— -- From actress to pop star to mother to fashion icon, Jennifer Lopez continues to impress by balancing her life like few celebrities can, and most recently tacking on a new Las Vegas show to her schedule.

The musical powerhouse, 46, debuted her Las Vegas "All I have" residency in January to sold-out crowds at Planet Hollywood's Axis Theater.

    With the 2016 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas Sunday, a new girl group of celebrities decided to take their after-party to check out Jenny from the Block's new gig.

    Jessica Alba, Laverne Cox, Meghan Trainor, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian hit the floor at J. Lo's show raving afterwards about her performance.

    Laverne Cox told ABC News' Jesse Palmer, "I'm exhausted from dancing and singing..."

    The “Orange is the New Black” star added, "She's superhuman."

    "All my dreams come true and she looked at me and said 'oh hey babe'..." Meghan Trainor said of J. Lo's first song of the night, which was one of Trainor's own, “Ain’t Your Momma.”

    Lopez told ABC News that she attributes her endurance on stage to the dance rehearsals and her own workout regimen. After the show she joked, "honestly, I'm leaning on the table."

    Between her Vegas show, a new hit TV drama and motherhood, the mother of two is proving that she can balance all her roles with grace. When asked why she called the new show “All I Have,” the pop star said, "I just felt that that kind of encompasses me and how I do things in my life."

    During the show, Lopez took a beat to pause and talk about her life as a mom, saying, "there's no way I could do a show without talking about the fact that I'm different from when I started."

    Her secret to the balancing act, and remaining a great mom, is putting her children first and "once they're good and I'm feeling good about that whole part of it, then I can do everything else,” she said.
