Jennifer Lopez closed out Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda celebrations in Taormina, Sicily, with a high-energy performance on Thursday night. While the singer is known for commanding the stage, it was her daring outfit that sparked the biggest conversation online.
The Office Romance actress performed in a lingerie-inspired ensemble featuring a structured lace corset with sheer paneling, attached garter straps, and matching stockings. Gold hardware details embellished the bodice, while black ankle boots completed the look. She wore her highlighted hair down in loose waves.

Jennifer Lopez Slammed For Lingerie Outfit On Stage
Before taking the stage, the 56-year-old made a dramatic entrance in a floor-length gold embroidered cape paired with a regal gold crown, embracing the opulent theme of the evening.
If you’re looking to recreate her look without the couture price tag, a similar aesthetic can be achieved with the Gisela Bodysuit from Revolve ($398), paired with sheer tights from Calzedonia.
Not everyone loved the stage outfit, however. After clips from the performance went viral on social media, fans flooded the comments with mixed reactions.
“Is it only me that I find all this so tacky???” one person wrote.
“Even if you have the most amazing body at this age, why dress tacky?” another commented.
Others added, “The outfit & choreography doesn’t do it for me here. It’s ok if you need to change things up as you age,” “Midlife crisis big time!!!” “Not a good look,” and “Disgusting to wear that in a music show… looks cheap to me.”
Lopez has frequently generated headlines for her revealing performance looks throughout her career, from her Las Vegas residency to award show appearances and even private performances for high-profile events.
Despite the online criticism, the mom of two had a different message for the audience during the show when she opened up about what she actually finds attractive in a partner.

J.Lo On What Makes A Man 'Attractive'
"But you know what really makes a man attractive? It's not the watch. It's not the car. It's not the private jet. It really isn't, although that's nice," she told the crowd.
"It's nice. It's seeing them make the bed in the morning or wash the dishes for you when you're tired at night. That's what's sexy. Now that's what I call sexy."
"'Cause ladies, you know, we do all the things. We do all the things," she added, drawing laughs and applause from the audience, according to People.
Lopez has spoken candidly in recent months about how her outlook on relationships has evolved following her 2024 divorce from Ben Affleck.
During an appearance on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show, she reflected on the personal work she put in after the split. "When I got divorced this last time, it was the best thing that ever happened to me," she said.
"Because it really made me journey into—I mean, I had a religious coach. I had a therapist, a couple's therapist, an individual therapist. I had a coach to understand addiction. I had everything. I was like, 'I'm gonna f---in' figure this s--- out if it kills me.'"
She continued, "What I learned, it's not that I'm not lovable—it's that they're not capable... They don't have it in them. And they gave me what they had. They gave me all of it, every time. All the rings, all the things I could ever want. The houses, the rings, the marriage. All of it. But..."
