Jennifer Lopez Shuts Down Criticism About Dressing Her Age at 56

Jennifer Lopez embodies the essence of feeling fabulous and looking stunning.

At 56, Lopez responded to critics of her sultry outfits during her performance at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for her Las Vegas residency on Thursday, December 30. In a clip that went viral on X, she remarked, “It’s amusing; I do chuckle at some of the things I see because they can be quite funny,” addressing her detractors.

She added, “One comment I noticed was, ‘Why does she always smile with her mouth open in photos?’” Lopez then humorously mimicked the pose as the audience erupted in laughter. “Why does she always do that?” the singer teased.

Confidently shutting down the naysayers, she reflected on the numerous shady remarks she encounters online. “Why does she always dress that way? Why doesn’t she dress her age?” Lopez reiterated, exclaiming, “And I was like, ‘Huh?’”

J. Lo humorously dismissed the trolls who questioned why she is “always naked,” telling the crowd, “If you had this booty, you’d be naked too!”

As the audience cheered her on, Lopez confidently showcased her figure in a daring costume that highlighted her famous curves, swaying as she moved.

Her outfit featured a vibrant lime green bodysuit adorned with beaded details that dangled from her chest and hips. The design was complemented by straps crossing over her torso. She paired the ensemble with lace-up green heels and a full glam look, including dewy skin, long lashes, rosy cheeks, and lined lips. Her caramel-highlighted hair was parted in the middle, styled in a voluminous blowout.

Fans expressed their support for Lopez’s empowering message in the comments section.

“Clock that Miss Lopez, CLOCK THAT!!!!” one user wrote. A second added, “And she was spot on!! Haters gonna hate!” A third commented, “Faaaacts!”

Lopez has consistently rocked sexy looks over the years. Back in 2000, she made headlines by wearing an iconic naked dress at the Grammys. Her Versace gown featured a plunging neckline that extended to her hips, long sleeves, and a sheer, jungle-patterned skirt that revealed her legs. She completed the look with smoky eyeshadow, pink lips, delicate earrings, and a half-up hairstyle with curled brunette ends. Her ensemble went so viral that it directly led to the creation of Google’s image search function.

In 2019, Lopez shared insights about that moment, revealing that her stylist had actually advised against wearing the dress.

“She was against me wearing the dress because she felt, ‘someone’s worn it before,’ and that’s a no-no,” Lopez explained.

“I know people may perceive fashion as frivolous, but it inspires individuals. It creates beautiful moments in the world and influences style,” Lopez added. “One dress can steer the fashion trends for the next decade. It’s amazing how influential fashion statements can be.”
