Is there tension brewing between pop icons Jennifer Lopez and Celine Dion? Fans seem to think so after a recent video captured Lopez casting some intense looks in the direction of the renowned Canadian singer. The footage shows the two performers, both dressed in stunning gowns, taking photos alongside Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab, who stands between them. Actress Halle Berry and singer Camila Cabello also joined the scene, with Cabello later moving next to Dion, ensuring an even lineup of women around Saab.
As the moment unfolded, viewers noticed Lopez frequently casting her gaze away from the camera toward where Dion was positioned. It’s unclear if Lopez was intentionally focused on Dion or simply distracted by something off-screen. In certain angles of the video, Dion isn’t even visible, but during the parts where she is shown, she appears to be ignoring Lopez altogether.
Online reactions to Lopez’s behavior were swift. One observer commented on the clip, “Look at J.Lo eyeing up Celine Dion… darling, there’s no comparison, Celine is Queen, get over yourself!” Another noted the apparent insecurity in Lopez’s actions, stating, “Celine didn’t even glance her way.” A third fan added, “J.Lo can’t keep her eyes off Celine,” with a fellow viewer suggesting, “Because she’s jealous of her, that’s what.” One user even inquired, “Is there any beef between them?”
The event in question took place in Saudi Arabia during Saab’s runway show “1001 Seasons of Elie Saab,” celebrating his 45-year legacy. At some point in the festivities, all the women took to the stage, with Lopez, Dion, and Cabello performing, while Berry was there to honor Saab by wearing a gown he created for her historic Oscar win in 2002 as the first Black woman to achieve that accolade.
Dion dazzled the crowd in a gold sequined gown, performing classics like “The Power of Love” and “I’m Alive.” Meanwhile, Lopez swapped her elegant dark green halter gown for a silver sparkling bodysuit to deliver a nearly eight-minute medley that kicked off with “I Will Survive” and included her popular hits “Waiting for Tonight,” “On the Floor,” and “Let’s Get Loud.”
As speculation heats up about a potential rivalry, fans will be keeping a close eye on these two formidable divas.
