Jennifer Lopez didn’t let anything like a little wardrobe malfunction upset her performance in Warsaw on Friday.
The artist, 56, who has split from her record label, was in the middle of a wardrobe change when she was called back out on the stage so the crowd could sing Happy Birthday to her.
The singer, who is traveling on her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour, was wearing a gold sequined triangle bikini top and fiddling with her gold fringe skirt when she came out on stage.
A backup dancer got behind her to attach it, and it seemed to work, for a couple of seconds at least.
As she walked across the stage saying ‘Thank you Warsaw,’ the flimsy garment dropped to the floor.
Lopez looked shocked for a second, but quickly recovered and took a sort of victory lap around the stage in her high waist gold lamé bottom and sparkling boots.
She tried to attach it again, with the help of the dancer, as her crew broke out into the Stevie Wonder hit Happy Birthday.
Wonder originally wrote the song to advocate for the establishment of a holiday honoring the late civil rights legend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The Jenny on the Block singer doubled over laughing as her helper struggled, again, to attach the hooks on the skirt.
As the song concluded she grabbed the offending piece of clothing and threw it into the crowd.
‘I’m glad that they reinforced that costume,’ the MTV Video Music Award winner said.
‘I’m glad I had underwear on,’ she admitted, adding, ‘I don’t usually wear underwear.’
She also told the person who caught the skirt, ‘you can keep it. I don’t want it back.’
Fans who saw the video on YouTube were eager to share their good wishes and admiration for the Billboard Icon Award winner.
‘Unstoppable Force ! Happy Birthday Icon, wrote one admirer, and then using some of JLo’s own words to describe the situation. ‘One of my favourite quote of JLo is failure isn’t falling down flat on your face failure is stopping !!!’
‘Fantastic, thank you for the surprise,’ wrote another.
JLo was set to perform in Bucharest on Sunday night and then take off for Abu Dhabi.
The tour was scheduled to conclude in Almaty in Kazakhstan on August 10.
