Jennifer Lopez is renowned for her talents as a singer, actress, and dancer, but she can now add another title to her impressive resume – fashion chameleon. As she prepares to host the 2025 American Music Awards, the global superstar has revealed that she has a unique approach to planning her outfits for the event – she does it at the last minute.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Lopez shared that just days before the AMAs, she was still unsure about what she would wear for the highly anticipated event. Explaining her process, the 55-year-old star said, “We started doing our fittings just yesterday and there’s so many things to choose from. I don’t know what’s going to wind up on the show… it’ll be a lot of last-minute decisions, I think.”
For busy personalities like Lopez, making fashion decisions close to the event is not uncommon. However, for the multi-faceted entertainer, it is not just about time constraints, but also about capturing the right vibe. Lopez collaborates with her stylist to explore ideas and determine the look that best represents her feelings at that moment. She shared, “We feel it out because I think it does change. For me, my feelings change from month to month, like, ‘Who do I want to be today?’ because I feel like there are so many different sides to who I am fashion-wise.”
When it comes to quick costume changes during performances, Lopez has a streamlined system in place with her team. The goal is to keep the audience engaged and excited throughout her shows. Lopez mentioned, “I have one or two girls that I worked with and have worked with for years, Kelly and now Hannah, and we really just have honed it down to, ‘We’ll do this. We’ll do this. We’ll do this. You take the top. I’ll take the shoe.'”
Despite facing a minor mishap during an AMAs rehearsal earlier this month, where she injured her face, Lopez remains undeterred. She assured her fans that such incidents are a part of the high-energy performances they can expect. Lopez shared, “I hit it in rehearsal and I had to get stitches. It was fine… A few of us have gotten hurt in rehearsals. We’re doing a very high-energy athletic number, so it’s, I guess, bound to happen.”
The 2025 American Music Awards, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, promises to be a star-studded event with performances from Becky G, Manuel Turizo, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Gloria Estefan, and more. The iconic Janet Jackson will be honoured with the ICON Award, while Rod Stewart will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. The awards show will air live on Monday, May 26 from Fontainebleau Las Vegas at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+.
As Lopez continues to dazzle audiences with her talent and style, her last-minute approach to fashion choices only adds to her allure and spontaneity as a performer. Fans can undoubtedly expect a show-stopping wardrobe and an unforgettable hosting experience from the one and only Jennifer Lopez at the 2025 AMAs.
