Music's biggest divas are touring the globe, performing their most beloved hits. Among them is Jennifer Lopez, whose 'Up All Night: Live in 2025' tour has been a massive success. With seven shows across Spain, in Pontevedra, Cádiz, Málaga, Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Tenerife, JLo has drawn massive crowds. But it’s not just her music that has people talking. Her tour wardrobe is stealing headlines, most recently in what seems to be a tribute to Cher.

Luxury fashion houses like Versace, Zuhair Murad, and Balmain have all contributed to the creation of this stage-ready glam. And during her shows in Turkey, JLo’s looks seemed to pay homage to one of her own style icons.

A tribute to Cher’s iconic looks:

JLo has recreated two of Cher’s most iconic outfits from the 1980s and 1990s in her recent performances in Turkey. On August 5th in Istanbul, Lopez stunned fans in a sheer bodysuit with black paneling, paired with a cropped leather jacket adorned with studs.

The look closely mirrored Cher’s daring outfit worn during her performance of 'If I Could Turn Back Time' in Germany in 1989, a look that became legendary. Cher also wore the same bodysuit (minus the jacket) in a London show during her 'Love Hurts' tour in 1992.

Then, during her July 23rd show in Antalya, JLo appeared in a sculpted leather bodysuit with a dramatically high-cut thigh, chain details draped across the hips, and a corset-style lace-up front. This look draws inspiration from another of Cher’s famous ensembles, her outfit worn during a London concert on May 7, 1992, at Wembley Arena, also part of the 'Love Hurts' tour.

Homage or imitation?

While some fans see these fashion parallels as a respectful tribute from one diva to another, others question whether the resemblance crosses the line into imitation. Either way, there’s no denying that Jennifer Lopez is giving fans some serious fashion moments.
