EW THROUGHOUT
THE DECADES
on the Metro or over coffee and cake, we proudly
present the new look Emirates Woman. In its
illustrious 29-year history, EW has remained synonymous with
style, whilst continuously delivering stories that inspire, encourage
and reward women living in the UAE.
This month, we delve into the sensitive subject of jealously
between friends because, if we are completely honest with
ourselves, we have all grappled with the emotion at some stage 80s
in our lives. On the fashion front, we give you tips from the top
on how to style out the summer and give your wardrobe a
workout. Our feature on cancer will make you think twice before
heading to the beach to top up your tan under the harsh UAE rays,
and we deliver the A-Z of all things to preen and pamper yourself with this summer.
Have a great month,

LASHINGS OF BLACK
“The smoky-metallic look is a huge trend this season and mascara is
a total must as it provides depth and contrast to make the overall look
more sultry and appealing,” explains Revlon make-up artist Huda
Kattan. “The Revlon Double Twist Mascara is ideal, as the bristles
work together to create beautiful long fake-looking lashes. The rubber
bristles apply just the right amount of mascara to give you dark, full
sexy lashes that are clump-free, while the black bristles on the brush
pull the formula through each lash.”

or decades, Jennifer Lopez has been in her element as the poster girl for a generation of trail-
blazing women – determined, driven, passionate and, with one look at her Latina figure, ‘all
woman’. Propelled into the spotlight through Fox’s 1994 South Central TV show and the
1995 drama My Family, she hit the ground running, a force of nature to be reckoned with.
A dancer by trade, an actress by passion, a singer by talent and fashion icon by default, her
abilities, then and now, transcended genres. Add to that her glamour and suddenly Jennifer
Lopez was a bankable commodity, turning herself, and her adopted alter-ego JLo, into a
highly successful self-made brand.
Since those first days as backing dancer to Janet Jackson, Jennifer has danced, sung and acted her
way into the affections of critics, fans and peers alike, whilst working tirelessly to ensure the light-
bulb of fame never went out. But come 2006, after a sea of number one albums, Hollywood box-
office hits (she lauds the title as the highest paid Latin actress in Hollywood history), and numerous
side-line projects, and the 41-year-old Latina lady from Castle Hill, California was through. A self-
prescribed ‘life-sabbatical’ was undertaken, whisking the diva instantly out of the searing glare of the media, affording
her time away from sets and stages, to lead a relatively quieter life, focusing on what had begun to matter most to
her – marriage and motherhood. However, skip forward to 2010, babies have been born, the career hiatus is over, and
Jennifer is back and it’s business as usual.
“Crossroads come at many times during your life. For me, it was a choice to take some time off,” she says.
“Being famous is mind-blowing and it enriches my heart and soul, but it can make you lose touch a little bit.
Everything had become so much and I realised there was a way to pull back from that.” And so the ‘sabbatical’
started, with her husband of six years, Marc Anthony, for company. “Marc and I are home-bodies and we revelled
in just being us and being together as a couple.”
However, come 2008 and the couple had to make room for two additions to their family, with the birth
of twins, Max and Emme. Priorities undoubtedly shifted for the notoriously hard-working entertainer, and
whilst motherhood is clearly her proudest achievement so far, the passion she has for her work became an ever-
increasing, yet welcome pulling on her apron strings. “I’ve always been working and to have left it for a couple of
years to have my kids and spend time with them has been a big deal for me, but I love being back at work.”
And back she is, looking every bit the Latina goddess – real woman, real curves – that she has become so famous
for (though she still laughs off rumours that her infamous behind is insured for US$1 billion). Though, for a woman
who has outwardly embraced and actively promoted her curvaceous Latina figure (nicknamed La Guitarra because
her body is shaped like a guitar), personal concerns regarding baby weight and post-pregnancy pounds plagued her,
just as they do most mothers. “People often equate being voluptuous and sexy with promiscuous. And before I had
