It is believed the cost of the wedding was around $6.7 million, and the four-day-long festivities kicked off with DJ Tiësto hosting the first night.
J.Lo gave a power-packed performance after the couple said “I do” on November 23.
She was reportedly paid $2 million for the show, which included hits like Waiting for Tonight and Get Right.

Initially, the pop diva was captured wearing a sparkling pink sari to the wedding.
She was later seen in more revealing outfits that were similar to her usual concert wardrobe.
At one point, the Jenny from the Block singer raised a toast to the newlyweds and said, “May these families be united on this gorgeous day, and God bless us all.”
“Why does she demean herself like this??” one critic asked online

While fans are used to seeing her onstage in daring outfits, some netizens claimed she was in a “vulgar dress” and called it a “massive cultural-sensitivity fail.”
“Imagine wasting your money on this,” one said.
“This is why she's been divorced 5 times,” another claimed, “because she's a narcissist.”

“The lack of clothing,” said another. “She is an embarrassment… what an insult to her hosts.”
“Is she taking a poop on stage?” another asked.
“It’s called reading the room. You don’t treat a traditional Indian wedding like a Vegas residency,” one commented. “Being a global star doesn’t give you a free pass to disrespect the culture hosting you.”

Others defended the outfit choices and said, “They ordered a diva, they got a diva. What’s the problem?”
“It’s a billionaire’s wedding,” said another. “I’m pretty sure she’s dressed exactly like they want her to be or they’d have called in someone else. Let’s be for real JLO ain’t there for the vocals.”

Jennifer has had a busy year so far, with a string of shows for her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour and the release of her movie Kiss of the Spider Woman in October.
She said last month that her separation from her fourth husband, Ben Affleck, made her much more “self-assured” and “self-aware.”
“When I got divorced this last time, it was the best thing that ever happened to me,” she said on SiriusXM's Howard Stern Show in October.
Elsewhere in the interview, Howard asked her, “Do you think you've truly been loved?”
She paused and replied, “No.”
“What I learned, it's not that I'm not lovable, it's that they're not capable ... They don't have it in them,” she said.
“...And they gave me what they had. They gave me all of it, every time. All the rings, all the things I could ever want. The houses, the rings, the marriage. All of it,” she continued.

But the issue was that “I didn't love myself,” she said.
The On The Floor singer said the divorce helped her understand that the “core of the thing is you — it's nobody else.”

“Now I'm able to sit here in a much more self-assured, self-aware way of the things that have happened to me …” she said.
“[I] feel really comfortable and good in being myself, all the good parts and all the kind of complicated things,” she added.
“The desperation is very real,” one netizen commented on her wedding attire
