself. Of course I have good self-esteem. But when you really take a good look, you are not treating yourself like someone who does. And when you let people treat you in a way that you don't want to be treated, it's not their fault. It's yours." Amen to that, J.Lo!
