Jennifer Lopez dazzles in the first trailer for Kiss of the Spider Woman, released on August 20—marking one year since her divorce from Ben Affleck, who produced the film. The 56-year-old star’s bold blonde transformation stole the spotlight, with fans likening her to Madonna’s 1990s Blond Ambition era, Gwen Stefani, and Hollywood icon Jean Harlow. “Blondie Jenny works for me,” raved one fan, while another declared, “She’s a mix of Madonna and classic glamour.”

Directed by Oscar winner Bill Condon, the film reimagines the 1993 Broadway musical based on Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel. Set in a prison, it follows Valentín (Diego Luna), a political prisoner, and Molina (Tonatiuh), a flamboyant window dresser, who bond over Molina’s fantasies of silver-screen diva Aurora (Lopez). The trailer showcases Lopez in lavish musical sequences, channeling Old Hollywood glamour with sequined gowns and dramatic choreography.

In an interview with Out magazine, Lopez called the project “one of the most beautiful moviemaking experiences I’ve ever had,” despite filming during a personal “difficult time.” She revealed the story’s themes of love and resilience deeply moved her: “They see into each other’s humanity and fall in love. That’s the real definition of love.”
