A new trend is spreading across social media, encouraging people with female anatomy to do something called “vaginamaxxing.” But health experts are warning it could cause serious problems. Wanting to feel attractive and taking care of one’s appearance is nothing new. Beauty trends have always come and gone, and standards of attractiveness have shifted dramatically throughout history. But these days, it has gone beyond hairstyles, workouts, or makeup. People are now changing their appearance with everything from fillers to cosmetic surgeries of all kinds. Across social media, the term “-maxxing” has become attached to different ways of supposedly “enhancing” one’s appearance. “Looksmaxxing,” “Jawmaxxing,” and even “Ballmaxxing” are terms many online users are already familiar with. These trends encourage people to alter their appearance in order to “look their best,” sometimes through methods medical professionals have warned may be dangerous.

Jennifer Lopez set the stage ablaze at the 2025 World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C., last week, unleashing her signature fearless fashion with a jaw-dropping array of barely-there outfits.
The pop icon’s sultry looks left fans gasping — but not everyone was cheering.
Haters took to social media to slam JLo, branding her “desperate” for the risqué ensemble. “For goodness sake, put on some clothes!” one critic fumed.
Jennifer Lopez turned heads and raised eyebrows at the 2025 World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C., delivering a show-stopping performance dripping with her signature bold style.
The 55-year-old superstar strutted across the stage in a series of jaw-dropping outfits, but her fearless fashion choices sparked a heated debate online, with some fans cheering her confidence and others slamming her as “desperate.”
Shimmering silver bodysuit
One standout look was a shimmering silver bodysuit by The Blonds, adorned with hundreds of clear rhinestones and featuring a plunging neckline and daringly high-cut legs that showcased her toned physique.
Another was a sleek black patent leather catsuit by Rey Ortiz, complete with faux beige cutouts framing her hips. JLo also set the stage ablaze in a sequined ensemble that mimicked flames, amplifying her fiery presence.
On Instagram, Lopez gave a “major shoutout” to The Blonds for “slaying” her looks and to Rey Ortiz for that “fierce black catsuit moment.” She gushed, “You all didn’t just understand the assignment, you rewrote it. Queens of the stage, crowned and confirmed!”
But not everyone was impressed. Critics took to social media to voice their disapproval. “For the life of me I don’t understand why she has to perform half nak*d all the time,” one commenter wrote, according to Bored Panda.
“We get it! You have a fabulous body for your age. Enough already. Or why bother with clothes at all?”
Another chimed in, “I think someone is getting desperate,” while a third bluntly stated, “Act your age seriously.” Some even called her revealing outfits “desperate measures for attention.”
On the flip side, JLo’s loyal fans showered her with praise. “Just when we think we’ve seen it all, you give us MORE. Unstoppable,” one supporter raved. Another added, “If I looked like her I would expose everything.”
”Aside from how young she still looks, can we talk about how she still also looks like herself? By avoiding some fillers and shit she’s avoided getting botched up trying to stay looking young and I love that for her. Still a 10/10. We’ll never have a more beautiful superstar,” a third commented.
Kissing a female dancer
During her World Pride performance, Lopez took a moment to celebrate her queer fans, saying, “Over the years, your love and your support have been a source of strength for me and today I am here to celebrate you.”
She continued, “I’m so happy to be able to be here to celebrate community, diversity, love, and freedom.”
The performance came hot on the heels of her hosting gig at the 2025 American Music Awards, where she stirred controversy by kissing both a male and a female dancer during a steamy medley featuring hits like Billie Eilish’s Birds of a Feather, Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us, and Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso.
The kisses, particularly the one with the female dancer, drew accusations of queerbaiting, with some claiming she was using LGBTQ+ themes for publicity. “Nobody else wants to kiss her, so they have to,” one hater snarked.
Another wrote, “She’s desperate for attention. And she’s getting it by doing stupid things.” Some speculated she was trying to make ex-husband Ben Affleck jealous, with one commenter saying, “After 4 husbands she needed to go to the other side.”
Speaking of Affleck, reports this month suggest the Gone Girl actor is eager to sever ties with Lopez after their 2022 marriage ended in divorce earlier this year.
Sources claim the former couple slashed the price of their 12-bedroom Bel Air mansion from $68 million to $60 million, despite purchasing it for $60,850,000 in May 2023.
“Ben and J.Lo slashed the price on their Beverly Hills mansion for $8 million less than they paid for it, but this is nothing to Ben,” a source told Daily Mail. “He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined.”
The source added, “Ultimately, he just hopes that they find a buyer soon and does not care that he takes a multi-million-dollar cut. His marriage and divorce cost him millions and what is another couple million? It is a small price to pay for Ben.” Despite the financial hit, the insider noted that Affleck is aware Lopez will remain a presence in his life due to their children’s friendships, but “this house is the one last thing that is a symbol of their marriage.”
Whether she’s dazzling in rhinestones or stirring up drama, JLo’s World Pride performance proves she’s still a force to be reckoned with — loved by some, criticized by others, but impossible to ignore.
