Jennifer Lopez’s comeback to the stage was one of epic proportions.
The singer, actress and producer, 55, was among the stars taking the catwalk by storm at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Nov. 13.
During the 45th anniversary runway show, the “Can’t Get Enough” singer surprised fans with a nearly eight-minute-long theatrical performance that began with her singing “I Will Survive” on a suspended platform trimmed with feathers. Lopez’s medley also included her classic hits, “On the Floor,” “Let’s Get Loud” and “Waiting for Tonight.”
In true J.Lo fashion, Lopez wore a sparkly ensemble that could not be missed.
Her look consisted of a scintillating sequin fringe cape that was replaced with a furry coat midway through the sequence, only for that to be tossed aside to unveil her shimmery plunging, high-cut bodysuit underneath. At one point she even put on a sheer black feathery cape and matching hat, which she dramatically took off. She nailed her choreography in a pair of silver folder-over heeled boots.

Lopez was also photographed at the event in a daring sequin teal gown with a navel-hitting neckline and waist-high slit.
She posed alongside Camila Cabello and Cèline Dion, both of whom performed at the show, and Halle Berry, who made a special appearance in the iconic Elie Saab gown she won her first Academy Award in at the 2002 Oscars.

Lopez’s return to the stage as a singer marks her first since her divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage and the cancellation of her This Is Me… Live tour in May.
“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary,” Lopez wrote of the unexpected cancellation of her tour in a statement at the time.
Since her split from the Oscar winner, 52, Lopez has been making fashion statements around the world, from her skin-baring moment at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Unstoppable (a wrestling biopic from Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company, Artists Equity) to her latest appearance at the Nov. 9 Wicked L.A. premiere, which saw her in an abs-baring metallic cutout gown.
