JLo won't let recession dictate what she wears for Oscars

Washington, Feb 20 (ANI): Jennifer Lopez reckons ladies stepping out on the red carpet for the Oscars shouldn't dress down because of the ongoing recession.

The singer insists that at least she has no plans to dress down at the Academy Awards - because wearing borrowed gowns and jewellery is fun.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with playing dress up right now. Who wouldn't want to wear borrowed dresses and borrowed jewellery? Contactmusic quoted her, as telling the Women's Wear Daily website.

"I think you can get criticised if you're wearing borrowed dresses now because it's borrowed, and I think you can get criticised if it's not because you bought it during the current economy.

"So, I say do what makes you happy and wear what you want because the only thing that really matters is if your mother calls you up the next day and says, 'What were you wearing?'" she added. (ANI)
