Jennifer Lopez, at 56, has responded to years of criticism regarding her fashion choices with a bold and playful retort during the opening night of her Las Vegas residency, "Up All Night: Live In Vegas". Addressing the audience at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on December 30, 2025, Lopez took a moment to address the comments she frequently encounters about her image.

Lopez began by acknowledging the humor she finds in some of the remarks. She then listed some of the common criticisms, including "Why does she smile when she takes pictures like that? Why does she always dress that way? Why doesn't she dress her age?". The singer then delivered a confident response, shimmying and declaring, "If you had this booty, you'd be naked too". This remark drew cheers and applause from the audience, with one fan heard shouting, "JLo, you be you, we love you".

The Las Vegas residency, which marks Lopez's second stint on the strip, is described as a vibrant performance that showcases her biggest hits alongside renditions of Broadway classics. The show is divided into four acts, akin to a Broadway production. Lopez's wardrobe for the residency features a range of eye-catching costumes, including a shimmering silver gemstone encrusted bodysuit, a baby pink lacy bodysuit with sheer panelling, and a take on the classic tuxedo.

While many fans have praised Lopez's confident response and physique, some critics suggest that the backlash she has faced in recent years goes beyond her body or stage costumes. Following the release of her self-funded documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, earlier this year, Lopez faced scrutiny for what some viewers perceived as an overly polished and insular portrayal of her life.

Despite the criticism, Lopez remains focused on her artistic endeavors. In an interview with Interview magazine, the star emphasized the importance of doing work that inspires her, regardless of commercial success. She also acknowledged that while she isn't immune to hurtful comments, she doesn't take social media as seriously as others, having been in the public eye since before its rise. Lopez asserted, "I know I'm a good person. I know I'm a good mom. I know who my friends are," highlighting her grounded perspective amidst the chaos of celebrity life.
