Global superstar Jennifer Lopez recently took the stage at the multi-million dollar wedding of Netra Mantena and Vamsi Gadiraju in India, but it was her stage attire that captured as much attention as her performance. The event, held near the iconic Taj Lake Palace, was a spectacle of luxury with an estimated cost of $6.7 million, a budget that accommodated a performance by the renowned singer. However, the shiny leotard and flesh-toned stockings she wore for one of her sets divided opinion among social media users and spectators.
While the wedding guests, including Bollywood celebrities and Donald Trump Jr., appeared to be enthusiastically dancing along, the online reaction was less uniformly positive. Critics were quick to voice their disapproval, with some questioning the choice of outfit and others labeling it a “vulgar dress” and a “massive cultural sensitivity fail.” The critique centered on whether the revealing nature of the performance wear was appropriate for a wedding celebration, even one of such opulent scale.

Despite the criticism, Lopez had a strong contingent of defenders. Many fans rushed to praise her look, calling her “absolutely stunning” and commending the “incredible” performance. They pointed to her long-standing career and iconic style, noting that her bold and glamorous stage costumes are a signature part of her brand. The divided response highlights a recurring debate about fashion, performance, and context, proving that even a superstar like J.Lo can’t please everyone.
