Shrinking star: Once known for her ample curves, Jennifer Lopez looked stunning 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 diamante studded ankle boots.

The 40-year-old singer was performing her 1999 hits Waiting For Tonight and Let’s Get Loud and her new single Louboutins at Times Square in New York to kick off 2010. Despite miserable weather, more than 750,000 revelers braved the cold and rain to watch J.Lo 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: Jennifer Lopez’s form-fitting rhinestone-studded catsuit appeared almost see-through under the bright stage lights.

Unrestricted: The singer twisted and high-kicked her way through a performance watched by 750,000 people. Her audience cheered as she writhed on the stage before high-kicking along to Frank Sinatra’s classic New York, New York. J.Lo grew up in the Bronx but admitted she had never been to Times Square to celebrate New Year’s Eve.

I feel like a little girl!’ Seacrest, who was presenting Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, couldn’t hide his admiration for J.Lo’s costume. He grinned: ‘That outfit has made my year!’
