She soon changed into a nude skin-tight bodysuit featuring glossy black panels which saw her arms fully covered in sleek latex.
Jennifer's light brown tresses flew back in the wind and she accentuated her natural beauty with a full face of make-up.
Performing just a few miles away from the White House, the Ain't Your Mama songstress told attendees: 'We are singing and dancing right here on their front lawn, misbehaving. Yes, we are."
Thanking her queer fans for their ongoing support, Jennifer added on the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus: 'Over the years, your love and your support have been a source of strength for me and today I am here to celebrate you.
"I'm so happy to be able to be here to celebrate community, diversity, love, and freedom.'
For her finale, Jennifer covered George Michael's Freedom! '90 with backing vocals of the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington and a moving video tribute featuring LGBTQ+ pioneers including Marsha P. Johnson.
She also unveiled a brand-new Pride anthem, I'm Free, and gave fans an early glimpse of her next film project.
Jennifer debuted the title number from Kiss of the Spider Woman, her upcoming musical about a gay man surviving the horrors of an Argentinian prison by retreating into daydreams of a glamorous movie star.
This year's WorldPride DC marked 50 years since the first Pride events were held in the U.S. capital.
The festival - part of a city-wide celebration lasting several weeks - included a major parade, protest marches, and performances from big names like Doechii, Cynthia Erivo, and Troye Sivan.
Jennifer Lopez slammed by fans over 'embarrassing' American Music Awards kiss with female dancer
Stars including Paris Hilton, Tinashe, Trisha Paytas and Betto Who also took to the stage.
It comes just weeks after JLo was slammed by fans for an "embarrassing" American Music Awards routine, which saw her kiss both male and female dancers.
Her lively choreography opened the Las Vegas event on Memorial Day, and saw the I'm Real popstar belt out a variety of the year's top hits.
As Jennifer transitioned from singing Benson Boone's Beautiful Things into Teddy Swims' Lose Control, she swooped in for a kiss with her backing dancers.
First she shared a smooch with a male dancer, before a female grabbed her head for an extended snog.
The unexpected kisses saw JLo blasted by fans who were left hugely confused by her behaviour.
One suggested on X she had "lost the plot" while another posted: "Why is Jennifer Lopez kissing everyone at the AMAs?"
Another viewer wrote: "Just looked up from my phone and JENNIFER LOPEZ IS KISSING A GIRL?!?!"
Others then suggested the Maid In Manhattan actress had staged the routine intentionally to make ex husband Ben Affleck jealous, after their divorce was finalised.
JLo stripped to a semi-sheer catsuit adorned with silver panels and jewel detail for her performance, cutting a glam figure as she styled her hair poker-straight.
The AMAs host kicked off with her 2012 tune Dance Again before following with some of the year's top hits including Billie Eilish's Birds Of A Feather and Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us.
She also made her mark on the event, which saw 80-year-old Rod Stewart honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, with a series of outfit changes.
The star was back hosting the AMAs after having previously stepped into the role in 2015.
The Love Don't Cost A Thing vocalist first graced the AMAs stage in 2001 and has gone onto perform 10 times at the prestigious awards.
Previously, event bosses gushed over JLo's return to the AMA's stage - as other stars including Taylor Swift gave the event a miss.
"We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lopez back to host the American Music Awards," Jay Penske, the CEO of Dick Clark Productions said.
"Jennifer's incredible talent and incomparable stage presence make her the ideal host of the show.
"We know she will bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the official kick off celebration of summer."

