The metallic gown’s gaping slits were held together on the sides with black velvet bows, showing off significant swaths of skin down both sides of her body.

Affleck, who is a producer of the biopic, was not in attendance. Lopez posed here with co-stars Bobby Cannavale, Jharrel Jerome, Don Cheadle and co-producer (and Affleck BFF) Matt Damon. Getty Images Lopez said she almost didn’t wear the daring gown, but said “f—k it.” Getty Images
While the look certainly made a statement — and showed estranged husband Ben Affleck what he’s missing three weeks after the singer, 55, filed for divorce — the headline-making moment almost didn’t happen.
“There was a discussion about whether I should or shouldn’t. And I was like, f— it,” Lopez told People with a laugh, adding that she “felt good.”
J.Lo finished the look with a metallic Judith Leiber clutch, Hassanzadeh jewelry and Dolce & Gabbana platform heels, but eagle-eyed fans noticed one thing missing: her rib tattoo dedicated to Affleck.

Conspicuously absent on her left side, the “On the Floor” singer’s ink featured an infinity sign with an arrow through it, and “Jennifer” and “Ben” written in cursive on opposing sides on the shape. It’s unclear if she covered up the design with makeup, or if she had the tattoo permanently removed.
Affleck has a similar tattoo: a pair of crossed arrows with a “J” and “B” centered between the two. The couple had the his-and-hers tats done on Valentine’s Day in 2023, their first together as husband and wife, with the “Marry Me” actress declaring on Instagram at the time, “#CommitmentIsSexy.”

Lopez certainly looked confident in her first public red carpet appearance since her split, but Affleck was notably absent. The actor serves as a producer for the biopic alongside BFF Matt Damon.
Damon caught up with Lopez at the event, however, as the two were seen holding hands and deep in conversation.
Perhaps the “Bourne Identity” star was complimenting her outfit.
