PHOTO - Jennifer Lopez Wears a Belt to Cover Her Ni'pples While Rocking a Leather Skirt.

We thought we'd seen everything, then we saw Jennifer Lopez on the cover of her new album. And you thought turning a scarf into a mini skirt was risky. The America Idol host appears to be repurposing three pant holders as the world's most daring cropped top. Though, can it be considered "cropped" if there isn't any fabric to begin with?

We're not sure about that, but we are sure that the "First Love" singer has never looked hotter. The question is, at what cost?

Considering this scarlet's S&M costume is being worn for a photo shoot, there's isn't much risk for a wardrobe malfunction. We suspect a team of professionals baby-stepped the Bronx beauty into this exact position and covered her with a robe for the walk out. So that means we get to judge the look on form over function. Yes, there's a bit of a "world's sexiest overall jumper" thing going on, but that liquid leather fabric turns it quickly into a futuristic dominatrix.

...In a futuristic world where belts are shirts, apparently. For once, that is not a time we want to live to see.
