Jennifer Lopez, who is preparing to host the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26, turned heads with two stunning looks on Monday night. The performer may be recovering from a recent injury while rehearsing for the award show, but this did not stop her from making a stylish appearance in New York City.
The 55-year-old multi-hyphenate star made a triumphant return to the public eye in not one but two stunning ensembles for composer John Kander’s 98th birthday celebration in NYC.

She confirmed she required stitches, adding, “Thank you for stitching me up Dr. Diamond. A week later and a whole lotta ice, I’m good as new.”
