In or Out: Jennifer Lopez in Marchesa

Funky chicken.

Jennifer Lopez attends the Fox Searchlight 2011 Golden Globe Awards
Party held at The Beverly Hilton in Marchesa.

We laughed out loud when we first saw these pictures. And J Lo, if you're reading this, we laughed WITH you, not AT you. Promise, girl! Witch's honor! We think after a long time away, we might actually be falling back in love with her. Like we said when we gave that Soap Opera Awards-style dress she wore to the Golden Globes our approval, the gal knows her image and knows what the public wants to see her in. Not classically chic Chanel or Roland Mouret or even Gucci. No, we want her to look like a big Latina drag queen and god bless her, Jenny seems to have figured this out. Wouldn't it have been so much better if Madonna had figured this out when she was Jenny's age? We would have been spared the sad attempts at acting and the bullshit English Rose persona.

But Jenny? A word of advice: while we applaud the go-go dancer/chicken look you're working here, any true drag diva will tell you that you need to embrace some color. The fabulously over-the-top qualities of this getup are somewhat mitigated by the neutral tones. Next time, try shocking pink feathers and orange satin shoes. Or maybe you could work a rainbow effect into your next outfit. Either way, we applaud and support these first baby steps toward embracing your drag diva-hood. We'll talk soon about eyelash and wig options for you, but for now, we say, "Brava, darling. You're so IN!"
