Jennifer Lopez on Boys & Girls Club Billboard Rocking Pippi Longstocking Braids

Just call her Pippi from the Block!

Long before she rocked beehives and Brigitte Bardot bouffants, Jennifer Lopez looked bangin' in braids.

In a new billboard unveiled today in New York City's Times Square for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a young J.Lo can be seen with her tresses in Pippi Longstocking-esque twists and tied to the top of her scalp. Little did she know she'd spark a trend more than 30 years later -- braids were all over the Spring 2010 runways!

The future fashion empress, who attended a Catholic grammar school, also wears a conservatively high-collared blouse with a plaid jumper -- hard to believe this is the same gal who took the plunge in that infamous plunging green Versace dress at the 2000 Grammy Awards.

J.Lo, who is mother to 2-year-old twins Max and Emme, has credited the Boys & Girls Club in her native Bronx, NY, with teaching her to sing and dance, and now she's hoping to inspire others as an ambassador for the organization, reports People.

The 40-year-old entertainer/mogul's billboard reads, "Be Extraordinary." Of course, when you're Jennifer Lopez, how can you be anything but?

In related news, read what J.Lo wore on a family trip to Disneyland.

Without Hollywood makeup and hair people, Jen Lo would be soooo plain and not too attractive. Like her sister.

She has such a low class ghetto accent too which is always surprising. She's all glam and then she opens her mouth...ugh...

Interesting how comments are about J.Lo's appearance. You all missed the point. Beautiful, glamorous, self-made BABE is spending her time and energies, and risking ridicule by posting a photo of herself as a child in Times Square, in an effort to inspire youngsters in her role as embassador of the Boys and Girls club. That, petty fools, is quite commendable. I applaud her.

Anyone that finds fault with J Lo or her heritage has a serious personal problem. I find the childhood pic remarkable in that it looks exactly like her adult face!

Derrel & Mike, She is a New York Rican, no need for papers. Also in Puerto Rico there are more Americans then in some other states.. Puerto Ricans need no passport to go back and fourth neither does anyone from the USA. Oh and we don't make Tacos but we just like thousands of Americans eat them lol. Hey I know a couple of Italians the still don't have papers anyone that is not from USA needs papers not only Latin folks.
We are all Gods children.. God Bless the World & even the ignorant people who can't seem to think before they judge..

Won't be back to read if someone has a problem with what I wrote here cause I could care less what they would have to say.
& Andy, she is not the only stealing husband woman around lol where have you've been?..
And what about all these cheating men from Golfer to Biker lol..
This is my opinion ; )
God Bless and Have A Great Summer!.. I ♥ Life!

HELLO....are you nuts...all you people that say Jello hasn't had plastic surgery...OMG..look up her older pictures....very obvious nose job, very definite breast implants...and lipsuction....that massive butt has been reduced if you can believe that..and the thighs...and she has had many many injections of botox and fillers and there is something different about her mouth. All these self absorbed stars do it...there are only a handful that don't.
