When Jennifer Lopez does holiday glamour she goes very big — and often very red. This season her approach is monochromatic to the max… from crimson puffer stiletto boots to candy-apple eyewear. And in between? A red JLO -monogrammed Valentino clutch and slinky red pants. 

But we're really here for the beauty and there you can take inspiration from Lopez without a serious wardrobe budget — and with only a few minutes to spare before party time. Her crimson lip color, chosen by makeup artist Mary Phillips, had a lively satin finish. It also had users in her IG post's comment section fawning over the shade that has yet to be disclosed (sigh). 

The whole look's crowning achievement was a sleek (and so easy!) bun styled by hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons. In his Instagram post showcasing Lopez's look, Fitzsimons said that he used a trio of products to achieve the high and tight silhouette: Prism Shine Softening Crème, Hard Strong Hold Hairspray, and Prism Shine Invisible Shine Hair Spray, all from his own haircare line.

J.Lo's own photos don't spotlight her manicure but it seems likely to be the candy cane-infused French manicure that her longtime nail artist Tom Bachik highlighted in his own Instagram post. Lopez's almond-shaped French nails featured a white snowflake design on the index finger and a ringlet of diagonal swirly lines on the middle finger.

If you are now officially inspired by this walking holiday moodboard, we have some beauty product recommendations to replicate the details of Lopez's look. The Chillhouse Chill Tips in Let It Flow can recreate those candy-cane nail accents, and Clinique's Pop™ Reds lip stain comes in seven different red shades for you to choose from.
