The hitmaker played the incident off, smiling big and strutting around the stage with her arms in the air, and she even pulled off a little spin, as seen in video shared on her official YouTube channel, as well as by fans on Instagram.
"I'm out here in my underwear," Lopez joked, as a dancer approached her with the skirt and attempted to put it back on. "That's gonna be everywhere."
"I'm glad that they reinforced that costume," she later said. "And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear."
