JLo is the latest celebrity to showcase her gym-honed midriff. Gone are the days when celebs would pretend they had never stepped foot in a gym or hardly ever worked out. Now it seems the Hollywood stars are extremely proud of all their hard work and happy to show it off on the red carpet.

In an interview with Oprah Daily Jennifer's trainer Dodd Romero explained that the actress trains four to five times a week in the gym and spends at least an hour working out. Her workout reportedly includes a mix of strength and HIIT exercises (High-Intensity Interval Training) - as well as a super healthy diet plan.

Jennifer is clearly committed to her rigorous workout routines and proud all the effort and hard work that goes into maintaining her figure. So she has every right to show it off, well they do say ‘If you’ve got it flaunt it.’

What is it with everyone getting their abs out? It seems all the celebs are doing it. Barbie actress Margot Robbie wore a bikini top to the Chanel Cruise 2023/24 show proudly showing off her stomach. Kim Kardashian likes to show off her rock-hard abs at any occasion including the Time 100 Summit.

Pop superstar Taylor Swift has been rocking a crop top or two whilst performing on her Era’s tour. Singer Rita Ora is no stranger to the style trend as she is often spotted on the red carpet with tummy out. Halle Berry is another fan as she loves to share pics of her six pack.

Even Gwyneth Paltrow has tried out the midriff trend when she wore a long sleeve co-ord crop top and wide leg trousers to the The Daily Front Row's Seventh Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards.

It is a trend that I am however not a fan of, I think it’s great that these women are showing off their taut abs and obviously work hard in the gym and follow a strict diet - we all know abs are made in the kitchen not just the gym. 

Of course, I am slightly envious of them and would probably be the first person to show off my abs if I had any, but I’m sticking to my guns on this one no matter how toned your stomach is, getting it out on the red carpet in my opinion will never look good. 

You can watch Mother on Netflix from the 12 May (UK).
