Lopez certainly choose some Selena-esque outfits for the performance. She first stepped out in a jeweled crop top and pants with an overlay as she did the singer's iconic "washing machine" dance move. She then ripped off the top part of her outfit while preforming Selena's upbeat hit "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom." In total, there were three wardrobe changes for the performance.
