Jennifer Lopez delivered a show-stopping performance on Tuesday, March 22, during the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

After accepting the iHeartRadio Icon Award, the pop superstar and Marry Me actress offered her spotlight to dozens of drag stars, who resembled Lopez at different stages of her career and were wearing iconic outfits from Lopez’ past. Just to name a few, the outfits included her Super Bowl Halftime show look, the “Jenny From The Block” outfit from her music video, the green Versace dress she wrote to the 2000 GRAMMYs, among many others.

Billy Porter introduced the group of drag stars to the stage before they strutted down a makeshift fashion runaway center stage to Lopez’ chart-topping hits before the hitmaker returned to the spotlight wearing a white gown emblazoned with the word equality.

The Latin superstar kicked off her performance with “On My Way (Marry Me)” before bursting into her fan-favorite hit “Get Right.” 

Lopez’ boyfriend, Ben Afflack, and his son, Samuel, as well as her daughter, Emme, were seen cheering her on from the star-studded audience throughout the raved about performance.
