The Oscars: Did Jennifer Lopez Have a Wardrobe Malfunction?

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Uh oh, J-Lo. Jennifer Lopez appeared to have a wardrobe malfunction while presenting the Oscars for costume design and makeup with Cameron Diaz. Clad in a low cut, Zuhair Murad gown that looked like it might have been painted on, a bit more of her breast than she might have liked seemed to show. Twitter’s abuzz about it, no comment from the Academy or Jenny from the Block yet.

It wouldn’t be her first risque Oscar move. She infamously turned heads at the 2003 awards in a low front and back green Versace dress.

Whether or not it happened, it’s already got a Twitter handle. @Jlosnipple has more than 500 followers and counting.

UPDATE: Lopez’s stylist Mariel Haenn responded t0 the reports in a statement:  “The dress fit perfectly to every inch,” she said, saying that it included built-in cups to prevent any slips: “While the dress did give the illusion of sheer-ness, joke’s on everyone who wishes they saw something!” In a tweet to this reporter, she added, “If u thought that dress was hot, wait & see what’s next!”

My husband and I were positive that was what we saw. It was so minimal we were not sure but now I am pretty sure that is what we saw!

Aww, who cares — she looked gorgeous! And so did Cameron. Two gorgeous, curvy girls, beautiful and talented too. Don’t let that mar the evening, please.

I used to be a big J-Lo fan but she is too unstable. She’s already had 3 marriages and is now dating someone in his twenties, and has seemed to have forgotten that she has 2 toddlers to care for. It’s so obvious that she is having trouble, like Demi Moore, with the concept of aging. I want to throw my admiration to someone who has got it a lot more together than J-Lo.

And when you’re a mother of 2, why can’t J-Lo dress a lot more respectable than she did for the Oscars? It’s disgusting. Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Too bad she doesn’t have any depth about her. She should be home with her kids instead of on national TV with her breasts hanging out of her dress!

Posted by: Chris | February 26, 2012, 11:14 pm 11:14 pm

Absolutely her nip was showing… my 8 year old told me to look. Unbelievable that NBC didn’t block it out.

Posted by: niple | February 26, 2012, 11:26 pm 11:26 pm

I mean ABC… duhhhhh. I should have watched The Apprentice instead.

who cares?

Posted by: jen | February 26, 2012, 11:49 pm 11:49 pm

Fun show, the Oscars. I wouldn’t miss it for anything. Been watching the Oscars for over 50 yrs, never missed a one.

Posted by: Octavia | February 26, 2012, 11:53 pm 11:53 pm

They can show dead bodies, people being shot, killed, cut to pieces, autopsies, etc. but let a woman show an areola or nipple and the crap hits the fan! Get real!

Posted by: Jim | February 26, 2012, 11:54 pm 11:54 pm

Seen one, seen ‘em both.

Posted by: Fred | February 26, 2012, 11:54 pm 11:54 pm

I noticed it on the Red Carpet , but so what. Didn’t show hardly anything.

Posted by: Connie | February 26, 2012, 11:55 pm 11:55 pm

Agree with Octavia. This Country is a joke!

Posted by: Boomer | February 27, 2012, 12:04 am 12:04 am

Agree with Jim, not (Octavia). This Country is a joke!

@”Chris” who is apparently upset that a celebrity isn’t at home tending to her children …. get a life. She’s a divorced mother who isn’t working in the movies and whose music isn’t selling anymore. She does what she has to do to live the lifestyle she’s chosen. It’s an expensive one, I’ll grant you that. But it’s certainly her choice how to life and whether or not she works for a living. Appearing at these high profile banquets and awards ceremonies gets her face out there, reminding producers that she’s still around. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she knew her nipple was peeking out a little. See how everyone’s talking about it? Sometimes that kind of buzz generates income. Oh, also, Chris. NBC didn’t blank it out because it was carried on ABC!

We’re a rather schizophrenic society: obsessed with breasts, yet alarmed at the sight. I don’t think any 12-year-old kid is going to be emotionally scarred from such fleeting preview of his adulthood.

Posted by: Steve | February 27, 2012, 12:35 am 12:35 am

She needs to dress more appropriate for a woman of her age…she always looks “sluty” that hair up like that is so ugly…time to move on JLo….

Posted by: jane | February 27, 2012, 7:16 am 7:16 am

Looked like maybe a mole, but last I checked, nipples aren’t on the side of the breast, and with the slope of her boob, it’s filling out her dress the right way.

Posted by: wildblue | February 27, 2012, 7:27 am 7:27 am

JLO can wear what she want. I’m so tired of people trying to make celebrities into role models to help raise their children. I grew up in the 80′s where you had channels like HBO and Skinemax on regular cord to the wall cable. Do you have any idea of the things I would see on cinemax as a child at night!? But it didn’t matter, why? because I was raised to know the difference between right and wrong. Parents today want everybody in the world to help raise their children and it’s not everybody in the worlds responsibility to be role models ESPECIALLY people in the entertainment industry…they have a job to do and that job is to ENTERTAIN. It’s not their job to edit children, it’s the parents job to edit children.

