12 of Jennifer Lopez’s S͏e͏x͏i͏e͏s͏t͏ Sheer Dresses, Dating Back to 1998

Jennifer Lopez didn’t invent the sheer red carpet dress, but she might as well be its official ambassador—that’s how many times she’s rocked one to perfection. And since there’s a good chance if someone put you on the spot and said, “Quick, name the world’s sexiest woman”, J.Lo would tumble from your lips, it only makes sense—she looks crazy good in them. Now, a quick study of her steamiest, in chronological order.

Her latest came from last night’s American Idol finale, where she picked a long-sleeve black dress that was plenty sexy due to sheer stripes from wrist to ankle.

The sheer-ness continued onstage too, where she picked a shorter sparkly number to jam alongside Keith Urban.
