Can you believe it took eight studio albums before Jennifer Lopez put out an ode to her, well you know “Booty“? Trust us, it was worth the wait. Lopez’s new single features our favorite Aussie, Iggy Azalea, doing a guest verse on the track. Sure, it initially had Pitbull dropping some rhymes on this, but after watching this video, you’ll probably be saying, “Pitbull who?”
It is simply that good. And Lopez kills it with a surprising number of outfit changes considering the video’s lightning-fast pace. We took the time to break down all of J.Lo’s looks. Vamanos!

There’s a retro, black and white swimsuit that surfaces in the first moments of the video. Mysteriously enough, it’s never seen again.

In our first look at Jenny from the Block—headless monochromatic swimsuit aside—she’s wearing a gold halter cowl-neck leotard.

Did we mention it shows a dangerous amount of skin? Thankfully, through the magic of quick edits and Jenny’s breakneck dancing, nothing is revealed.

Here’s the same outfit from the back. If there’s anything to be learned from J.Lo’s first outfit, it’s that the woman is incredibly fit. And those spikey heels are so high they might as well be pointe shoes.

Lopez’s next look is a very high-cut white swimsuit. The combination of slicked back hair, strong red lip, white blazer with sleeves cuffed, and that very retro bikini cut feels very Patrick Nagel meets Robert Palmer.

Here’s the look in motion.

Just leaving this here…

Throughout the video, Lopez shows off a lot of body, but in a tasteful minimal ’80s kind of way. It continues with her next look: a mesh bra top, high waisted black knickers and fishnet stockings. The scene’s choreography might be a call out to an older video of Lopez’ (“I’m Glad”), which was an almost shot-by-shot homage to iconic ’80s film Flashdance.

In the next scene, Jenny wears a skintight black rashguard with high waisted bikini bottoms.

And then… Who dat, who dat?

Iggy Azalea makes her entrance, killing it in a black and white swimsuit for her guest verse. Also present: a stack of gold bracelets proving that even with a minimal amount of clothing, the girl still knows how to accessorize.

Aside from the red lip, J.Lo’s other major beauty look in the video is a subtle smoky eye with pale pink lip gloss. And don’t even get me started on how perfect her brows are in this.

In this scene, Iggy joins Jennifer in some sort of dim hallway to, umm, compare notes?

Iggy’s in the same swimsuit from earlier, and J.Lo’s wearing what looks like a demure black one-piece.

Like I said, “looks like.”

Next, Lopez decides a gallon of honey is the perfect accompaniment to petal pink lips.

Also, gold netting and JEWELZ.

If you missed the mesh bra and knickers from earlier, never fear! J.Lo decides to resurface the look but pairs it with a black blazer, spiked heels, red framed Ray-Ban wayfarers, and some incredibly lethal-looking heels.

And then, the obligatory reverse shot.

In the last look of the video, Lopez gets a little introspective as she’s lit up by some very dramatic lighting. Is it just me or is this not very Billy Idol circa “Cradle of Love”?

Jennifer’s white tank dress closes the video with minimal clothing but maximum impact.
Phew! I don’t know about you, but I might have to rewatch this video a dozen more times. BRB, signing up for a gym membership with an emphasis on squats.
