Amid this personal turmoil, she also turned heads at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) red carpet, not just with her striking outfit but also with her interaction with one of her estranged husband’s famous friends on September 6.
At TIFF, she wore a striking silver metallic dress by Tamara Ralph, featuring a mirrorball effect. Adding sultriness, the dress left both sides of her curvaceous body exposed, fastened with black velvet bows.
She paired the dress with matching silver heels, a chic Judith Leiber clutch, and Hassanzadeh diamond jewelry. Lopez attended TIFF for the premiere of her latest movie “Unstoppable,” which she worked on with Affleck, who was noticeably absent from the event, reportedly due to work.
Upon seeing photos and videos of Lopez posing on the red carpet in her daring outfit, netizens were quick to share their opinions on her appearance. Many felt that Lopez’s dress did not look good.
Netizens were largely critical of Lopez’s outfit at TIFF. One called it a “worst dressed winner,” while others described the dress as a “disaster.” Another noted her outfit was “seriously inappropriate” for the event.
Some even questioned the outfit’s lack of class and practicality, with one remarking that it was unsuitable for a mother, and the dress lacked color, while also questioning how anyone could move comfortably in it.
More netizens acknowledged Lopez’s beauty but criticized her outfit, with one calling it unflattering and another describing it as one of her worst looks.
Amid the vitriol came a fan who praised, “She’s beautiful and I love her dress! ?.” On the other hand, a curious netizen pondered, “Was the dress for Ben to see?”
Lopez’s TIFF attendance comes just over two weeks since she filed for divorce from Affleck. While the “Gone Girl” actor wasn’t there, his best friend and fellow Tinseltown star Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, were.
Besides missing the TIFF for work-related reasons, sources reported that Affleck, who co-produced the movie based on wrestler Anthony Robles’ book with Damon through their company Artist Equity, skipped the premiere to spend time with his kids in Los Angeles.

Seemingly preempting swirling questions from the public about Affleck’s absence, “Unstoppable” director William Goldenberg briefly addressed the divorce drama.
Goldenberg disclosed, “Everybody’s a professional, and that’s their own personal thing. I love them both. I mean, I know Ben better, but Jennifer was literally a dream to work with […] And their personal life is their personal life.”
At some point during the event, Lopez, who stars in the film alongside famous actors Bobby Cannavale, Don Cheadle, and Jharrel Jerome, was spotted in the middle of a deep conversation with Damon.
The “Jason Bourne” star was captured holding hands with Lopez as the two chatted away. An eyewitness reported that their conversation lasted for over 20 minutes after Lopez sat down at an outdoor table with Damon and his wife.

While the content of their conversation is unknown, the timing of it seems to suggest that Damon might have been showing support for Lopez amid her divorce from Ben Affleck.

After getting engaged, they had a surprise Las Vegas wedding on July 16, 2022. A month later, they celebrated with a larger ceremony at Affleck’s Georgia estate. In her On the JLo newsletter, Lopez reportedly described the day as “full-circle” and “better” than expected.
The ceremony was personal, with the two walking down the aisle to “True Companion” by Marc Cohn. Lopez wore three custom wedding dresses, which included a turtleneck gown, a mermaid silhouette, and a chandelier pearl gown, which she called “dreamy.”
Jennifer Lopez Filed the Divorce Documents Herself
In a surprising move, Lopez filed the divorce documents without a lawyer. This approach, known as filing “pro per,” suggests she wants to handle the process independently. She also waived her right to spousal support and asked that the court deny Affleck any support as well.
Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez Have No Prenuptial Agreement
TMZ also reported that the divorce documents show that Lopez and Affleck did not have a prenuptial agreement. Despite their previous marriages and significant wealth, they didn’t protect their finances. As a result, any earnings or profits made during their marital years will be treated as community property.

Although Lopez has filed for divorce, their financial settlement remains unresolved. The couple’s Beverly Hills home is on the market, but negotiations have reportedly become tense. Additionally, Lopez and Affleck are searching for new homes, signaling the end of their shared life together.
Lopez and Affleck first became a media sensation in the early 2000s when their relationship, known as “Bennifer,” grabbed headlines. They got engaged and starred together in “Gigli” (2003) and “Jersey Girl” (2004), but their romance ended before “Jersey Girl” was released.

Over the next 20 years, both married other people — Lopez to Marc Anthony and Affleck to Jennifer Garner — but they reunited three years ago. Once back together, they frequently appeared at events, publicly supporting each other’s projects.
Their rekindled romance was further highlighted when Affleck made a cameo in Lopez’s Amazon Prime Video special, This Is Me … Now: A Love Story.
The Amazon special ties into Lopez’s latest album, “This Is Me … Now,” which revisits themes from her 2002 album, “This Is Me … Then,” inspired by her first relationship with Affleck.
