Jennifer Lopez performed on Ryan Seacrest’s New Year’s Eve show, and the results were… sketchy. I guess there was nothing wrong with the actual performance of her horrible new single “Louboutins” and her old hit “Waiting for Tonight” except that she wasn’t really singing, and she was doing a really crappy job of lip-synching. But the real story was probably her outfit. Now, I’ve always liked and appreciated the fact that Jennifer has a lovely, curvy figure and that she wears clothes to emphasis those curves. But there’s a difference between wearing clothes that show off your curves and wearing clothes where literally nothing is left to the imagination.
It is the curvaceous derriere which launched a modern-day diva. But as Jennifer Lopez cavorted on stage in an utterly unforgiving diamante-studded catsuit last night, her once ample bottom appeared to have been downsized.
Suffice it to say, there was no space for any lumps or bumps in a figure-hugging outfit which stole the show. She teamed the catsuit – which looked see-through under the stage lights – with a pair of matching diamante studded ankle boots.
The 41-year-old singer was performing at Times Square in New York to celebrate the start of 2010.
Despite miserable weather, more than 750,000 revellers braved the cold and rain to watch J-Lo sing. Millions also watched the show on television.
‘You didn’t think I could do that in the rain did you?’ she said after risking a major wardrobe malfunction with a hugely energetic routine.
Her audience cheered as she writhed on the stage before high-kicking along to Frank Sinatra’s classic New York, New York.
J.Lo grew up in the Bronx but admitted she had never been to Times Square to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
After her performance, she told host Ryan Seacrest: ‘This is my first time ever coming down here. It’s just so much good, hopeful, amazing, loving energy. I feel like a little girl!’
Seacrest, who was presenting Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, couldn’t hide his admiration for J.Lo’s costume.He grinned: ‘That outfit has made my year!’
[From The Daily Mail]
I really do like Jennifer, and I wish she didn’t try so hard to be hip and young. She can still be a solid pop music singer without resorting to these kinds of shenanigans. Oh, and Just Jared pointed this out too – Jennifer grinded her crotch into a guy’s face, just like Adam Lambert did on the AMAs. Will anyone complain?
I’m not drunk enough to see this again!!
For the love of GOD. I hate Lopez.
Her outfit reminds me of Cher-but without any vocal chops to back it up. Her dancers seem to be needing painkillers or deep tissue massage after hoisting her up. Maybe Ryan Seacrest could help them out?
No smack on her, but its a shame what women have to do today to try to be successful in the entertainment industry. When is this insane trend toward the more and more extreme and more exposed going to reverse already? It does no one any favors but most importantly: it has NOTHING to do with musical talent or artistry.
Ew. Bodysuits are always gross no matter who wears ’em.
What the hell is she wearing?
I’m not particularly a GaGa hater, but she has definitely raised the bar – and her skirt – on attention-getting schemes, and being that she’s a former stripper, is it any wonder?
This is what they have to compete with now, a stripper who walks around with no pants on, in a thong…doesn’t surprise me in the least. They gotta keep up with the competition, so anything goes, and it’s gone from CLASS to ASS.
I’m so tired of seeing naked women everywhere I look. If I were lesbian, then it wouldn’t be a problem. HO hum.
I have nothing against La Lopez but that is an ugly outfit…it would look really horrible on anyone!!
This reminds me of the time when, I think it was Denise Richards, came on the red carpet with rhinestone face. I googled it, couldn’t find it. Maybe it was someone else? Anyone else found it?
Anyways, this should be left for Britney Toxic vclip. J-lo has a nice body, but not for this.
She shouldn’t be wearing this at her age. While in the past she was thick but muscular, now she is just thick and pudgy, with her fat behind sagging horrendously.
Teehee, the music industry is not to blame for objectifying women. However, it is to blame for promoting women whose only appeal resides in objectification. Mrs Skeletor can’t sing, can’t act and thinks that ‘unreasonably demanding, bitchy diva’ is a synonym of ‘charismatic and professional entertainer’. What else can she do, besides flaunting her wardrobe-shaped body and cow hips?
Yes, absolutely nothing. J.Chunk, Loony or whatever she’s calling herself this week, needs to find something to justify her fame and she needs to do it very rapidly. She cannot rely on prancing around the stage half-undressed anymore.
It was painful to watch. I noticed at various times during her performance,that the dreaded pantyhose
“crotch-drop” issue occurred — you know, the one where you have to readjust and pull, pull, pull it up.
lopez got exactly the result she was desperate for — attention.
the real question is, who is the hell booked her for the gig.
