Jennifer Lopez joined the brat summer trend with a casual selfie posted to Instagram Stories. On July 29, the 55-year-old actress posted a casual photo of herself relaxing in a cream sweater, with her hair styled in loose waves.
She paired the photo with a vibrant lime green background and Charli XCX’s catchy single Apple, taken from her most recent album Brat. The album has been getting a lot of attention online, and Lopez’s post has only added to the excitement.
Charli XCX’s album started a trend
Charli XCX’s sixth studio album, Brat, released on June 7, has captivated fans and sparked trends on social media. The album’s distinctive lime green artwork and catchy tracks sparked the brat summer trend. Charli’s loyal fans, known as Angels, have embraced the theme and declared this summer their own.
The trend has even spread to political circles. On July 21, after President Joe Biden announced he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race, Charli XCX left a fun comment on X (formerly Twitter), saying “Kamala (sic) is a badass.” In response, Kamala Harris’s official campaign account changed its banner to reflect the Brat Summer aesthetic, with “Kamala HQ” written in small black letters against a lime green background.
Charli XCX defines ‘brat’ in a TikTok video
Charli XCX used TikTok on July 1 to explain what it means to be a badass. In her video, she defined a badass as someone who is a little messy, likes to party, and is honest about their flaws and emotions.
“You’re just like that girl who’s a little bit messy and likes to party and maybe says some stupid things sometimes. Who’s feeling herself but then maybe has a breakdown. But likes to party, is very honest, very straightforward. A little unstable. Does stupid things. But it’s badass. You’re badass. It’s badass,” Charlie said.
Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday on July 24, while also enjoying a BRAT summer. She spent the occasion in the Hamptons and expressed her gratitude to fans via Instagram. She said she saw birthday wishes, beautiful videos and posts from all over the world last night and this morning.
Lopez wrote that she laughed, smiled and shed a few tears. She further added that she truly has the best, most amazing fans in the world. She added that she can’t express how emotional she is or how grateful she is to have everyone in her life.
