It’s been a tough year for the legendary Jennifer Lopez. Not only did 2024 bring the end of her marriage to Ben Affleck—announcing their divorce just last month—but she also canceled her North American tour before it even started.
Things didn’t get any easier for her. Last week at the Toronto Film Festival, some fans dubbed her the “worst dressed” of the event. The festival, known for attracting top celebrities, saw Lopez making a splash on the red carpet in a dress that drew a lot of attention—for better or for worse.
The 55-year-old star, who’s clearly been having a rough time, wore a striking metallic gown by designer Tamara Ralph. The dress was covered in shimmering material and featured large, exposed sections on her sides, secured with black velvet bows. Despite its eye-catching design, the outfit didn’t win over everyone.
In fact, the internet was buzzing with negative comments, and many critics labeled Lopez as the “worst dressed” of the night.
Lopez was at the festival for the premiere of her film Unstoppable, which she worked on with Affleck. However, Affleck was notably missing from the event, reportedly busy with other work.
Though Lopez is known for her bold fashion choices, her disco ball-inspired dress seemed to push the limits even for her. Social media quickly exploded with mixed reactions. One user harshly remarked, “[Definitely] a worst-dressed winner 🏅,” while another wrote, “It’s ridiculous. I feel like she showed no class with that dress.”
A third added, “Desperate times call for tacky dresses,” and someone else suggested, “She needs to take revenge on her stylist.”
Some people even questioned if the dress was right for the occasion. One Facebook user commented, “This outfit just wasn’t suitable for the type of film being premiered.” Another added, “I admire her fitness and drive, but as a mom, I don’t think this outfit is appropriate. Plus, how could anyone move comfortably in that?”
This news follows Lopez’s recent divorce filing, which came after months of rumors about trouble in her marriage. The couple, who seemed to be living a fairytale after their surprise Las Vegas wedding in 2022, had been seen without their wedding rings in recent months. Affleck was even rumored to have moved out of their Beverly Hills home, while Lopez canceled her tour, stating she needed more time with her family.
