It was the impressive rear end that launched a modern-day diva.
However, as Jennifer Lopez strutted on stage in an absolutely stunning diamond-studded catsuit last night, her once ample bottom appeared to have been downsized.
Needless to say, there was no room for any lumps or bumps in a figure-hugging outfit that stole the show.

Shrinking star: Formerly known for her ample curves, Jennifer Lopez appeared slim on stage in New York as she celebrated the New Year last night. She paired the catsuit – which looked see-through under the stage lights – with a pair of matching diamanté studded ankle boots.
The 40-year-old singer was performing her 1999 hits Waiting For Tonight and Let’s Get Loud, as well as her new single Louboutins at Times Square in New York to celebrate the start of 2010. Despite miserable weather, more than 750,000 revelers braved the cold and rain to watch JLo sing. Millions also watched the show on television.
‘You didn’t think I could do that in the rain, did you?’ she said after risking a major wardrobe malfunction with a hugely energetic routine.
Showstopper: J.Lo’s figure-hugging rhinestone-studded bodysuit appeared semi-transparent under the bright stage lights.
Unrestricted: The singer enthusiastically performed in front of a crowd of 750,000 people, twisting and high-kicking her way through the show. Her audience cheered as she danced on stage, high-kicking along to Frank Sinatra’s classic “New York, New York.” J.Lo, who grew up in the Bronx, revealed that she had never been to Times Square to celebrate New Year’s Eve. After her performance, she told host Ryan Seacrest: “This is my first time ever coming down here. It’s just so good, hopeful, amazing, loving energy. I feel like a little girl!” Seacrest, who was hosting Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, couldn’t contain his admiration for J.Lo’s outfit. He grinned and said: “That outfit has made my year!”
Fun fact: Although J.Lo’s outfit was completely covered in fabric from head to toe, it still managed to be very revealing.
At the end of the decade, J. Lo confessed that it was her first time being at Times Square for New Year despite growing up in The Bronx.
