Jennifer Lopez. Wardrobe Malfunction. Let’s Just Admit It.

February 27, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 13 Comments

Okay. If you watched the Oscars you may have done exactly what I did.

When Jennifer Lopez appeared on stage with Cameron Diaz, you got up off your chair, approached your (big or little) screen, and stared.

Is it? Isn’t it?

This morning, her stylist is going for the, um, “cover up” if you will… but it’s a little late for that, no? Twitter, last night, was going wild over the possible nip slip. And with that, may I say that I think we all caught a glimpse of exactly what we think we did?

Who doesn’t love a great wardrobe malfunction – in sports or on the Red Carpet? Might I also say – I think she looks marvelous!

Wasn’t it just last year that we were all reading about her divorce – and with such sadness?

Beautiful, Bountiful Women

Whatever she’s doing, I say – more of the same! I couldn’t help but be struck by how gorgeous the 42-year old celebrity looks. A shadow of aréole peeking out for the pleasure of our viewing audience? That daring dress by Zuhair Marad? Why not?

Lopez seemed relaxed, radiant, her skin glowing, her figure – womanly and luscious. The over-the-shoulder shot with both Lopez and Diaz? Gorgeous!

Frankly, I say give us more J-Lo… well, more of whatever she’d like to show off and I would imagine, knowingly… And let’s celebrate a woman who is confident in her curvaceous body.

Thin, Too Thin!

In contrast to the barely off-white gowns of Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, and many others at last night’s Oscars – but more to the point, in contrast to their very female assets – I thought Angelina Jolie was magnificent in a black structured Versace with that woo hoo slit. However, despite that one spectacular leg for us to admire and of course, her beautiful face, her arms looked painfully thin.

What’s up with that?

For that matter, Cameron’s arms looked chiseled but also thin. When will women cease feeling compelled to offer up twigs in place of limbs?

Good Moments, Oscars 2012

While I don’t watch the Oscars every year, I certainly enjoy them when I have the opportunity to do so. Last evening was no exception, in particular because I had a little smile on my face as Jean Dujardin finished his acceptance speech for Best Actor in a colorful flourish of French. (Eh oui – it was indeed colorful!)

And Christopher Plummer at 82? Dashing! Energetic! How can you not swoon at the man – still?

As for a divine moment, let’s talk Meryl. Although I found La Streep’s gold dress to be less than flattering (and horrendously tailored!), who am I to judge? I adore Meryl Streep, she could be wearing a burlap sack for all I care, and I believe she wore gold the last time she picked up a win. This must be her lucky hue.

There were no wardrobe slips or dips as she took her third Oscar in hand, and I always love that she looks so incredibly approachable, and ever so human.

Add to that the fact that before anyone else, she thanked her long-time husband first. What an extraordinary example of class – and more than that – priorities, in a culture where we often focus on the glitz and glam, and lose sight of our personal relationships.

Women of Style, Women of Accomplishment

Women of style and accomplishment? I can’t resist a gander, a musing, a mention. They entertain us and inspire us – hopefully encouraging us to seek something more of ourselves – ideally substance over style, even as we smile with a glimpse of this and that.

So here’s to the Jennifer Lopez boobs as well as her bodacious booty – whatever we did or didn’t see. Here’s to all the women who can feel comfortable in their skin – bien dans leur peau, and to celebrating the beauty of our bodies as they are, full and functioning and treated with respect. And yes, even a bit of gawking pleasure at the occasional revelation of titillating treasure.

    Meryl is classy and usually wears her own clothes. I think she is a sweatshirt, sweat pant kind of person when not on stage or screen. She lives in a rural area with her sculpture/artist husband and has raised three intelligent well educated daughters. I love her regardless of her clothes. She is a true movie star without all the muss and fuss. Angelina Jolie looked old and withered with her jowls a little more prominent because of her gaunt look. I don’t get it at all. She looked like a pair of lips and that was it. For the aureola slip her people should have fixed it to secure it before she stepped out. That is their job I would assume. She got people for that. 🙂

      Couldn’t agree more about Meryl Streep, Madge. She is also always just slightly disheveled, with a wisp of hair falling in her face and I think it’s glorious. As for Jennifer Lopez (or the other flashier celebs), we do love seeing those slips, don’t we… even when they have “people” to take care of that… 😉

    My husband actually pointed out Angelina Jolie’s thinness to me because I didn’t see it. (I guess I was too concerned with my pie to pay attention to those details.) But after he said something, I was shocked! I just hope it’s for a role she is playing because she did look very unhealthy.

