Looking ultra fierce, Jennifer Lopez graces the cover of the February 2013 issue of ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ rocking a strong red lip and gold Paco Robanne dress.

In her spread, Lopez strikes a number of fashion forward poses for photographer Katjia Rawles as she wears pieces from Versace, Balmain, Tom Binns, Giuseppe Zanotti Design, Paco Robanne, Lopez by Istanbul’s Bosporus Strait, Tom Ford, Jimmy Choo, Fendi and Roberto Cavalli.

Meanwhile, on the inside pages of the fashion mag, Lopez opens up about her fashion choices, career, lifestyle and more.

The February 2013 issue of ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ hits newsstands on January 15th.

Here’s what Jennifer Lopez had to say:

On her infamous Grammy Awards dress: “I have that at home. The other day, my housekeeper put it on a mannequin in my spa, where I get my hair and makeup done. She sent me a picture. She was like, ‘You like this dress?’ Um, yeah, but I don’t know if I like it out in the house!”

On her career: “I’m a singer. I’m a dancer. I’m a performer. I’m an actress. That’s what I’m supposed to be doing. It makes me a better parent, a better person.”

On keeping things simple: “I like the whole idea of traveling, of looking good, and doing it well. I make it as simple and as beautiful as I can because my life is kind of big. So I pack my luggage, or dress myself, or comb my kids’ hair, pick up their clothes—that makes our life beautiful, you know? There’s something very elegant in that.”