What It Feels Like For a Girl is fearless TV - exactly what the BBC was made for
Released at the start of Pride month, the BBC adaptation of the bestselling book What It Feels Like For a Girl should have been a joyous moment for the LGBTQ+ community. But, perhaps unsurprisingly, given the current political climate across the world, Paris Lees' memoir coming to life on screen sparked a wave of transphobic commentary. From prominent newspaper columnists cruelly and incorrectly using male pronouns when discussing Lees' in their nasty 'reviews' to the sadly predictable tweets, this new BBC series has received far more hostile attention than it would have done had it not been centred around a transwoman's lived experience. Amid the controversy that occurs whenever trans people dare tell their stories, it's essential to not focus on 'backlash' and instead judge queer art on its substance rather than superfluous outrage. So, is What It Feels Like For A Girl any good? In short, yes - anyone refusing to watch this bold new series because of their views on gender identity is cutting their nose off to spite their face. What It Feels Like For a Girl is original, bold, witty, and sometimes uncomfortable viewing, with complicated characters that have you constantly changing your opinion of them. Set in the early 00s, allowing for a wonderful dose of Y2K nostalgia, What It Feels Like For a Girl follows 13-year-old Byron as they try to escape a life of homophobic bullying and forge a new path for themselves. Bryon's fed up with their dad - the weightlifting, womanising Gaz - and their mum, who fled to Turkey like Shirley Valentine. They've had enough of the people in Hucknall, until they meet the captivating Lady Die and The Fallen Divas and begin a rollercoaster ride of hedonism in the East Midlands. The main focus of the series is obviously Bryon's journey with their gender identity and the LGBTQ+ community, but What It Feels Like For a Girl is also packed with universal experiences that working-class people from the straight community will relate to and understand. I first read What It Feels Like For A Girl shortly after losing my nan, with whom I lived as a teenager. As a fellow 'nan kid', reading Bryon's love for their grandmother – or 'Mommar' - felt almost therapeutic and cathartic as I wrestled with my grief. A close relationship with a grandparent, of course, isn't something that's exclusively working-class, but in What It Feels Like For a Girl, Lees manages to perfectly summarise just what it feels like to grow up with perhaps a little less money than others but more love from a grandparent than the rich will ever know of. A TV series inspired by a book from a well-known public figure that has sold millions of copies across the world shouldn't be seen as such a radical act - it wasn't when Richard Osman landed a Netflix deal to adapt his twee 'cosy' crime waffle - but here we are. I'm loath to praise the BBC for commissioning this series - because it shouldn't be such a rarity to see trans authors get TV adaptations - but it is refreshing to see the public service broadcaster actually follow its Royal Charter and provide quality, diverse, and informative content to licence fee payers. What It Feels Like For A Girl will likely be a stand alone series, given the fact it's based on Lees' memoir, but hopefully 'sequels' will come in the form of new, fresh stories from other LGBTQ+ writers finding their way onto iPlayer.

Rita Ora displays a hint of under-boob in a skimpy orange bikini as she promotes new single on Instagram
Rita Ora showed off her toned physique in a skimpy bikini while promoting her new single on Monday. The Let Me Love You singer, 34, was filmed soaking in the sun on holiday while strutting around poolside listening to Heat, which she released on Friday. Rita looked sensational for the video posted on Instagram as she displayed a hint of under-boob in the vibrant orange bikini. Getting in the holiday spirit, the 34-year-old sported both a body chain and a number of anklets. Referencing her new tune, Rita captioned the video: 'Summer 25 just got hotter.' 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. Heat has been released ahead of Rita's performance at the World Pride Music Festival in Washington on the weekend. The former The X Factor judge described the track - which features a music video set in Miami - as 'special' to her. 'I'm obsessed with this track,' she said, 'and honestly, I just wanted to have fun with it. It's bold, cheeky, and totally drenched in golden, feel-good energy. 'For me, it's all about celebrating freedom, joy, being unapologetically yourself and owning who you are. 'Dropping Heat on the same day as my World Pride performance feels like the perfect way to kick off summer - it's such a special moment for me and for my fans who have supported me over the years.' Heat is expected to feature on the pop star's upcoming album which is yet to have been named. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie Minogue for the first leg of her Tension tour after she previously revealed that the Aussie's 2023 mega-hit 'Padam Padam' was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie. But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song. Lostboy told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'We wrote Padam in February 2022 and there were maybe four or five months of us sitting on it, then I sent it to their label, and someone suggested to me, 'Kylie would kill this.'' He added: 'They were unsure and there was a moment when Rita was going to cut it and it was worming around a few artists on that label. 'They were trying to make it work but they didn't think it was for Kylie.' Rita kicked off her support of Kylie earlier this year, gushing after her first gig: 'First night of the tour, wow the reception was incredible and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to connect with North America. It feels like such a huge compliment to open up for such an icon.' The music video for Rita's new single sees her clad in a skimpy bikini while soaking in the Miami sun Kylie's Tension Tour will conclude on August 26. She will then head to New York for two shows at Madison Square Garden before stopping for one show at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK.
