Jennifer Lopez’s explosive appearance at a private event in India has become the talk of the internet. The center of the controversy? A series of sizzling stage costumes that some found daring — and others, downright disrespectful.
In the heart of Udaipur, India, amid palatial luxury and a parade of elites, Jennifer Lopez, 56, delivered a headlining act that has left jaws on the floor — and not just for her powerhouse vocals.
Lopez performed over the weekend for newlyweds Netra Mantena and Vamsi Gadiraju as part of a multi-day, no-expense-spared wedding celebration.
Her set featured high-octane choreography, stage theatrics, and iconic hits, all delivered with the full-throttle glamor that’s defined her decades-long career.
Videos from the event show the crowd cheering wildly, their hands raised high as J.Lo commanded the stage with the intensity of a Super Bowl halftime show — but the real drama was brewing far from Udaipur.
Online Critics Slam Her ‘Tacky’ and ‘Inappropriate’ Stagewear
As clips of the performance surfaced online, so did waves of backlash, with viewers pouncing on Lopez’s daring wardrobe choices.
“What an inappropriate dress. It’s a wedding for crying out loud!” one Instagram viewer fired off.
“Good grief. Totally inappropriate,” another snapped.
“Still dressed so provocatively for her age…” one person sneered.
“Tacky,” another said.
Others broke down the fashion details:
“That is so unflattering.”
“That is a tight, color bodysuit with decoration on it…”
“The front part of the leotard is too narrow… not flattering at all.”
“Nice costume choices to perform at a wedding 🙄 how appropriate.”
But fans defended her:
“Her body has always been amazing! 🤩🔥😍😮❤️”
From Latex and Leather to Mirrored Gold: Her Looks Lit up the Night
One of the most talked-about outfits was a black latex-effect cutout bodysuit layered over a nude base, slashed across the hips, thighs, and abdomen. She paired it with a cropped leather jacket and wore her hair loose down her back.
Another bold look featured a gold mirror-tile bodysuit with a plunging neckline, sculpted cups, and sheer tights, paired with matching thigh-high mirrored boots.
She also wore a silver sequin bodysuit with rhinestone boots, a bedazzled newsboy cap, and a long silver fringe coat that shimmered dramatically as she danced.
Each look was paired with full glam makeup — smoky eyes, champagne highlight, and a polished neutral lip.
Two Million Reasons to Bring the Heat
Lopez’s wardrobe matched the scale of the event — and the paycheck.
Her performance reportedly carried a $2 million price tag.
The wedding gig came during a whirlwind season for Lopez, who has dominated headlines with live shows, fashion moments, and film buzz.
Recently, she turned heads in a red-hot ensemble while filming her new movie The Last Mrs. Parrish, with many comparing her look to Melania Trump.

She accessorized with leather gloves, oversized sunglasses, a crocodile clutch, a vintage brooch, and pointed-toe houndstooth stilettos.
Fans quickly flooded social media:

Promo Turns Personal: Lopez Blindsided on ‘Today’ Show

During what seemed like a normal interview, host Craig Melvin abruptly mentioned her finalized divorce from Ben Affleck.
Caught off guard, she laughed sharply and said, “There you go. Look at this guy!”
However, she acknowledged Affleck’s crucial role in getting the movie made:
“If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have got made… It helped me survive a difficult moment in my personal life.”

Just days after the awkward interview, Lopez and Affleck appeared together on the red carpet for the film’s New York premiere.
Lopez stunned in a sheer floral-embroidered gown with a sculpted black corset, while Affleck stood by her side in a dark blue suit.
Affleck later said:
“I wouldn’t dream of not being here. This is the kind of role Jennifer has wanted her whole career. She’s fabulous.”