    As for Jennifer Lopez? I find it disconcerting that she looks younger now than she did when she first debuted. Is there something wrong with aging? Glenn Close and Meryl Streep look marvelous. They are classy and wear their clothes well. I have long admired them for how they look their age yet achieve a timeless air. So I wonder why Jennifer and other women can’t accept aging for what it is, a necessary part of maturing.

    Other than that, the Oscars were exciting and lovely. And I will admit to my own standing ovation when Meryl Streep, Christopher Plummer, and Octavia Spencer took home their prizes. The talent that exists in the film industry still stuns me.

      You’re so right, Amber. The talent is stunning. I was also very touched when they showed the remembrance of those who passed away in 2011 – among them, Peter Falk (famed for Columbo), and of course, Elizabeth Taylor. But so many others who create the magic we see on film.

    I agree about J.Lo! I love her and I think she looks amazing. I do wish the ‘nip slip’ hadn’t happened, because it became such a distraction from how fabulous she looked – everyone is now remembering and discussing the wardrobe malfunction instead of her incredible gown, figure, and glow, as you mentioned. I am a huge fan of J.Lo because, although she’s not the most talented actress, or the most talented singer, etc., she is brilliant at managing her career in music, movies, and other ventures and has parlayed “average” talent (by Hollywood standards) into enormous success by having above-average drive, and business sense, in my opinion. Go J.Lo!!!! Then there’s her ex-husband who is an extremely talented musician, gifted with an incredible voice, and he is basically wasting his life away with drugs and other issues… Oh and Angelina Jolie needs to eat a big steak and some pie for dessert. She looks unhealthy, in my opinion – so pale and thin, that her gorgeous dress was almost wearing HER instead of the other way around. She still managed to pull it off, but Angelina needs some meat on her bones methinks! That’s my two cents!

    Amazing that I (with Fran) saw the Academy Awards for the first time in years. Explanation was that there was a free showing/party at a friend’s art theater, and I saw more TV on the big screen than I have seen all year (more than no TV, to be precise). Felt a need to know a little more about what is going on. Seemed like the whole thing was better done than the last time, decades and another lifetime ago.

    Wardrobe or whatever. Who cares. BOREing. Go naked.

    (I’m sorry to always sound like such an officious crank here. Oh well)

    Meryl Streep is by far the classiest person in Hollyweird. I adore her and every movie she’s done. I’ve yet to see Iron Lady, but it’s on my list of movies to see soon. It’s sad that the most noteworthy thing people had to tweet about was J-Lo’s nip slip, but that’s our culture these days. She and Ms. Diaz looked stunning. As for Angelina…get that woman a candy bar!

    Meryl Streep is one of my favorites. And you are exactly right. There is something so human and approachable about her. She speaks from the heart. I love the fact that she spoke of her husband and friends first, rather than the typical blah blah that happens in these speeches.

    As far as J-Lo, I was struck by the fact that she looked younger than Cameron Diaz, when she is almost 4 years older. As far as her dress is concerned, it was a slip, but I can’t help but think she planned it that way. Publicity seems to be her middle name.

    My favorite part of the Oscars were the little vignettes about why actors act and what they are attempting to convey through their roles.

      I agree, J Lo looked fantastic. Perhaps her younger man is part of that picture? (Is he still in the picture?)

    It is nice to see the appreciation among women for non-twiggy (and even well-developed) arms. I find thin arms on a woman extremely off-putting (no matter how good she looks elsewhere), and love those that show evidence of having moved weight. That does not mean the extreme of the professional weightlifter, whose veins often remind me of a basket of snakes – but to my eyes Diaz’s arms are a beautiful combination of size and shape.

    I’m not as enamored with Angelina Jolie and found her showy-leg-stance a bit bizarre but loved the mock stance of one of the winners (even though he denies that he was mocking her, I know what I saw.) You’re right. Meryl could wear a sack and still be gorgeous in my eyes. A fun, glamorous night, to be sure.
