Is This Gwen Stefani? Fans Mistake Jennifer Lopez’s Dramatic Transformation!

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

JENNIFER LOPEZ TURNS INTO GWEN STEFANI IN BIZARRE HAIR TRANSFORMATION

Jennifer Lopez is giving fans a serious case of déjà vu as she rocks a platinum blonde look that has left everyone thinking... "Gwen Stefani who?"

The 56-year-old superstar shared behind-the-scenes snaps from her upcoming film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and we're not sure if it's JLo or G-Dub staring back at us! The singer-songwriter's dramatic hair transformation has got everyone doing a double take, with fans flooding the comments section to point out the uncanny resemblance between the two musical icons.

"Girl, I thought you was @gwenstefani!" wrote one fan, while another quipped, "What in the Gwen Stefani is this?" The internet is going wild with reactions ranging from "JLo looks like a G-Dub clone" to "Is this a throwback to 2000s fashion?"

But don't just take their word for it - even JLo's famous friends were fooled! Natasha Bedingfield commented, "Omg you look like @gwenstefani Love you sis," while makeup artist Scott Barnes revealed that he created a "full transformation" for the singer as part of her role in Kiss of the Spider Woman.

But what's behind this stunning makeover? JLo is set to star in the musical thriller alongside Diego Luna, playing an imaginary figure named Aurora - and we can't wait to see her bring this complex character to life!

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

In a recent interview with Out magazine, Jennifer gushed about her experience shooting Kiss of the Spider Woman, saying it was "one of the most beautiful moviemaking experiences I've ever had" despite going through a tough time in her personal life. Just three months after wrapping up filming, JLo filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, citing "irreconcilable differences."

As for the film itself, Kiss of the Spider Woman has been generating significant Oscar buzz since its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. With an all-star cast and a critically acclaimed script, it's no wonder Jennifer is getting so much attention - but we have to ask... will she be able to shake off her G-Dub vibes on the red carpet?

Kiss of the Spider Woman: The Movie

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

Based on the 1993 Broadway musical, Kiss of the Spider Woman tells the story of two prisoners in Argentina who fall in love while serving time. JLo plays Aurora, an imaginary figure dreamed up by one of the prisoners as a fantasy escape from his miserable imprisonment.

The film has been adapted for the screen by Bill Condon and features original music by Terrence McNally, John Kander, and Fred Ebb. With its themes of love, redemption, and the power of the human spirit, Kiss of the Spider Woman is set to be a must-see this fall.

Kiss of the Spider Woman: A Love Story

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. ¿

When JLo told Out magazine that "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," we couldn't help but get chills.

With her stunning performances and undeniable chemistry with co-stars Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, it's clear that Jennifer Lopez has put her heart and soul into this project. Will she take home an Oscar for Best Actress? Only time will tell - but one thing is certain: Kiss of the Spider Woman is a movie event you won't want to miss.

Get Ready for the Red Carpet

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 (seen in April)

Kiss of the Spider Woman hits theaters on October 10, and we can't wait to see JLo sizzle in her stunning platinum blonde look. Will she bring home an Oscar? Only time will tell - but one thing is certain: this movie is going to be a wild ride!
