In a dazzling display of fashion and music, designer Elie Saab’s runway event, “1001 Seasons of Elie Saab,” captivated audiences in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The star-studded affair featured performances by Celine Dion and a stunning appearance by Halle Berry, who re-wore one of her most iconic Oscar gowns. However, it was Jennifer Lopez who commanded attention right from the start.
Lopez opened the show in a striking, fringed bodysuit by Saab, adorned with his signature embellishments. The outfit, which featured a dramatic deep-V plunge, shimmered under the spotlight as Lopez descended onto the runway on a fan-shaped platform. The look was completed with maribou trim, a matching microphone, and a group of tuxedo-clad backup dancers. During her performance, Lopez treated the audience to a cover of “I Will Survive” and a medley of her biggest hits, including “On the Floor,” “Let’s Get Loud,” and “Waiting for Tonight.”
Reflecting on the event, Saab shared his thoughts in a heartfelt letter, describing the celebration as a “culmination of generations of fashion.” He continued, “This event captured the essence of Arab culture and its golden years of intellect and innovation, now showcased to the world through this magnificent event.”
Following the runway show, Lopez posed for photos with Saab, along with Celine Dion and Halle Berry. For the occasion, she wore a teal gown with a plunging neckline, which now reached all the way to her navel.
This performance marked Lopez’s first public appearance since her announcement in May about her divorce from Ben Affleck and the cancellation of her tour.
