Jennifer Lopez bares washboard abs in racy flesh-flashing gown as she poses solo at Wicked premiere
Jennifer Lopez bared her washboard abs in a peekaboo dress at the world premiere of the Wicked movie in Los Angeles on Saturday.
JLo’s gown featured a tantalizingly high thigh-slit that allowed her to flash one of her statuesque dancer’s legs as she posed for the cameras.
Balancing on a towering pair of stilettos, the Jenny From The Block hitmaker gathered her caramel locks into an elegant updo.
Bringing out her agelessly luminous complexion with makeup, she garnished the look with jewelry by the renowned Indian designer Sabyasachi.
JLo brought the ensemble together with a silver clutch that gleamed under the lights at the premiere of the first instalment of the two-part Wicked film.
Based on a novel by Gregory Maguire, the 2003 Broadway musical Wicked told the backstory of the Wicked Witch Of The West from The Wizard Of Oz.
In the movies, Cynthia Erivo will play the title character, with Ariana Grande as her best friend Galinda, who later becomes Glinda The Good Witch Of The North.
She herself is currently working on a Broadway adaptation of her own – a movie of the 1990s musical Kiss Of The Spider Woman, with a score by the songwriting team Fred Ebb and John Kander of Cabaret and Chicago fame.
Her latest sighting comes after she said canceling her summer tour earlier this year was the ‘best thing she’d ever done’ amid her split from Ben.
The songstress pulled the plug on her This Is Me… Live concerts in May, telling fans at the time she was ‘heartsick and devastated’ to ‘let them down’, before later confirming in divorce documents that the couple had split the previous month.
A statement at the time read that Jennifer was retreating from the spotlight ‘to be with her children’ and speaking on Friday’s Graham Norton show she said: ‘I took the summer off to be home with the kids, which is the best thing I have ever done’.
