Braless Jennifer Lopez, 55, suffers a nip slip in a plunging peach dress before swiftly changing into a high neck white gown at benefit concert
Jennifer Lopez suffered a wardrobe malfunction on Monday as she attended the Ring Them Bells benefit concert in New York City.
The singer, 55, was one of several performers who took to the stage at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre to celebrate songwriter John Kander's 98th birthday.
And she ensured all eyes would be on her as she made her arrival at the venue clad in a plunging peach gown with feathered sleeves.
Unfortunately, braless J Lo ended up revealing a bit too much as her dress pulled to the side as she walked, resulting in a nip slip.
Yet she didn't let the mishap get her down as she continued to confidently strut into the performance before changing into another eye-catching look.
There was no chance of a nip slip in her second gown, with Jennifer leaving the theatre in a striking white high neck dress with jewel embellishment on the collar.
The quirky dress did show off her tanned and toned pins, however, with a structured asymmetric hemline and sweeping train.
She added to the glamour with a silver clutch bag and towering pair of platform heels.
The Ring Them Bells benefit was hosted by Alan Cumming and saw a host of performers take to the stage to showcase the life and career of Kander - who composed shows including Cabaret, Chicago, and Kiss of the Spider Woman.
Jennifer's inclusion in the concert followed on from reports that she is 'ready to date again' following her divorce from Ben Affleck.
'Jennifer wants to be in love again,' a source told DailyMail.com.
Though she has been linked to Yellowstone actor Kevin Costner after they spent time at the iconic western apparel store Kemo Sabe in Aspen Colorado over Christmas, she is interested in another Yellowstone type.
'She had a crush on Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone and wants a guy like that, someone who can have her back and make sure she is OK,' the pal noted.
'She wants to be put first and made to feel special.
'Her life is a lot, she needs a man who can handle all that and still love her unconditionally like the way Rip love Beth Dutton.'

In an odd twist, Ben is friends with the actor who plays Rip: Cole Hauser. They starred together in Good Will Hunting.
Meanwhile, Jennifer is busy with her career.
'She wants this summer to be amazing after a tough start to the year,' said a friend to DailyMail.com.
First she is filming her new movie Office Romance in New Jersey with Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein.
Then she will perform on June 6, 2025 at the World Pride Music Festival in Washington, DC.
And she will celebrate her 56th birthday, which falls on July 24, in style with her twins Max and Emme.
Though Jennifer had a terrific 2024 with her career - Atlas was a major success - she was put in a negative light after ending her marriage to Ben.
She was portrayed as the one with the problem after so many marriages went bust: her husbands have included Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony and Ben. She was also engaged to Alex Rodriguez.
Sources tell DailyMail.com that Jennifer wants to shine in 2025.

With 'Karate Kid: Legends,' Ben Wang is the 1st Asian American new 'Kid' on the block
It didn't occur to Ben Wang right away that in taking on ' Karate Kid: Legends,' he'd be the franchise's first Asian American 'Kid.' And that gives him a lot of optimism. 'At first I didn't even think about that,' Wang told The Associated Press. 'That feels like a very cool and actually privileged position that I get to be in." His casting happened, he said, in "a world where that's normal enough." 'Karate Kid: Legends,' which opens Friday, unites OG Ralph Macchio's Daniel and Jackie Chan 's Mr. Han from the 2010 movie to help Wang's Li Fong win a New York City karate competition. In the original 'Karate Kid' movie, which came out more than 40 years ago, Pat Morita was the only main Asian American cast member even though it takes place in California's San Fernando Valley. His beloved Mr. Miyagi helped underdog Daniel wax on and wax off against white karate bullies. That arc has been replicated and flipped in sequels and offshoots ever since. The overall lack of Asian and Asian American representation all these years has been a lingering point of contention for some. Jeff Yang, author of 'The Golden Screen: The Movies That Made Asian America,' said he knows plenty of Asian Americans who find most of the Miyagi-verse entertaining. At the same time, even the recent Netflix 'Cobra Kai' series hardly had any young Asian American main characters. That lost opportunity felt like a 'loose, nagging tooth,' he said. 'It's always been a situation where the ancient or legendary martial arts master is transferring his skills not just to another generation, but into another community,' Jeff Yang said. 'In a way, that feels like for me as an Asian American, it turns it into a guilty pleasure." The Asians who were there were 'either sidekicks or villains," he added. When the first 'Karate Kid' film hit In Asia, there's a long cinematic history of elite martial artists-turned-actors ranging from icon Bruce Lee to Chan and Jet Li. But in Hollywood, Asian characters who did perform karate or kung-fu often weren't written three-dimensionally. Most of the stars who could shine for acting and on-screen fighting weren't Asian. 'In a way that's understandable,' Yang said. 'Martial arts is one of the things that was brought to the United States by soldiers who had been stationed in Asia, learned the practice, embraced the lifestyle and the discipline.' By the 1970s and '80s, karate dojos were becoming popular all over the U.S. in cities and suburbs. So 'The Karate Kid' debuted at just the right time. Ken Nagayama, a martial arts grand master who runs a school in the Valley, was an instructor at a North Hollywood dojo used for scenes in the original film. He recalls meeting Pat Morita. But, he wasn't thinking about casting. He was impressed by how much interest in karate shot up because of one movie. 'When that came out, so many people were interested in taking class, especially younger kids,' said Nagayama, who plans to watch 'Legends' with some of his students. He had 'a whole mix' of students of all races signing up. Steven Ho, a stunt coordinator and martial artist who lives in Los Angeles and has appeared multiple times on Conan O'Brien's talk shows, remembers Morita, Macchio and William Zabka watching tournaments he competed in to prepare for the first movie. He was such a fan of Morita that he never thought about how there were no other Asian actors. 'Pat Morita, to me, he was the lead,' Ho said. 'Also, if that were the only martial arts film out there, then yeah, it would be odd and I would be disappointed. But you gotta remember the '80s and '90s we were living in the golden age of Jet Li, Jackie Chan, films that featured ... more authentic martial artists." It's a full-circle moment that Chan is one of the mentors in this new flick. Wang is still in disbelief he got to do combat choreography with the superstar. 'He's the guy you think he is,' Wang said with a grin. 'He doesn't turn it off when he's not on set.' Martial arts movies made for new generations Ho happily points out that 'Karate Kid: Legends' is reinforcing how his 12-year-old twin sons are growing up without negative Asian stereotypes like he did. He'd rather a story have no Asians if the characters are going to be the butt of the joke. That history of stereotyping of Asian men is why he initially declined appearing on O'Brien's show. 'I thought 'Oh, he's a tall guy. I'm a short, Asian guy. They're just going to goof on me. They're going to go off on me,' so I said, 'You know, I'm gonna be out of town,'' Ho said. Luckily, the segments, which have earned millions of YouTube views, were crafted so Ho was the straight-man to O'Brien's buffoonery. Twins Jonny and Ollie, in fact, are real-life karate kids. The boys, known as the 'Twinjas," know karate, mixed martial arts and other disciplines. They count Bruce Lee's daughter, Shannon, as a friend. They've appeared on 'America's Got Talent,' 'Obi-Wan Kenobi" and taught Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg moves. They love 'Cobra Kai' for the drama and want to see 'Legends' for Chan. They have since been introduced to the movie that started it all. For Ollie, Miyagi was his favorite character. 'I think that in the first Karate Kids, how the teacher was Asian, I think being a teacher is better than being a student,' he said. Jonny says not every show or movie in this genre has to have an Asian lead, but when there is one, he takes note. 'I think that there's definitely a lot of other movies and shows that have Asian leads, like Simu Liu, the first Asian superhero,' Jonny said, referring to Marvel's ' Shang-Chi.' 'It's very significant." The Twinjas, who are working on a children's fiction book that's part mystery and part action, are not shy about voicing their own desire for 'any opportunities that come our way, we'd love to take, especially for acting and using our martial arts skills,' Ollie said. Perhaps they'll get some inspiration from seeing Wang in 'Legends.' Wang considers it a "point of pride' if young Asian American children view him as a benchmark so they can see themselves as the hero. 'The word I keep going back to is it's a privilege,' Wang said. 'What I love about this series is ... there's this idea anyone can be the 'Karate Kid.'' ___ Associated Press videojournalist John Carucci in New York contributed to this report.

