Jennifer Lopez doesn’t have time for haters.
On opening night of her new Sin City residency, Up All Night Live in Las Vegas, the 56-year-old pop icon hit back at critics of her signature sexy style.
“Some of the things[people are saying online]make me laugh,” J. Lo told the crowd at a sold-out show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Tuesday night, wearing a barely-there green Celia Critarioti look dripping with sparkly fringe.
“Why does she always wear clothes like that? Why doesn’t she wear age-appropriate clothes? Why is she always naked?”
Lopez said in a confident tone. “If you had this booty, you’d be naked too!”
Fans praised the superstar in the comments section, with one writing: “Mr. Lopez, please make that clock a clock!!!”
“She didn’t lie about her body. She has a great body! Gym-trained body! Muscle, strength, definition. That’s something the majority of women, even young women, don’t have. She knows she achieved her goals in the gym. I respect her! That’s discipline,” another wrote.
“Be aware,” added a third.
True to her name, the “Let’s Get Loud” singer wowed the audience at her first show in Las Vegas with a series of sparkly and revealing stage outfits.
Standout looks included a skin-tight sparkling pink gown and matching opera gloves by The Blonde, as well as a see-through spiderweb-inspired lace catsuit and cape custom-made by Victoria’s Secret.
Performance outfits aside, J.Lo is equally famous for her racy red carpet looks.
Who can forget the iconic plunging green Versace dress she wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards? This style became so popular that it spawned Google Image Search. Or, more recently, the silver side-open Tamara Ralph dress she chose for the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival premiere of “Unstoppable”?
“One dress can change the trajectory of how people dress for the next 10 years,” Lopez said in a 2019 YouTube video looking back at the old fashion moment, which she has referenced many times since.
“It’s a tremendous impact that fashion can have and that a fashion statement can have in cementing a personality, a moment, a style, a movement, all of that.”
