Jennifer Lopez handled an onstage wardrobe malfunction like a true pro — and with a sense of humor — during her Up All Night tour stop in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday, July 25.
In front of more than 70,000 fans and while celebrating her 56th birthday, the superstar’s sparkly gold skirt unexpectedly slipped off mid-performance, leaving her standing in just her matching gold underwear, according to Buzzfeed (via Yahoo).
The wardrobe mishap went down as Jennifer Lopez rushed back to the stage mid-costume change while her team and band serenaded her with “Happy Birthday.” She had just slipped into a dazzling gold bralette, fringed miniskirt, full-sleeve gloves, and matching heels when her skirt suddenly gave way.
“Thank you!” Lopez told the crowd. “Thank you, Warsaw!” But as she stepped forward, the skirt came undone. Letting out a quick scream, she looked around, laughed, and said, “I’m out here in my underwear,” before twirling confidently for the audience and adding, “That’s gonna be everywhere!”
A team member tried to fix the skirt, but Lopez decided to own the moment. She tossed the skirt into the crowd and joked, “I’m glad that they reinforced that costume, and I’m glad I had underwear on!”
Fans immediately flooded social media with praise for her reaction. One fan account called her “adorable” and a “pro,” while another added, “life is too short, love how she and her staff [and] the crowd handled it.”
Lopez’s Up All Night tour continues across Europe and Asia, featuring a setlist packed with hits like “On the Floor,” “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “Waiting for Tonight,” and “Let’s Get Loud.” The tour wraps up on August 12 in Sardinia, Italy.
Earlier this month in Barcelona, Lopez also made waves when a fan held up a sign reading “J Lo, Marry Me?” She laughed and responded, “I think I’m done with that. I’ve tried that a few times.”
