Jennifer Lopez’s tiny, tight cocktail dress: trashy or classy?

hot_hollywood_14_wenn2818067

Jennifer Lopez was awarded an allegedly prestigious honor last night – she was named Us Weekly’s “Style Icon of the Decade”. Really I think Us Weekly just wanted to host an event and get Jennifer to show up. And show up she did, in this little lace cocktail dress by George Chakra Couture. Ugh. I hate it. Don’t get me wrong, I do think Jennifer knows a lot about fashion, and she’s definitely had some great fashion moments through the past decade, but this was not the too-tight, uncomfortable dress to wear for the honor. Oh, but Jennifer didn’t just show up in a too-tight, too-short dress and pose with her patented open mouth. Us Weekly reports that Jennifer was having so much fun at their sponsored honors that she and Marc Anthony “began playfully dirty dancing.” Did anyone else get that mental image and start laughing? Oh, and Jennifer also had a “dance off” with Leah Remini. What the hell?

US Weekly's Annual Hot Hollywood Party

By the way, I know CB covered part of Jennifer’s “exclusive” interview with Us Weekly earlier this week, but I just wanted to give some of the full quotes. Jennifer told the tabloid, regarding her post-baby body: “I remember my flabby belly hanging out right after I gave birth. I kind of laughed and said to Marc, ‘Look, baby! Isn’t this crazy?’ I just didn’t care. I look back at pictures from that time, and I’m like ‘Oh, god, I was fat. I was still heavy eight months out!’ You get to the point where you’re like, Where am I? What happened to me? I got to get myself together for my kids, you know? They need to know what I really look like.” Ugh. When she says stuff like that, I kind of dislike her.

    The dress is cute but she’s trying WAY too hard.

  2. Chuck says:

    Tiny and tight on JLo equal trashy.

  3. Scout says:

    I would not say “trashy.” It just is not the best look for her. Too short for her legs – makes them look bigger, which makes her look heavier all the way around.

  4. bite me says:

    is skeletor ok, he looks ill, well more so than usual

  5. e says:

    Why does she make that gassy face? It is not sexy.

    And I don’t believe for ONE SECOND that she just didn’t care when she gained weight. She has never looked like she starves herself but she is so vain! She didn’t get her body back for the sake of her kids, she got it back for the sake of her vanity. Which is OK but just admit it!

  6. Empress says:

    I love the dress and think she has been pulling out winners all weeek!

  7. Lady Jane says:

    Trying too hard = not sexy. She is beautiful but why does she try and look like she is about to orgasm in every pic? Just look happy and natural jLo – you are gorgeous!

  8. What evs says:

    Not a good color for her. It washes her out. The glittery stuff on it looks tacky.

  9. CeeCee12 says:

    She comes off as a jerk sometimes. This is one of those sometimes.

    Plus someone needs to tell her to stop opening her mouth in every photo. It makes her look like she is about drool uncontrollably.

  10. dread pirate cuervo says:

    This would look cute on Hannah Montana, not on a 40 year old. Trashy.

  11. TG says:

    Are we sure that is JLo or is that her wax dulplicate stolen from Madame Tussauds?

  12. Marta says:

    Close your mouth, lopez! Gah, she looks trashy

  13. Patrice says:

    God, THAT STUPID FACE SHE ALWAYS MAKES on the red carpet!!!!!! (look at all her red carpet photos, you’ll see…)

    Mouth parted, lip down, eyes squinted. Ugh. I think this is J. Lo’s attempt at being “sexy” and it fails every time. She’s so much prettier than that. Enough with the ridiculous posing!

  14. lucy2 says:

    I hate that stupid open mouth pose, it just looks weird, and hilarious that she’s doing it in every photo.
    The dress is too short and tight on her, looks uncomfortable. When she’s more natural and relaxed she’s very pretty, but when she looks like this, it’s obvious she’s trying to hard.

    And please, her kids don’t care what she looks like! All they care about is being loved and taken care of. She wanted her figure back for her – just admit it!

  15. RHONYC says:

    tsk, tsk…no minis after 40, ladies!

    that means you too:

    sharon stone
    kelli (ny housewife)
    demi moore
    & M-A-R-I-A-H!!!!!

    *eyeroll*
    🙁

  16. Vi says:

    it’d be cute for a disney starlet but it’s not age appropriate

  17. audrey says:

    “Squint eyes…. expose bottom teeth….”
    she looks so silly.

