Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez loves her new nickname "Slay Lo".

The 46-year-old has been turning heads on the red carpet so far at the awards season, with some incredible ensembles. Her outfit choices have earned her a new moniker - one that the mother-of-two is more than happy with, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Asked what she thought about the nickname, Lopez told entertainment website HipHollywood.com: "I'll take it".

Lopez currently stars as a single mother and detective Harlee Santos alongside Ray Liotta in TV show "Shades of Blue" - a part she knew she wanted as soon as she read the script.

The police procedural series tells the story of Harlee getting involved in a FBI anti-corruption probe.

"When I read it, it made me feeling something, it made me feel something right away. And I know if it makes me feel something then it's going to make other people feel something," Lopez said.
