Award-winning US singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has found herself in another legal mess after a photographer accused her of copyright infringement over photos from the 2025 Golden Globes.

Lopez turned heads on January 5 at the prestigious awards ceremony, stepping out in a jaw-dropping white gown and faux fur coat.

As expected, she posted five stunning photos on Instagram with the caption “GG Weekend Glamour,” showcasing her look for the night.

While fans and fashion lovers praised her style, photographer Edwin Blanco and his agency Backgrid had something else to say.

In a new lawsuit, Blanco and Backgrid are demanding $300,000 (over N444 million) from the singer, claiming she used two of their copyrighted photos without permission. They allege that the posts were not merely for fan engagement but for commercial self-promotion.

The lawsuit argues Lopez used the viral red carpet photos to shine a spotlight on her outfit and jewellery designers — moves that indirectly help her secure and maintain lucrative brand partnerships.

The suit stated, according to Yahoo News:

“Ms Lopez’s unauthorised use of the images is commercial in nature, intended for the purpose of self-promotion.”

Interestingly, the photographer revealed that Lopez’s team had already been contacted about the matter. They claim there was an agreement on payment, but Lopez failed to officially sign the licensing deal.

The lawsuit also states that Lopez’s team was previously contacted by the agency and had even agreed to a licensing arrangement and payment, but the agreement was never signed.

This isn’t Lopez’s first brush with such lawsuits. In both 2019 and 2020, she faced similar legal action over posting images online without seeking proper authorisation from photographers.

After news broke that JLo was being sued for posting her own pictures from the Golden Globes, netizens had a lot to say. While some slammed the photographer, others reminded celebs to always “license first.”
