Jennifer Lopez drew sharp criticism from Indian social media users after performing in a daring, skin-baring ensemble at an extravagant wedding celebration for Netra Mantena, daughter of pharmaceutical tycoon Rama Raju Mantena, and entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju.
The 56-year-old superstar reportedly pocketed $2 million simply to appear and sing a handful of songs amid swirling wind machines at the opulent three-day event. Video clips quickly went viral, igniting backlash over attire deemed wildly inappropriate for India’s cultural context.
Commenters flooded Instagram, branding the look a “massive cultural-sensitivity fail.” Several compared Lopez’s shimmering bodysuit to something worn by a “stripper,” with one writing, “Nobody told her to get some clothes before the show?”
Others insisted the plunging, high-cut design clashed badly with traditions expected at Indian audiences.
Yet the singer stunned in her chosen glamour: a sparkling gown reimagined as modern take on classic Indian sari, paired with heavyweight necklace, oversized earrings, traditional headpiece, sleek pulled-back hair, and flawless evening makeup.
While some condemned the outfit, defenders praised Lopez’s ageless physique and confidence. “Any 56-year-old who looks THAT good in a bodysuit deserves full freedom,” one fan wrote. “Have mercy, Jenny!”