Oh bother! The complaints here are usually from women who are uglier than sin or just jealous. Let’s throw in the religious wingnuts and you have a recipe for whining. J-Lo has a right to do whatever she wants to in this country, remember we are a FREE country.

You religious wingnuts and other whiners better remember that, the Founding Fathers made sure of that with the Constitution of the United States of America, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

Lopez’s stylist Mariel Haenn responded to the reports in a statement: “While the dress did give the illusion of sheer-ness, joke’s on everyone who wishes they saw something!”

No sweetie…the joke’s on you! We totally saw the edge of her aerola from the 8 o’clock to 12 o’clock position….very slightly, but it was there nonetheless! No worries though, I thought she looked beautiful.

I wish Cameron would have worn that dress one half a size larger. She looked so sucked into that gown that it not only looked umcomfortable, but unflattering at the same time. I know Rachel Zoe is her stylist and dreses her beautifully 99% of the time, I just with she would get better fitting clothes for her at times!!!

The fact that this is even news is just another reason the rest of the westernized world is shaking their heads and laughing at us. While it doesn’t surprise me that Conservatives are jumping all over J-Lo (please feel free to move to a country where women wear Burkhas), it’s ridiculous that the meadia would fuel this Victorian-style hysteria.

Posted by: Jimmy | February 27, 2012, 9:08 am 9:08 am

Umm…honestly, I kind of think I might have seen something, but I’m not sure. This is coming from a woman who is well aware of the anatomy of her own (and other) women’s bodies. With that said, I think it’s a bit of wishful thinking…and the desire to see someone suffer a wardrobe malfunction. In other words, this ain’t no story.

Posted by: paisleychic | February 27, 2012, 9:20 am 9:20 am

Seriously, unless her nipple is WAY OFF CENTER, it’s IMPOSSIBLE that’s what anyone saw!

Posted by: JaneHill | February 27, 2012, 9:47 am 9:47 am

They want to go up there almost naked, what do you expect!

Posted by: frenchie 11 | February 27, 2012, 10:38 am 10:38 am

She’s not even close to being as pretty as Cameron Diaz.

Posted by: Cowcharge | February 27, 2012, 10:51 am 10:51 am

Unless her areola is the size of a dinner plate, there was no nipple.

Posted by: Cowcharge | February 27, 2012, 10:52 am 10:52 am

Some of you may want to check the pics, she did indeed have a slip….fox nation has a pic and you can clearly see the slip…I’m sure the same pic can be found everywhere online now

Posted by: samhiguchi | February 27, 2012, 10:54 am 10:54 am

I thought her dress was ugly. She would be much sexier if she left something to the imagination.

Posted by: Moonhill | February 27, 2012, 10:54 am 10:54 am

OMG, are you people jealous, if you got it flaunt it.

Posted by: Lizzie | February 27, 2012, 11:04 am 11:04 am

With the thought of obesity lingering in the air i n America. It is nice to see so many FIT women. They were banging their bodies in those beautiful gowns. No one has commented on Angelina Jolie. I hope and pray that she isn’t ill. The black dress was too severe for her small frame.
Viola Davis, sorry that you didn’t win. However, you were rocking that short “Oscar” haircut. The colors that you picked for your gowns were simply gorgeous.Congrats to Meryl and Octavia also.

Here we go again the press and all gossip online site are once again are bored out of there mind, what can we think of next’s to sale a headline to the public ? How can we manipulate the public ? Oh yeah lets pick on Jennifer Lopez ! You guys are such a bore !

Posted by: James Hue | February 27, 2012, 11:10 am 11:10 am

I thought that dress was pretty funny when they said the quote. Cameron said something like “women should wear clothing tight enough that you can tell she’s a woman” and J-LO said “but lloose enough so you can tell she’s a lady”. Pretty inappropriate dress for that! That said, awesome dress – I’d wear it if I had that bod.

Posted by: mm1970 | February 27, 2012, 11:21 am 11:21 am

Overall, this was one of the best ever Oscars…………………Yes, Lopez had a tiny nip exposure but the dress itself was not over the top in how low it was…………….Most of the women looked great, but come on ladies, if you have curls or ringlets, make them soft and curled to the ends, as well, Cameron and Glenn, and some of the ladies with long hair yeally needed to leave the hair spray at home – Clooney’s gal Stacy for one………………I think the ashes/dust all over Ryan went too far and he did not deserve that just for a laugh.

Posted by: Sue | February 27, 2012, 11:55 am 11:55 am

She is such a has been, I doubt it was an accident, the only way for her to get attention now it seems. Take a look at yourself J-low, surely there has to be something more to you than this.

