J.Lo’s AMA Hosting Gig: Fashion Flop or Fabulous?
Jennifer Lopez hosted this year’s American Music Awards, dazzling the audience with eight different outfits. However, her fashion choices sparked a mixed reaction online, with some praising her glamour while others criticized her looks.
The 2025 AMAs, held on May 26th in Las Vegas, marked the show’s return after a two-year hiatus. While the event was anticipated, it fell short of expectations for many, with a noticeable absence of major music acts. Despite J.Lo’s energetic performance, which included a dance number to hits by nominated artists, the show was criticized for its lackluster elements.
Lopez, a Bronx native, showcased a variety of outfits throughout the evening, ranging from a sparkling bodysuit with dark fabric accents to a silver halter gown with a revealing leg slit and blue cape. One of her final dresses, a flowing light brown gown with cutouts, received positive feedback. However, many of her other looks were met with criticism online.
Reddit users voiced their opinions, with some expressing disappointment in her fashion choices. Comments ranged from “How is it possible these all look awful?!”
to “[Eight] outfits and not a single one serving.” While some users appreciated a few of the simpler dresses, the overall consensus was that most were “too much.”
Some suggested that fewer, more flattering choices would have made a stronger impact.
While Lopez has not publicly responded to the criticism, the show’s organizers are likely considering ways to improve the event for next year, following the lukewarm reception this year.