Resurfaced photos show Hugh Jackman's 17-year history with new girlfriend Sutton Foster as his divorce from ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness turns nasty
Resurfaced photos show that Hugh Jackman and his new girlfriend Sutton Foster were long-time friends for almost two decades before going public with their romance in January. The couple's relationship is currently under the spotlight amid the Aussie actor's messy divorce from wife Deborra-Lee Furness. One picture taken from way back in December 2008 captured the pair happily posing together at The Broadway Theatre in New York City as they attended the Shrek musical. Hugh, 56, and fellow Broadway star Sutton, 50, beamed from ear-to-ear as they cuddled up together, 16 years before they began dating. They also put on a very intimate display when they publicly danced together at The 68th Annual Tony Awards in New York in June 2014. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. They also put on a very intimate display when they publicly danced together at The 68th Annual Tony Awards in New York in June 2014 The pair were seen leaning into each other as they performed an elegant waltz for fellow A-list guests. During the dance, they seemed to share intense chemistry, years before their friendship blossomed into a romance. This week Hugh shared a very telling post after his ex-wife Deborra-Lee broke her silence on her divorce from her husband of 27 years. The Greatest Showman star took to social media on Wednesday to post a clip of him nailing a skipping routine in his show Hugh Jackman Live From New York With Love, which he's performing at Radio City Music Hall. However, it was the clip's chosen background track - NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye - that raised eyebrows considering the recent divorce developments. The video, which was posted to his 34.1 million followers, is clearly a reference to Deadpool & Wolverine, the 2024 movie that he filmed with Ryan Reynolds which features the hit song. However the timing of the post - as well as its one word caption of 'Finally' - made it all the more cryptic. The video was posted the same day that Deborra-Lee took a swipe at her estranged husband amid the flurry of rumours that he cheated on her with his current girlfriend Sutton. Hugh and Sutton confirmed their relationship in early January after stepping out for a romantic date night in Los Angeles Following her decision to officially file for divorce from the Les Miserables star two years after announcing their separation, the Australian actress, 69, addressed her heartbreak in an exclusive statement to 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us,' she said. She continued, 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' Despite Hugh and Sutton only going public with their relationship in January, rumours are already circulating that public scrutiny is beginning to come between the couple. 'It's always hard dating in the public eye... but when you add their whole backstory and what they've put on the line as far as their reputations, the pressure rises,' an insider recently told Life and Style magazine. They added the pair were finding it challenging to keep the romance alive due to work commitments, including Hugh spending several months in Ireland to film a movie. 'Being apart for an extended period of time can be tough on any couple. There's a lot of harsh judgement about them online,' the source said. However, the couple, who were first romantically linked in October last year, are said to be 'madly in love', according to US Weekly. They ran in the same theatre circles for years, but only became friends after working together on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man while they were both with their former partners. The pair confirmed their relationship in early January after stepping out for a romantic date night in Los Angeles.
