As she performed in Recife, Brazil yesterday, Jennifer found that her harem-style trousers were not quite waterproof, as the bottoms got increasingly baggy the more wet they got.

Not QUITE waterproof: Jennifer was forced to hold on to the trousers as they got even heavier the more wet they got

The 42-year-old singer was forced to keep hold of the trousers as they threatened to fall down completely during the performance.

The sequinned gold and silver trousers were clearly not made to cope when wet, getting heavier and heavier as the routine progressed.

But, ever the professional, Jennifer kept going, flaunting her washboard abs in the outfit as she performed to the delighted crowd.

Hard-working: At 42, and with two children, there’s no denying the star’s dedication to her figure

Dancing again: The star shook her hips in the pouring rain

Wearing a sequinned New York baseball cap, her brunette locks soaked from rain and sweat, the singer grabbed her gold microphone and continued with her set despite the downpour.

Her dancers – a group of equally-chiselled men – didn’t waver either, and joined the singer on stage as the crowd roared.

Clearly happy with her performance, the star took to Twitter to thank her fans for braving the bad weather with her.

Jetset: Jennifer has returned to New York for a brief break after her South American show last night

‘Unforgettable night in Recife to end our SA tour!! Eu amo Brasil! Y GRACIAS a todos los JLOVE!RS por todo SA!! LOS QUIERO! Hasta la proxima!’ she wrote.

The show came days after Jennifer announced her original 48 shows in South and North America would been extended to Europe and the Middle East this fall, marking her first-ever global tour.

The star is expected to join her younger boyfriend, dancer Casper Smart, again on the road.

The 25-year-old was promoted to head choreographer shortly after they began dating in December of last year following her split from husband Marc Anthony.

But in addition to her extended tour, she also has some studio work to wrap up.

Jennifer recently announced that she will release a 13 track album with some of her greatest hits such as Waiting for Tonight and Love Don’t Cost a Thing.

Hitting store shelves on July 24th, a deluxe edition with three bonus songs and a DVD featuring music videos will also be available.