Dear oh dear. What on earth could she have been smoking to make her think she would look good in that??? Either she was on something or her stylist has a vendetta against her. She looks awful.
I really just wish she would be secure enough in the knowledge that she is a famous 41 year old married mother of two and doesn’t need to resort to this desperate level of attention grabbing. It’s kinda sad…
I hate that song!
She looks like a sequined teletubby.
The look she was going for was “I can’t believe she’s 40 and looks this good, and it backfired.
There are very few women in their 40’s that can pull it off, I know Bridgette Fonda looks hot in her 40’s but not JLO.
Someone should have told JLo before the show to hang up the clown suit and go home.
You know who looks hot for 40 year old,
Gwen Stefani.
I wander what posessed JLo to dance in a body stocking when her body is so out of shape.
None of you said anything about the fur thing she had on over the unitard at first. Looked like horses mane!
And how she never got a camel toe is amazing! Must be some kind supporter under there.
The only people who should be allowed to wear that type of bodystocking (minus the bling) are athletes. Everyone else should be fined if spotted out wearing what is in effect a full – body – Speedo.
@ Jano
OMG! THE HAIR JACKET! Yuck!
This costume is an Epic Fail. There’s absolutely zero that’s flattering about it.
I don’t quite understand; either she wants people to stop making fun of her or not.
Yay @Lisa, that is exactly what I said yesterday! I was wondering to my friend where I had seen that particular look before and then I remembered…TELETUBBIES! Euuuwww Gross!
She looks like a Trojan full of yogurt. When you lack talent you have to resort to such stunts. I don’t see Taylor Swift doing that. Not yet anyway. Bubbles, good call on the beached whale!!
What an ugly backside. Good God. 2010 just started the decade of the ugly.
@coucou As a lesbian, I still think it’s pretty trashy. As a 40 year old, everyone needs to keep their clothes on, male or female. It has to do with class, sister, not sexual preference. Do you want to see naked men & their danglies walking around naked all day long? I think not.
She bugs me!
coucou– Lady Gaga has actual talent and an excellent sense of the ridiculous. She is also 23 with a bangin’ body, not a 41 year old with two kids. Even Britney looks gross in skivvies now, regardless of her hours and hours of workouts per day.
And as far as J-Hangin’-Lo is concerned, the outfit is gross, and the guy under her armpit looks like he just perforated a hernia.
Someone must have told her she looked great in that. They lied and should be fired. That is the most unflattering, baggy mess that I’ve ever seen! Hideous! Horrible! Have to go wash out my eyes now…
No. Just no. I agree with most of what you all have posted. This attire just does not work on her. It’s sad that she even has to go this route. What works in your late 20’s – early 30’s doesn’t always translate to your 40’s even whn u have a great figure.
She was going for “Hot Mom MILF” and it didn’t take.
How is this woman in any way fat? Not the best choice of outfits (horrible actually), but to call her actually fat is ridiculous.
yeah, there is certainly something under there, spanx i bet. its not see-through as was said in the article, its a nude lining under the sparkles to make it look see-through, but above the spanx.
i was trying to figure out what looked soo off, and i think she looks like an alien because i sort of expect to see her belly button, but there is none to be found.
Imagine if Adam Lambert had performed in THAT outfit at the AMAs. Just WHAT would people have been saying!
Hannah I agree. Where is the belly button?
Only Mike Myers as Dieter could pull this off!
Embarrassing. Another example of a celebrity surrounded by sycophants who don’t have the balls to tell her she’s making a mistake.
OMFG that’s horrible! I know she’s the queen of ME ME ME and would do anything to get attention but please not that way! I guess that’s what people with no talent resort to and since she’s not center of attention anymore I guess she’s desperate to do anyhting
This is the reason why real singers do not have to get half naked on stage; they do not need draw attention to the fact that they don’t have any talent
You know, every single person who told her she looked “hot” in that outfit on her way on to stage is now looking for a job. There is no way in sparkly hell that she can see the images of her online in this outfit and think she made the right decision.
Oh, and about the lip syncing – she can’t sing. Period. She’s the Ashley Simpson of the In Living Color generation.
I thought she looked GREAT! I’m still lovin’ and needin’ me some J-Lo! Thanks Girl!
it all looks so desperate. she looks like she thought about this too much — and wound up picking the wrong look.
her hair is not shiny either.
the whole thing — not so good.
