Jennifer Lopez went full Power Ranger mode at the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday night.

The 55-year-old was fully decked out in an all-pink look that consisted of a skintight catsuit, matching rose-colored shades and a metallic clutch, The New York Post reports.

The “On The Floor” singer was attending a qualifying race as a guest of Ferrari. She is expected perform at the post-race concert powered by MDLBEAST, Saudi Arabia’s premier entertainment company.

Lopez’s pink catsuit certainly caused a stir across the Jeddah Corniche Circuit pit lane when she strutted her stuff before making her way inside the iconic Ferrari team’s garage.

She was also a guest of race organisers and appeared on the global television broadcast where commentators cracked some shameless dad jokes when TV cameras captured her with race officials.

The entertainer was filmed by TV cameras during the earlier final practice session — which unfolded during the day before the qualifying session was held under lights on Sunday morning (AEST).

Sky Sports F1 commentators Karun Chandhok and David Croft were having a laugh about Lopez’s presence at the track before Croft referenced Lopez’s 1999 hit ‘Waiting for tonight’.

“I’m surprised she’s here at the moment,” Croft began his delightfully dorky gag.

“I thought she was waiting for tonight. JLo fans would have got that.”

It was also well noted by fans that the pop singer got very chummy with F1 legend Lewis Hamilton when they posed for photos at the track.

Lopez’s eye-catching pink threads — although stylish — is a more understated look for the pop star, who’s been known to have a flare for dramatic ensembles.

Earlier this month, the “Hustlers” star wore a black plunging gown and oversized white cape for the Broadway opening night of George Clooney’s “Good Night, and Good Luck” play.

The ensemble, which was designed by Saiid Kobeisy, turned heads with its removable white cape that featured a billowy fabric on the shoulders and a long train.

Lopez knows how to make a statement at the Grand Prix, though, as she’s attended at least once before.

The “Waiting for Tonight” singer was also present at a party for the popular racing event in 2023 in Las Vegas with her then-husband Ben Affleck by her side.

The A-listers hosted a star-studded poker event at the time that benefitted Affleck’s non-profit Eastern Congo Initiative, which he founded in 2009.

For the philanthropic event, Lopez stunned in a cutaway dress designed by David Koma.

The one-shouldered gown included black, bejewelled fabric with choker detailing and a thigh-high split. She accessorised the sleek look at the time with silver drop earrings and a small black purse.

Affleck, 52, meanwhile, wore a classic navy suit paired with a white button-down and black shoes.

The former couple is no longer together.They settled their divorce in January after two years of marriage.
