The Elie Saab’s “The 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab” runway show unfolded in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the audience was treated to a star-studded lineup and extravagant fashion fanfare.
As you can imagine, the event brought forth an explosion of creativity and glamour that exceeded all expectations.
One of the highlights of the evening was Jennifer Lopez, who opened the show with an electrifying performance. Gracing the stage atop a floating platform embellished with a stunning white arch intricately adorned with feathers, J.Lo made an unforgettable entrance that set the tone for the night.
She was dressed in a silver metallic bodysuit featuring a plunging neckline. The bodysuit, complemented by sheer tights and glamorous shimmery silver-heeled boots, perfectly echoed the festive beauty of the runway.
Adding a touch of theatrical flair, J.Lo dazzled the audience with an icy cape draped in bedazzled fringe that nodded to the spirited essence of the Roaring Twenties, making her look like a celestial being descending directly from Hollywood’s golden age.
Lopez’s distinctive style was accentuated by her signature bombshell waves and exquisite diamond jewelry that shimmered under the lights, creating a captivating visual experience. The fashionista knew how to command attention, and her presence certainly did just that as she transitioned through her performance.
In a seamless swap, J.Lo later discarded the bedazzled cape for an oversized white fur coat, reminiscent of classic winter glamour, evoking the image of Mrs. Santa while keeping the audience entranced.
Lopez kicked off her performance with a cover of the timeless hit “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, setting an empowering tone for the evening. Her renditions of favorite tracks, including her own iconic “Waiting for Tonight,” brought the audience to their feet and kept the energy soaring.
As if the night could get any better, Lopez was joined on stage by the legendary Celine Dion and acting icon Halle Berry, who graced the runway to further elevate the festive atmosphere of the runway show.
