Carson arrived at the 'CBS Mornings' show in New York City as part of that press tour wearing a green dress from Elie Saab's Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2023-2024 collection.

For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ Performing iconic songs including 'On the Floor,' 'Ain't Your Mama' and 'Dance Again,' Lopez sizzled with her high energy and killer dance moves. Although I was disappointed 'Jenny From the Block' did not have its own moment to shine, Lopez still performed her 2002 hit single as a medley with Queen's 'We Will Rock You.' A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) To celebrate her 56th year, she sang 'Birthday,' the single released on July 24, which was much appreciated by the crowd. The superstar thanked her fans and urged them to love one another and to pursue what they love. Lopez also joked about the UAE heat. 'I like it hot!' she said, fanning herself. With multiple outfit changes and quick intervals, the show switched from high energy songs to slow ballads and medleys. Lopez paid tribute to her Latin culture and performed some of her hit Spanish songs including 'Que Hiciste' and 'Si Una Vez.' She sang while dancing the flamenco in an outfit inspired by the traditional traje de flamenca, a dress traditionally worn by women at festivals in Andalusia, Spain. The hit singer is no stranger to the Gulf and turned heads in April at the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah. And last November she hit the stage at the '1001 Seasons of Elie Saab' event in Riyadh.
