How Did J.Lo Ever Wear That Outfit?

By Jo Piazza Posted Jan 6th 2010 05:00PM

Contrary to popular belief Jennifer Lopez did seek out opinions on her New Years cat suit before she suited up. According to People.com J-Lo asked her longtime makeup artist Scott Barnes whether it was too much (We can't imagine anyone telling J-Lo the truth about that without the threat of water boarding). She asked her hubby Marc Anthony and he also approved. But Marc was having his own style issues that night. Apparently no one told him that wearing sunglasses after sundown only works if you're Jack Nicholson.

Was Jenny just asking the wrong kids on the block for their opinion? We sure wish she had asked ours before she squeezed into the sparkly body condom. 73 percent of PopEater's 46,000 voters hated it! And the wisdom of crowds is never wrong. After the jump, PopEater examines the outfit.

We asked our experts what they thought, because frankly, who relies on their hubby and makeup artist's opinion before going on national television to ring in a new decade? It's like relying on your mom to tell you that you look pretty during puberty.

One train of thought is that now that Jenny has pushed 40, she's tryin' to keep up with the youngsters and their crazy fashion choices (a la Gaga's no-pants policy for 2009).

"Lopez has been out of the game for some time, and stepping back into a pop world now dominated by Lady Gagas and Rihannas requires more than just a song and dance to sell singles," said StyleList's Marissa Gold

But can one-upmanship really explain away a onesie on New Years?

"Everyone is trying to outdo each other now. These stars realize they can't be naked so they resort to this, even though body suits are not flattering and are not cool," said celebrity stylist Mary Alice Stephenson. "Cher is really the only one who could get away with it."

Beyond trying to best girls half her age, Stephenson believes J-Lo may be in a battle with herself to try to remain relevant.

"When stars have to push it to get attention they lose their filter about what looks OK and what does not. The bottom line is this is keeping her in the news and even though it might not be the attention she was hoping for it is attention nonetheless," Stephenson said.

The question that remains is how did J-Lo manage to get herself into the suit. Did she have help? Did Max and Emme each grab a leg and stuff. PopWrap's Ryan Brockington has the answer:

"With a chorizo maker!"

What in the world was J-Lo thinking when she put on that outfit and went on stage; good lord she not no 20 year old. Then she put her rear-end toward the audience, was she trying to say please look at my butt, don't I look great. Listen Jen I know you just had twins and you do look good but no in that outfit. Please act and dress for your age.

She always looks terrific regardless of what she's wearing.

I thought she looked fabulous. I don't know of any 20 year olds that look as good as JLo did on New Year's Eve. More power to her.

Jenny! She know better! I have No idea what you were thinking! The glitter probably had you mesmerized! She looked like a terribly shaven cat! Jenny need's to get back in the gym and do thousand (s) of squats because her ASS is saggin...sitting/hanging onto the back of her legs!

By ALEXISS

Thank You,

That is not a black women's butt.
Her but has gone south. It's not around,or heart shape.
Her stomach looks like she might need to use the bathroom.

J Lo, I am puertorrican too. And I know about our butts. They could be beautiful when we are young and before pregnancy, afterwards, hey, they can drag all the way down to our ankles. I think a lot of exercise and clothes that are more forgiving to any issues of our bodies would be a lot better. And anyway, you have lots of talents, please concentrate on those talents, work on them to make them even better, and use them to get your career back in track, instead of those horrible outfits that do not do any favors to your body. Next time you want an opinion on an outfit, find somebody that will tell you the truth, and not tell you what you want to hear. That person will do you a much better favor, and will have your well being in her/his heart. Who could that person be? Maybe your mom, or sisters. Somebody that is not afraid of telling the truth.

Good luck.

oh my gooodneesss, its hideous, the gathering in the back looks like a butt garter

By cyndi

I can't imagine what she was thinking! That suit would have been ugly on anyone, no matter what age. Jennifer's got a great body, but she apparently doesn't have any taste or fashion sense. And BTW, that thing reminds me of those undergarments that old fat ladies wear under clothes to make themselves look 'slim and trim'. It squeezes in the cellulite. You're supposed to wear it under your clothes, Jennifer!
