Jennifer Lopez is bringing both glamour and grit to her role in the upcoming movie musical 'Kiss of the Spider Woman.' The superstar recently reflected on the physical challenges of performing in one of the film’s most elaborate costumes—a gold beaded gown weighing nearly 50 pounds.
During a sit-down with CBS Sunday Morning recently, Jennifer Lopez explained that the heavily embellished dress was extremely difficult to wear while executing demanding dance sequences. She admitted that the sheer weight of the gown made even simple lifts and leg movements feel nearly impossible. Despite the struggles, Lopez acknowledged that the gown ultimately looked breathtaking on screen, crediting Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood for her mastery in creating movement and elegance through the design.

Jennifer Lopez Praises 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' Costume Designer
The actress described her partnership with Atwood in 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' as a true collaboration. While Jennifer Lopez was able to provide input on shapes and colours, she said Atwood's precise vision shaped the character of Aurora and allowed her to fully embody the role. Lopez, who has always had a deep love for fashion, shared that the costumes gave her a clear sense of identity in each scene and helped her step into character seamlessly.
Beyond the dazzling 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' wardrobe, Lopez also opened up about her ongoing journey in Hollywood. She admitted that proving herself as an actress has often been an uphill battle, as many still see her first as a singer or dancer.

Lopez noted that she has faced scepticism throughout her career, but she approaches it with resilience. She considers herself an underdog at times, often misunderstood, yet determined to remain steady in her growth while staying true to who she is.
'Kiss of the Spider Woman' made its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and will arrive in theatres on 10th October. In the film, Jennifer Lopez stars as Aurora, a glamorous silver screen diva, alongside Diego Luna and Tonatiuh.
