An old video of Jennifer Lopez as Selena Quintanilla shows just how iconic both the film role and the late superstar remain today.

The internet can’t get enough of Selena Quintanilla. A resurfaced video of the Tex-Mex icon portrayed by Jennifer Lopez is once again making the rounds online, reaffirming the enduring popularity of the film and the beloved singer.

The video features Lopez as Quintanilla in her breakthrough role in Selena, released in 1997. In the behind-the-scenes footage, Lopez is dressed as Quintanilla, wearing some of her most iconic looks, including bedazzled bras and two-piece outfits. The clip also highlights Quintanilla’s signature hairstyles and makeup, such as her bold red lip. A standout moment in the video showcases a recreation of Quintanilla’s emblematic Grammy Awards look, complete with her signature updo.

Fans have flooded the comments section to praise Lopez’s transformation and performance. One user wrote, “The makeup and costumes were fantastic, and Jennifer embodied Selena in such a beautiful way. I can’t imagine her family seeing her for the first time.” Another commented, “I remember when I saw this for the first time as a little girl. She played her role so well she had me thinking she was the real Selena ????.”

Beyond the resurfaced video, excitement is also building around a new documentary, Selena y Los Dinos, which features never-before-seen footage of the late Mexican-American superstar. The documentary, announced last month, will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival later this month. The festival runs from January 23 to February 2, 2025, in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah.

The official logline states:

“Selena Quintanilla — the ‘Queen of Tejano Music’ — and her family band, Selena y Los Dinos, rose from performing at quinceañeras to selling out stadium tours. Her life and legacy are celebrated through never-before-seen footage from the family’s personal archive.”

The documentary coincides with the 30th anniversary of Quintanilla’s tragic death, further cementing her legacy.

With this milestone in mind, more tributes are expected throughout the year as fans continue to honor and celebrate the beloved singer’s life and impact.
