Mar. 15, 2025

Jennifer Lopez’s comeback to the stage was one of epic proportions.

During the 45th anniversary runway show, the “Can’t Get Enough” singer surprised fans with a nearlyeight-minute-long theatrical performancethat began with her singing “I Will Survive" on a suspended platform trimmed with feathers. Lopez’s medley also included her classic hits, “On the Floor,” “Let’s Get Loud” and “Waiting for Tonight.”

In true J.Lo fashion, Lopez wore a sparkly ensemble that could not be missed.

Her look consisted of a scintillating sequin fringe cape that was replaced with a furry coat midway through the sequence, only for that to be tossed aside to unveil her shimmery plunging, high-cut bodysuit underneath. At one point she even put on a sheer black feathery cape and matching hat, which she dramatically took off. She nailed her choreography in a pair of silver folder-over heeled boots.