Posted by: onlyanegg | February 27, 2012, 12:03 pm 12:03 pm

Very unbecoming and immoral, sleazy.

Posted by: ann | February 27, 2012, 12:54 pm 12:54 pm

J-Lo is such an attention grabber. She thinks she’s the most beautiful woman alive; therefore, she has to show as much of herself as she possibly can. What happened to dignity and self respect? What is her “claim to fame”? What does she do? Really? She is so into herself that I wouldn’t be surprised if her next marriage was to herself!

Posted by: carole | February 27, 2012, 1:05 pm 1:05 pm

If she was wearing cups like her stylists says she was, what you saw was most likely the edge of the cup and tape. The shadow that it would create would account for the dark sliver of what looked like flesh. Believe me, these dresses are usually taped like crazy. People need to lighten up.

Posted by: Catherine | February 27, 2012, 1:29 pm 1:29 pm

Trashy.

Posted by: Lisa | February 27, 2012, 1:41 pm 1:41 pm

Yeah I noticed it right off the bat. Nice rack. AMEN to wardrobe malfunctions

Posted by: Rufus | February 27, 2012, 2:24 pm 2:24 pm

Cany you say TOTALLY TRASH J-LO…Disgusting!!!!

Posted by: colorado1 | February 27, 2012, 2:54 pm 2:54 pm

I really didn’t notice it last night, but if you study hard a little did someone stay up all night analyzing?? I think both her and Cameron look great were cute together — actually Cameron was noticeably cold when she was first pictured in aisle in the auditorium —
Angelina Jolie looked sick, hope okay — very thin, hair looked like she had been sick (no shine and thin) didn’t like dress or stance — she is very beautiful but didn’t look good last night.

Posted by: Paulet | February 27, 2012, 3:56 pm 3:56 pm

maybe one day….(we can only hope) that she will put something on that actually reflects her talent….and bot her body…oh wait….she’ll be completely naked at the next awards ceremonly

Posted by: Mccauta | February 27, 2012, 4:38 pm 4:38 pm

Lopez has a history of exhibitionism. She seems to try to get as naked as possible on a routine basis.

Posted by: Ironweed | February 27, 2012, 4:53 pm 4:53 pm

As I was going through the internet and saw this story. Since I didn’t see the Oscar’s, I thought that I would read the story. When I began to read it, it reminded me of why I don’t watch those shows. These people are so starved for attention and out of touch with regular people. Cameron Diaz is a mental midget and J-Lo isn’t far behind.

Posted by: Carl Jenkins | February 28, 2012, 4:15 pm 4:15 pm

She was probably worried that someone else might get attention for a second. I’m surprised she wasn’t out body-blocking other stars on the red carpet.

Posted by: Who's surprised? | February 28, 2012, 4:20 pm 4:20 pm

I didn’t see the show but from the picture it looks like a beautiful dress. She is quite lovely and elegant looking.

I am not shocked by her dress but I do find it shocking how many people seem to find a beautiful woman threatening. I think people who take care of themselves and are comfortable in their body are very attractive. I am interested in hearing someone’s explanation as to why this is such a threat to people.

Posted by: E | February 28, 2012, 4:21 pm 4:21 pm

COME ON PEOPLE REALLY???? ITS A BOOB OR WHAT YOU THINK IS A BOOB, YOUR MOM HAS THEM YOUR SISTER HAS THEM,YOU HAVE THEM IF YOUR FEMALE AND IF YOUR A MAN YOU HOPEFULLY HAVE SEEN THEM…………………..BELIEVE IF I LOOKED LIKE THAT ID BE WEARIN ME SOME SEXY TOO JUST LIKE CHER BEFORE HER, STOP BEING SUCH PRUDES!!!!!

Posted by: michelle | February 28, 2012, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm

Are you all that bored that you have nothing better to do but look at every video of someone in a low cut dress waiting for something to pop out? Are her nippleas any different than anyone else’s you’ve ever seen? Really folks, let’s concentrate on the things that matter in life like electing our world leaders or solving the real problems that plague society!

Posted by: john | February 28, 2012, 5:00 pm 5:00 pm

There are a lot of cheap disgusting opinions about women. Get with it.

Posted by: linda | February 28, 2012, 5:06 pm 5:06 pm

When you can’t sing or act, you need to flash a little boob to say in the news.

Posted by: wildride85 | February 28, 2012, 5:41 pm 5:41 pm

They’re just body parts. So what? They mean nothing to me, emotionally or physically. I’m pretty sure I’d feel the same way if I were heterosexually impaired, but as a ‘mo they really are just parts of the human body. What is it with straight society that it both worships and condemns naturally occurring things? (I should add that I’m odd among my fellow ‘mos, as my idea of beauty is Zach Galifianakis or Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill pre-weight-loss).