This is karma for wearing all the fur, which she loves, she’s a self absorbed bitch, and I’m glad her career is over.
The reason you don’t see a belly button is because she is wearing a body shaper underneath the stocking.
Can you imagine what her belly looks like without the body shaper, that also explaines why she looked so flat in the chest and the bottom, it pulls everything in, but not up, but you are supposed to wear that thing under clothes not run around the stage naked.
She looked like a dancing seal.
I was flipping through channels at the end and just caught a glimpse of her in this, and said “what the hell is she wearing?!?!?” The whole thing was just ridiculous.
I don’t understand why Lopez is, or was, a fashion icon. I just don’t get it. I wish I did.
But, personally, I think that this is the nicest her figure has looked. I know she has a famous derriere, but with it a little smaller, I think she looks more nicely proportioned. You notice an hourglass figure more as opposed to just a really big butt.
Diana Ross pulled off this look circa 1983:
http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2008/07/04/amd_dianaross.jpg
JHo is no Diana Ross. Not in talent, not in looks, and not in body. This woman is completely delusional. And aging badly.
I think Jennifer is a beautiful and curvaceous young woman….Remember, she is a sexy Latina…We should all be so lucky to look like that after having twins!!
that guy at the top picture looks like he’s struggling to hold her up. That bootie must weigh alot. but the bootie doesnt look the same anymore. I hate that song too.. but i do like her I wish she would stop trying so hard though
That poor guy in the 1st pic obviously go the a$$-end of the deal!
“Like a Rhinestone Condom…”
Apologies to Glen Campbell.
You are not fooling anyone J-Lo. It is honestly time that you sit back and maybe take over MTV’s ABDC, or do something where you were once relevant (dance/acting). Honestly her acting chops were always better than her singing. It is time that someone start producing Latino shows/movies,etc. We have hardly anything that is crossing over other than whats on Telemundo, etc. There is a growing market of second generation Chicano’s that someone should be thinking about. After all, after 2010, Latios will be the majority population in this country. I can think of a ton of things for her to stay relevant (as mentioned above). Some stars are too vain in the fact that they want to continue to see themselves in the media limelight. Unless you are Tina Turner and has legs for days, please go and sit down somewhere. This new alta ego/Lola/Sasha thing is old and tired and we are not buying J-Lo.
Her ass is starting to sag. This outfit is not a good look for her.
I couldn’t look away from her boots. They were fantastic.
I think she was drunk.
Michael K on DListed said it best: Her butt looks like partially deflated Whoopee cushions.
She’s got a good body for a woman her age who had twins less than two years ago, but she needs to stop dressing like a twenty-something.
Geez, she should have realized that a performance cannot exactly be photoshopped.
The attention she was hoping to get was like when she wore the Green Versace dress ten years ago to an award show. The attention she is getting is just the opposite, she is no longer in shape to wear an outfit like that, and people are now more aware about how flat her butt has become and how out of shape she is. She should have never tried to pull this look off without being in fantastic shape, which she clearly is not.
hah pont neuf, my sentiments exactly. this has been should stay at home and pay attention to her children and let skeletor make $$ of his crooning and she can do the occasional movie or 2 that I will never watch because her acting is like nails on a chalk board. Dlisted has her in comparison to Silence of the Lamb’s buffalo bill when he dances around naked in his room and it made me spit my coffee this morning. a must see!
she doesnt even look that bad-I mean, she isnt fat, she is in shape and has a good figure. it is her consistent desperation that is the real problem here-she is 41 and has not figured out a way to reinvent herself a la madonna. she is truly pathetic.
Looks like she was going for Britney Spears in ‘Toxic’ and ended up as Paula Abdul at the VMA’s doing ‘Vibeology’ (it’s on Youtube,can I link here?) Anyway the costume was tacky to say the least.
And how bad is it when you have to remind the audience that the last time you were relevant was a decade ago?
Ugh, RETIRE ALREADY! And take Skeletor with you.
Looks like JLo got the “Emperor’s Clothes” treatment, her stylist must really dislike the woman if he/she suggested she wear this. It was very unbecoming.
I’m not hating on her husband, because I like him and he can sing, but this chick really needs to go home already. The song is heinous and the outfit was atrocious. She just needs to pack up and go home.
