Jennifer Lopez had her fans doing a double take on Monday, as she shared a slew of snaps looking the spitting image of fellow singer Gwen Stefani.
The On The Floor hitmaker, 56, showcased a dramatic hair transformation, as she went platinum blonde for her upcoming film, Kiss of the Spider Woman.
J.Lo – who stars as Ingrid Luna and Aurora in the musical thriller – was almost unrecognisable, as she took to her Instagram to reveal some behind-the-scenes photos from the set.
Oozing old Hollywood glamour, she wore her locks in 1940s style curls and pulled into a chic updo with a pink headband, while sporting smoky eyeshadow and bold red lipstick.
Captioning the pictures, she wrote: ‘Stepping into the role of Aurora felt like dancing through the golden age of cinema … with all the glitz, glamour, and a whole lot of dancing. Stepping back into time has never been so much fun. ✨
While she was showered with praise for the stunning shots, many of her fans admitted they had initially mistaken her for Gwen, 56, as the No Doubt singer is famous for her platinum hair and classic red lip.

Kiss of the Spider Woman is an iteration of the 1993 Broadway musical, which was based on Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel of the same name.
It has been adapted for the screen and directed by Bill Condon, based on the original music script penned by the late Terrence McNally, John Kander and Fred Ebb.
Alongside J.Lo, the film stars Diego Luna as Marxist Valentin Arregui and Tonatiuh as gay hairdresser Luis Molina, who are cellMates in prison in Argentina.
Jennifer plays an imaginary figure named Aurora, who was dreamed up by Molina as a fantasy escape from his miserable imprisonment.
In the story, Molina is serving eight years behind bars ‘for corrupting a minor.’ He imagines films starring Aurora to escape his misery while imprisoned.
In one of the fantasized productions, Aurora embodies a spider woman who kisses her victims to kill them.
Speaking to Out magazine last month about the film, Jennifer said: ‘This very intense experience they have of being locked in the cell together and helping each other survive.
‘They’re able to see straight into [the] humanity in one another and fall in love. To me, that is the real definition of love.’

While she gushed over her experience of shooting the musical, which kicked off in March last year, during the period that JLo’s brief marriage to Ben Affleck was beginning to crumble.
Just three months after she wrapped up her scenes in the film in May, Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben, 53, on their second wedding anniversary in August 2024.
Alluding to the rocky period of her love life, she told Out: ‘It was one of the most beautiful moviemaking experiences I’ve ever had, and also at a difficult time in my life.
‘But it… just filled a part of me that was waiting to kind of come alive for so long’.
While Ben and his fellow Hollywood heavyweight best friend, Matt Damon, served as producers for the flick, under their production company, Artists Equity.
The film has garnered significant Oscar buzz — particularly for Jennifer’s stunning performances — since its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
Kiss of the Spider Woman is slated to be released in theatres on October 10.
