Pop icon Jennifer Lopez has made no shortage of headlines this summer, especially amid the cancellation of her world tour, speculation over her marriage problems with husband Ben Affleck, and a lavish vacation in the Hamptons. Today, however, she is in the spotlight in particular. The megastar is celebrating her 55th birthday, inspiring a social media retrospective celebrating her decades-long career.

Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Jennifer Lopez highlighted the special day with a sultry Instagram post. The singer took a selfie in the mirror at her villa wearing nothing but a white bathing suit, a high ponytail, and a bunch of gold jewelry. She captioned the photo, “This is me now,” and added a birthday cake emoji.

This simple caption has two meanings. One is the title of the singer's latest album, movie, and canceled tour. The other is J.Lo's surprisingly bare face: instead of dressing up in her favorite designer and full makeup, she embraces her figure in a form-fitting one-piece swimsuit from Gooseberry Intimates. Instead of shying away from aging or hiding her body, Lopez celebrated her appearance at 55. The post was effective, garnering over 700,000 likes and hundreds of congratulations in the comments section.

Particularly attentive viewers could also spot Lopez's chic birthday manicure in the post. This is a remnant of a lavish Bridgerton-themed party that took place over the weekend. The manicure, courtesy of nail brand CND and nail artist Elle Gerstein, reflects the elegant, minimalist design of her swimsuit. It seems that J.Lo has truly entered the au naturel era: on another of her birthdays, she flaunted her curves in a sheer, toile Dior dress. There, too, she kept her styling simple, with her hair in a slicked-back ponytail and minimal makeup and accessories.

Aging positivity is not the only birthday activity for the “On the Floor” singer. Jennifer Lopez's natural beauty shined through during her vacation in the Hamptons: whether she was cycling in overalls and new trendy shoes or shopping in a maxi dress and wedge sandals, she was mostly makeup-free, with a simple, slicked-back hairstyle. J.Lo's message” This is exactly what ”her... Now.”
