Jennifer Lopez had her Twitter fans help her decide what to wear for the last two weeks of American Idol, and she’s listening to their advice! “What should I wear on @americanidol tonight? #creamwithgold or #sparklywithtulle?” she Tweeted before the Top 9 episode. She ended up choosing the cream with gold option, but she picked sparkly with tulle for the next time around, shown right. The feminine frock is by Georges Chakra Couture, made with Chantilly lace and a Swarovski crystal bodice. We love how she added a crystal barrette to match the dress!