  18. Bella says:

    By looking at these recent pictures I just have one question, so does Kim Kardashian tends to copy J.LO or is J.LO starting to copy Kim Kardashian? Or is it that anyone with too much make-up, way too tight short dresses and weird “sexy” poses can look the same like these two.

  19. RHONYC says:

    con’t.

    AND ‘COUNTESS LUANN’!!!

    i just saw her celebitcy post with her new beau wearin that god-awful dress that screams ‘i’m a divorcee-out-on-the-prowl.

    now miz etiquette should just know damn better!!!

    *triple eyeroll*

  20. Missmilly says:

    She forgets her age……

  21. I don’t like her stupid J.Simp face – all open mouth and wierd. This is awful!

  22. kelbear says:

    Really like the dress but she just cannot work the red carpet anymore. Those faces are hideous!

  23. …and so tight it give her back fat! SMACK!

  24. bored says:

    I think she’s wearing some kind of uncomfortable body cinching girdle thing underneath the dress. Look at how the flesh is popping out of her armpit in the first pic. Makes the too small dress look even more like a burst sausage. I think she has that weird expression because she’s probably not very comfortable.
    She should just gone with something more complimentary.

  25. original kate says:

    too tight, too short and too pink. she looks like a vienna sausage on heels.

  26. isabelle says:

    Tight dress? How about that tight face?

  27. Just a Poster says:

    umm she can’t move her face!

    I’m thinking she went bonkers for botox. She can’t even smile!

  28. freckles says:

    Yeahhh… I think that face is her struggling to breathe, that dress (and whatever support garment she’s wearing under it) is so tight you KNOW she cant expand her ribcage past like 2 or 3 inches.

    I think my standards are different from the other posters here. If JLo is wearing it… 99% chance of being trashy.

  29. Cheyenne says:

    JMO, but if she old enough to need botox, she is too damn old to be wearing that dress.

  30. cara says:

    I’m more offended by the face she’s making then her dress!!!!

    And stylish….maybe if you’re a guido!!!! (am I the only one who remembers that video w/chris jud OR the llcoolj one b/c her outfits in both = Guido style)

  31. hateyoujlo says:

    It’s not trashy, but this woman has always been greasy no matter what.
    Yeah, trying too hard…that’s just coz she can’t seem to accept the fact that she’s a “has been” with an ugly skeletor of a husband…boo hoo…give it up J.Hoe…it’s over

  32. Jackson says:

    The dress itself is cute, but it is way too tight on her and she’s way too big on top for it to look right on her. Also, seems a little too ‘young’ for her. It’d work great on a younger, 20-something and/or someone less ….um…busty.

  33. Ana says:

    I LOVE the dress. Just not on her. Her back fat is being squeezed out. Who helped her into that dress and told her she looked awesome?

    The lip liner does succeed in making her look like she got her lips done…at first glance. People need to learn to close their mouths! Geez.

  34. working says:

    Her FACE… Ahhh make it stop!

  35. nAynAy says:

    That dress is cute, but perhaps on someone much younger than Jennifer. Also, what is up with her porno face in the last picture.

  36. Ellen Smith says:

    She’s trashy, so anything she puts on will be trashy. You can’t class up trailer trash.

  37. Ka says:

    If she only knew that she looks terrible squinting her eyes and opening her mounth…

  38. Exiled says:

    That 1st pic looks like Tila Tequila, or however you spell that fame who*e’s name.

  39. Maritza says:

    I totally agree with Dread. That dress looks good on a teenager not a 40 yr old.

  40. Squirrel says:

    Don’t be fooled by the age that she got
    she’d still she’d still wear a glitzy frock
    Used to sing a little now she blings a lot
    wish she’d just go back where she came from

  41. Kat says:

    You can always trust J.Lo to bring the tranny hooker mess look wherever she goes.

  42. Sumodo1 says:

    Mutton dressed as lamb.

  43. ab says:

    bella: you took the words out of my mouth! she looks like kim-k in the pic and thats not a good look for both the ladies…

  44. Cecizahn says:

    Dress…cute. But what’s up with her face, she looks like she had some nip tuck, a lifting or something.

  45. CT says:

    Yes, what is up with the open mouth?

  46. moo says:

    I HATE HER STUPID POSING FACE!!!!!!!

  47. Lilias says:

    That dress would be ugly no matter who wore it-lace caged in waffle-pattern glitter tape. Blech.