No one will probably care about the face-in-the-crotch grinding because Jennifer isn’t as relevant as Adam anymore. Everyone had high hopes for Adam (except for myself) so it was a disappointment to see him resort to skankiness like that.
I won’t watch her preformance because I don’t want to watch anyone grind their crotch into someone’s face-gay or straight! Female or male!
Her body isn’t bad, but where is her stylist? She has a specific body type and should know that certain stuff doesn’t look great on her. I mean just the other day she was in a denim jumpsuit that was a size too small. The buttons were about to pop off.
yes J-Low, go home and be a mother to your children while they still need you, WE DON´T!
I am sure JLo woke up yesterday morning, hungover as all hell, thinking….”OMFG I was so wasted last night I forgot to put the rest of my outfit on!!!”
she is lively and entertains well…
When you dress like this at 41 it only makes you look older. She’s a pretty woman with a beautiful bod and she should know better already. So many women over 40 look hot and don’t have to resort to the cameltoe express.
What about when JLo went to the Oscars after giving birth in a backless dress with fat rolls on her back.
She has no class, and I’m sure she chose this horrible outfit.
@GracieXDoes: So funny you should call me “sister,” cause my sis is a lesbian, so that’s why i have no problem speaking my mind w/o prejudice. No it’s not about sexual orientation, but still, I get tired of women being the only gender that the media deems as appealing or useful as a marketing tool. I would like to see some more hot hetero males is all. I’m all for equal objecification. Alas, this has been going on for eons, so why i even bother to complain is beyond me.
And to you, dear WTF?!?, a self-confirmed connoiseur of talent i see, i don’t care how you give props to your Lady GaGa, whether it be “actual” talent (purely subjective mind you) and “excellent sense of ridiculous” (this i can’t help but agree) does she still have to walk around putting the streetwalkers to shame? I mean, she is forcing the pros to up their game walking around with her ass hanging out like that, so, sorry if i just can’t see the artistic message gettin’ all blurred behind the Madonna-esque nudity and shocking max factors.
She always pulls the “must reveal my tits” fashion sense when her career needs a boost. Remember her with Diddy in the early nineties wearing the dress that plunged down to her pubes? Remember her as a presenter at the Oscars in a dress with a completely see-through top that showed everything and they had to scramble to film her only from the neck up? Completely tacky, tactless and one of the worst attention-whores in history.
I couldn’t stop looking at her face! It looked so stiff and strange, as if she’d had a lot of filler injections and maybe some Botox too.
I think they were trying to make her look young and instead it made her look older.
I am Latina and I’m emarrased if someone thinks she’s representing us. I never thought she had any talent and she would be off the radar by now. As I stated before, she’s the queen of “look at me” but there’s nothing to look at anymore. She’s so desperate for attention she was actually hanging out with TomCat LOL
She is a has-been that made money by flaunting her asset and that’s it. Unfortunately nowadays people become famous by showing their body parts or because they are good looking and not because of talent.
Hey JLo you should really consider becoming Jenny from the block and go back to Brooklyn or wherever you came from
Wow, who cares about imagination
wow, this makes the adam lambert thing sooo funny, and obvious. all of those people saying it wasn’t about the kiss (which was blurred out later, while a female kiss wasn’t) but that the crotch thrust was the gross part, and of course they didn’t want to see anybody do it, it had nothing to do with the fact that he was gay! nobody is up in arms about it this time, funny eh?
and don’t say it was about expectations, just because people have higher hopes for somebody means they have different rules? I don’t think so, hypocrisy at its best
How could Jennifer Lopez and others possibly think she looked good in that body suit??? I would love to hear a critical and honest comment from the fashion guy of the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Tim from Project Runway, or anyone else from the fashion industry!
The only good thing about that outfit is that it will help any woman feel better about her body after viewing J Lo’s in that outfit! J Lo is an attrative woman, but that outfit did nothing to enhance her physique!
The sad thing is that JLo still has a good body for being 40 and having young children. That catsuit was unflattering as hell. I know this will sound agist, but she should leave that style to the the younger skanks in the music industry. I wish she would have style that would reflect, as the very least that she’s a little older now, even if she has no musical growth. I think her best bet is to wear something sexy but for God’s sake, leave SOMETHING to the imagination. Wear something that will flatter a body part (other than her ass), and keep other parts covered.
The performance was pathetic as was the outfit.
I dont think it has anything to do with age…. but bodytype. Beyonce and Rhianna couldnt pull it off either. Neither one of them has a great figure…..but Madonna could.
