Jennifer Lopez turned the red carpet at opening night of Broadway’s new production of Othello into a family affair when she brought her child Emme as her date.

The 55-year-old actress — who is ‘ready to date again’ — set heads turning in a sizzling two-piece ensemble that bared her ripped abs as she arrived at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.

While she favored a glamorous sparkling look covered in rhinestones, beads and gold sequins, Emme, 17, rocked a cool black pinstriped suit.

The family duo led a bevy of stars — including former President Joe Biden and his wife Jill — at the opening night performance of Shakespeare’s Othello.

The new production, which is directed by Kenny Leon, features a pair of A-list leads in Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Washington is returning to Shakespeare after starring in Joel Coen’s acclaimed film The Tragedy Of Macbeth (2021) to play the title character, while Gyllenhaal appears as the devious Iago.

Jennifer’s ensemble included a high-necked top with long sleeves and masses of stones and sequins running down from her neck and along her sleeves.

The cheeky look also featured the sparklers suggestively highlighting her bust and navel. 

The Out Of Sight star also arrived in a furry cropped black coat, and she carried a slim black clutch.

She turned around on the red carpet to reveal that her outfit featured an expanded cutout over her back.

Jennifer completed her ensemble by tying her hair back tightly in an intricate bun, which put her impeccably made-up face and her Estate diamond loop earrings on display.

She added some extra sparkle to her look with an enormous Briony Raymond 1960s-era Bombé diamond ring, as well as an Estate Diamond cocktail ring on a tiered, octagonal ban.

Emme — whom Jennifer has referred to using they/them pronouns — looked stylish in a black pinstriped suit with peaked lapels.

They wore it with a light-gray shirt and a black-and-white plaid tie, along with chunky black leather shoes and a silver necklace with a large single pearl dangling from it.

They styled their dark hair in a shaggy mop and wore tasteful dark tortoiseshell horn-rimmed glasses, and they decorated their lapel buttonhole with a tiny hanging gold watch.

The premiere featured a high-profile entrance from former President Joe Biden, who flashed a salute as she headed toward the theater.

He wore a traditional tuxedo with peaked lapels and a black bow tie for the black-tie event, while Dr. Jill Biden was dressed in a shimmering powder blue dress at his side. 

Other stars on the red carpet included Katie Holmes, who traded out her usual casual-cool ensembles for an off-the-shoulder black dress.

Oscar winner Ariana DeBose sizzled in a long red dress with jeweled spaghetti straps and pointy-toed black pumps.

Nicole Scherzinger also added a splash of color with a golden-brown suit dress. 

It featured a jacket with peaked lapels over a matching pleated skirt with a high slit, and she wore complementary suede pumps.

In a video posted to her Instagram Stories before the red-carpet event, Jennifer Lopez gave her fans a quick update on the drive over.

‘I have the most amazing date for the black-tie premiere of Othello,’ she gushed, before panning over to reveal that it was Emme.

Her child smiled and gave a nervous wave to the camera before she turned it back to her face.
