Jennifer Lopez Struts in Original Low-Rise Jeans From 'Ain't It Funny' Music Video 25 Years Later
There's nothing like a hit of nostalgia to get fans buzzing. Jennifer Lopezstunned fans when appearing in an Instagram video with Off Campus series star Mika Abdalla while wearing a throwback lace-up pair of jeans from the early 2000s.
Off Campus went viral on social media when Abdalla's character dressed up as Jennifer Lopez in her iconic green Versace dress for a party. She became the center of attention when dancing to Lopez's 2011 hit track with Pitbull, "On the Floor."
While the singer and actor previously commented on the track and dress going viral years later, she catered to fans by uniting with Abdalla to recreate the Off Campus scene. Besides Lopez's killer abs on display, fans also noticed a familiar pair of lace-up low-rise jeans. She's seen in the video wearing the jeans alongside a cropped white turtleneck and heeled boots.
The jeans in question appear to be the same pair she wore in the music video for her 2011 track "Ain't It Funny." One fan on X commented, "Those pants are INSANE" while posting a clip of the music video.
"They're the same ones from that video," confirmed Lopez.

Fans quickly commented back saying, "Being able to wear the same pair of jeans from 20 years ago is such a flex. Mother behavior," and "only you can slay like that mother." Others even posted side-by-side comparisons of Lopez from 2001 to 2026 with the caption, "Same body, same girl."
"Ain't It Funny" was originally written by Lopez and Cory Rooney as a track for her romantic comedy drama The Wedding Planner. Director Adam Shankman felt the song had too much of a Latin influence to make sense for the film, and it was instead released on Lopez's second studio albumJ.Lo. The track was a commercial success in multiple countries, with the music video filmed in sepia tone where Lopex meets a gypsy who tells her her future.