Thank you all. I have been puzzling over this for days. F’ugly outfit and low production (and musical) value performance. I am not one to kvetch about others usually, and I think J-Lo has a great body. I am fascinated by her, as are many. But J-Lo did herself an extreme disservice with this whole performance. She looked like a lizard with a trash bag on. Mistake on many levels, to say the least.
how can a mum wear this?? am ABSOLUTELY disappointed.
The guy that’s carrying her in the first picture looks like he’s on the verge of getting a hernia!! It looks like someone else’s hand is trying to hold him up as well, haha!!
Im with you, kaiser. She needs to grow old gracefully. Ahh, my eyes! Eeeeeeeew
“JHo is no Diana Ross. Not in talent, not in looks, and not in body. This woman is completely delusional. And aging badly.”
I’m no fan of JLo nor do I think that oufit flatters her at all…but Diana Ross? Really? She is surely one of the most overrated singers of our time. And even though I dislike both Ross and Lopez, there’s no question that Lopez has a far better body and prettier face than Ross ever had, even at her peak.
This is just a pathetic cry for attention.
First off, I think she looks great – there is no possible conceivable way she could be called fat our out of shape. That is irrelevant to the discussion, as is whether or not she has children or how old she is. People have their funny opinions about what is ‘proper’ or ‘sexy’ and it has been pretty hysterical reading this thread because its been so illustrative of that.
The suit looked cheap the second she turned around and it had that stupid zipper straight up the back – they could have done some nice sequin work to hide it for heaven’s sake. And her breasts appeared to be squashed into a strange shape that defied the laws of physics. And she has no talent for singing or songwriting. That is what made it cringe worthy IMO.
I think most of us agreee that the desperation issue is key here.
Just stop Jennifer. For your sake and the sake of the children you are raising. They will pay for this in the end, when their peers are making jokes about their mother and her desperate measures.
Memo to J Lo…it’s over….move on.
J Lo looked absolutely fabulous and I am not even a fan. She looked gorgeous and everyone in New York agreed obviously out where you live you are more comfortable in your baggy jeans and tee shirts so comfy hiding your fat ness. you just wish you could look like this. as long as she can wear it please flaunt it, with taste as she did. i know of no man that looks as good at 40 there is so much envy out there
God this is just like when MARIAH CAREY went all crazy in 2000 and had to take a “break” after she tried to compete with the new kids(Xtina, Britney Spears)
on the billboard charts.
Wonder if Jlo will punch Miley in the eye? Oh what am I saying? Miley is already out! Ya guess she partied in the USA a bit too much. She’s over.
To the person above. No the crowd did not agree. You really should Youtube it b/c you can clearly here laughter and see people not giving a shit that she’s on the stage.
Ya look it up you DLjLo
Is this story hitting too close to home for
ya?
It’s ok if you really think the rest of the world wears nothing but baggy jeans, it just goes with you thinking JLO looked good and we’re all jealous.
tata
Why do we care so much that JLo wore a bad outfit? She has a great body, she wore a cheap looking outfit and voila – here we all are having a conniption and analyzing the “fat” on her back.
The standards we put on women are pathetic. If this were some famous dude in an unfortunate outfit the effect would not be nearly the same.
THERE ARE MANY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN THAT LOOK FANTASTIC AT 40 ..JENNIER ANNISTON WOULD HAVE ROCKED THAT OUTFIT..AND IS 40..IT IS JUST THAT LOPEZ WAS IN GOOD SHAPE BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO WEAR THAT..SHE WOULD HAVE LOOKED VERY GOOD IN SOMETHING ELSE.
AGE IS NOT THE PROBLEM>HOW YOU AGE IS There are so many women at 40 that would have rocked that outfit!!..it is just Jennifer was not one of them for this particular outfit..I hate to say this I am 47 run marathons
and have zero fat on me and the body of an 18 year old.I could have worn that and looked AMAZING!!!..Courtney Cox could Anniston..and a million other 40 year old and up woman .just Jennifer after 2 children not quite ready may not be any more after 2 kids ..if she did not have the twins yes she could have rocked it..even though I could have rocked it at 47 better than an 18 year old ..I would not have worn that outfit in public as there were children there and other womens husbands>>age is not the problem how you age is
My wife purchased a brand new one for my home. However I’m having some problems and I am looking for help.
are you people crazy? she looks fantastic in that outfit.
I wanted to bite my tv screen !
