On Monday evening, just about two weeks after sustaining a severe facial injury, Jennifer Lopez served as the host of the 2025 American Music Awards.

55-year-old singer disclosed around May middle that she had injured her nose during practice of an energetic dance routine for the yearly event, which is quite demanding.

The wound was deep enough to necessitate suturing, which she underwent at the hands of renowned cosmetic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond.

Approximately a few weeks after the incident, Lopez graced the AMAs red carpet with an unscathed visage, later assuming the role of host on stage without any visible injuries.

Yet, upon scrutiny of the images, it became apparent that Lopez’s rapid recuperation was not as extraordinary as it initially appeared.

Lopez’s makeup artists concealed her sutured nose using a scar tape or bandage that closely resembled her complexion.

She put the bandage/tape on her nose bridge, right where it connects, and then skillfully applied her makeup over it so there were no noticeable seams.

Scott Barnes, Lopez’s makeup artist, accentuated other facial features by applying intense smoky eyeshadow and oversized false eyelashes, drawing attention away from the injured area.

Initially, concerns arose about whether Lopez’s face would recover in time for the American Music Awards following the weekend, as she shared a heavily edited selfie that raised eyebrows.

On Saturday, she shared a spontaneous photo on her Instagram stories, taken from within the car as she traveled to her last rehearsal.

Contrasting with the Kardashian family, Lopez isn’t renowned for excessively editing her social media images, leading some to wonder if she might be concealing an injured nose beneath the filters.

However, even with the injury, Lopez radiated self-assurance while flaunting elegance at its finest during her captivating poses for the shutterbugs on Monday evening.

Despite her injury, Lopez showcased unwavering confidence as she gracefully worked various angles and turned heads with her breathtaking poise in front of red carpet photographers on Monday night.

During the extended awards ceremony that took place at the luxurious Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel, Lopez switched her impressive wardrobe no less than eight times while hosting and kicked off the event with an exhilarating dance performance.

The initial performance received heavy criticism from spectators as she shared a kiss with both male and female dancers on stage, which took place during the show’s broadcast.

She sang and danced to a six-minute medley of 23 hits by the evening’s nominees. 

Even though many prominent celebrities like Taylor Swift chose not to attend, Jennifer Lopez made an effort to elevate the event with her performance, playing popular songs such as Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” and Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.

However, her passionate kiss with her dancers caused viewers to squirm, as they found it distasteful. Some even labeled this display as an apparent effort to provoke Ben Affleck, given that their divorce was finalized four months prior.

others criticized her severely for taking the girl-on-girl kiss too far, with one user commenting on the platform, “Jennifer Lopez seems to have strayed from her original plan.

One spectator wondered aloud: “What’s the reason behind Jennifer Lopez giving everyone a kiss at the AMAs?” Meanwhile, another exclaimed in surprise: “Looked away from my phone for a moment and suddenly, Jennifer Lopez is locking lips with another woman?!

Jennifer was called ‘disgusting’ and ‘desperate’ by some unimpressed viewers.

For the risqué stage performance, she wore her distinctive long, golden-blonde hair styled straight, with a central parting down to her waist.

The songstress began her set by singing an excerpt of her 2012 song Dance Again.

Later on, she shifted gears to a mix of popular songs from the last year, such as Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go,” Morgan Wallen and Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” and Tinashe’s “Nasty.”

Subsequently, she moved onto a blend of top tracks from the previous year, featuring Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go,” Morgan Wallen and Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” and Tinashe’s “Nasty.

A source told DailyMail.com that Lopez is unbothered by the backlash over her performance.

As a diehard enthusiast, I’ve got some exclusive insights! It seems Jennifer Lopez listened intently to her public relations advisor’s guidance, taking each piece of advice to a T during her post-Ben Affleck return to the spotlight.

‘She is living her best life and has zero f***s to give right now,’ they continued.

Despite facing an overwhelming amount of doubt, she showed great courage. She refused to let pessimistic remarks discourage her. Instead, she persevered and continued to live her life with determination.

Lopez took on hosting duties for this year’s ceremony a decade after she first hosted in 2015.

At the event, Lopez unveiled her upcoming 12-show engagement titled “Up All Night Live” which will take place at Caesars Palace’s The Colosseum in Las Vegas.

‘Surprise JLovers!’ the pop diva wrote on Instagram. ‘We’re back!’

Lopez will start his Nevada concert series on December 30, but you can get presale tickets from June 2. General tickets will be available for purchase starting June 6.

In the past, she held a residency in Las Vegas titled “All I Have” at the Zappos Theater in Planet Hollywood. It is said that this residency earned approximately $101.9 million over 121 shows between 2016 and 2018.

Approximately a year ago, Lopez made her announcement following the deep sorrow and despair she felt when she had to call off her 30-date ‘This is Me… Live: The Greatest Hits’ tour.