    Her open-mouth, I’m-so-sexy-I-can-barely-breathe pose is OLD. Jennifer, darling, stop it. At this point she just looks like she’s trying to breathe in whatever too-tight nonsense she’s squeezed herself into.

  48. Tess says:

    Short, shiny, and tight with a bodice you could play checkers on….hmmmm, my guess would be trashy.

  49. Katija says:

    FACE LIFT!

  50. Ron says:

    Love the dress–enough with the Marilyn Monroe mouth. J-Lo, you are currently 5 years older than she was when she died. At fortysomething it looks tired.

  51. jover says:

    Really, is US Weekly into self-parody. JHO as style icon for the decade. The editors must have been bedazzled by the shimmer on the Jr. high school Christmas break dance dress, or was it the sexiness of the open mouth pose. Was no-one else available. This is what you do when you have no musical talent and no amount of practice will give you – you show up at faux events that cater to your self-delusion.

  52. bubbs says:

    BUSTED FACE

  53. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Who brought her back? I didn’t miss her, did you?

  54. Victoria says:

    She’s wearing some super tight girdle that has her “girls” cinched up to her chin. “Dont exhale!” And I do not appreciate getting a mental image of these two mules dirty dancing! Blech!

  55. Denver Hotel says:

    I like the dress, but maybe it’s too tiny for her? She looks without breath in it…

  56. moi says:

    her “sexy” face makes me want to hang myself with wax dental floss.

  57. Novaraen says:

    You can tell that dress is super tight…she looks like she is holding in a giant fart.

    Not sexy.

  58. Ruffian9 says:

    The dress is fine. Lopez, knock it off already with the “I’m so sexy, f**k me now” face. You look ridiculous.

  59. Gigohead says:

    I’m with everyone here, what is up with her FACE? Did she get something lifted that she can’t close her mouth?

  60. Vicky Corday says:

    She just had some major facial plastic surgery. Looks like a boob job as well.

  61. Crash2GO2 says:

    Maybe she had botox done around her mouth and now she can’t close it. Seriously, she looks like she’s about to drool. (They do do that for lines around the lips).

  62. Dhavy says:

    @Bella

    KK did say she wanted to be like JLo (that explains it, doesn’t it?)

    That dress can be pulled off by someone like Rihanna not a 40 yr old who think she’s in her 20s and makes faces like a person that just got punched in the lip

  63. daisy says:

    whats with the porno mouth and f me eyes?

  64. CB Rawks says:

    “she and Marc Anthony “began playfully dirty dancing.” Did anyone else get that mental image and start laughing?”

    Actually that tripped my gag reflex.

  65. benny says:

    If she were 20 years younger, that dress would be cute. But as it is, she looks too desperate, and it’s sad.

    And does she have sinus problems or something? Why is she always breathing through her open mouth?

  66. n says:

    the dress is cute but doens’t really fit her anymore now that she’s much older. it fits the like of hayden p. and what’s up with the open mouth?

  67. Camille says:

    I think her hair and makeup look cute, but that dress is wayyyy too short. Wouldn’t matter how old the person is wearing it because that dress is just too short to be classy. Would be another story if this was a costume she was wearing for a concert though.

  68. angela says:

    Homegirl needs to go a size up.

  69. crab says:

    It’s the “I smell shit” look!!

  70. Majosha says:

    Victoria: LMAO! That was my reaction, too. B-A-R-F

  71. lolo says:

    she looks like a cheap whore with that slutty open mouth and her too short dress.

  72. Ashley says:

    The dress belongs on a 20 year old. That and she looks like a sausage. Can she even breath in that thing?

  73. paranel says:

    Trashy or classy? depends who wears it. On her is def trashy because she is 42 and full figure at that. This best suits a younger leaner body.

  74. mary says:

    Dearie dearie me. God Bless her. Its far too tight the lump thing under her arm?- like a burst sausage that is so right. Is it that they have to try and keep up the with the younger competition? Poor woman.

  75. hardatwurk says:

    The dress is cute but on someone younger . She is trying WAY too hard with the lip posing!!

  76. mhm says:

    She tries to hard to be sexy now an’ days.

  77. abendkleider says:

    nice dress, wrong woman

  78. fhiky says:

    wrong woman?u wrong….

  79. Ray Ban says:

    She tries to hard to be sexy now an’ days.

  80. katie says:

    What the hell is she thinking she looks far too young and the dress itself does look tight on her pose dont really care why shes doing that for and her latest singles on the floor and im into you or whatever its called are both a load of crap!!.The best song she done was love dont cost a thing.
