J. Lo's Birthday LBD Might Be Her Sexiest Yet

by Amy Sciarretto

J. Lo is a true source of inspiration for women over 40. She's the ultimate multi-hyphenate — singer, actress, dancer, designer, American Idol judge, and mother of twins. She proves you can have it all and do it all with sacrificing style. Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 46th birthday in a sheer and sexy LBD. Lopez seriously elevated her LBD game on her big day, squeezing her signature curves into one of the slinkiest ensembles she's ever worn. And if you've followed J. Lo's style evolution, you know that she has a thing for tight, revealing, and over-the-top sexy when it comes to her black dresses. So that's really saying something.

J. Lo's birthday outfit allowed her to show off all of her amazing figure, thanks to the LBD's strategically placed sheer panels. There were lots of cutouts, too. Yes, I could totally see Kim Kardashian wrapping her famous figure in this dress or something similar. While J. Lo is now 46, she reminds us that 40s are the new 20s or even 30s and you can wear a revealing outfit like this at any age. There's no age limit to sexy fashion. That's for sure.

Lopez also recently chopped off her hair into a shoulder-skimming shag, which was another element that elevated her LBBD — little black birthday dress.

Let's peep it from all angles.

The dress, by Bao Tranchi, didn't leave much to the imagination. J. Lo went commando (from what we can tell from the photos, anyway), and she still looked classic and smoldering.

So many straps, so much sheerness. It really will take your breath away.

It's all about the details, from the tiny cap sleeves to the chest strap to the cutouts.

Anyone else hearing Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" in their head?

While I have you here, let's revisit some of her other amazing black dresses, which were pretty much as revelatory.

Lopez was all volume with this look, from her leather-like dress to her hair.

This look had more booty, just in a different way... boots instead of her famous butt!
