Party dress but make it cozy.
Jennifer Lopez made an appearance in London last night, attending a screening of her film Unstoppable—and her outfit was the perfect blend of glam and cozy. Lopez must have been channelling her inner Y2K leading lady, because her latest look is like something straight out of a rom-com. The white fuzzy coat? So Cameron Diaz inT he Holiday. The knit turtleneck dress? Could have been pulled straight from the set of Love Actually. The updo and face-framing strands? Would certainly have won over the likes of Hugh Grant or Colin Firth.
Her white sleeveless knit midi dress featured a thick turtleneck and a simple, form-fitting silhouette. She paired the slinky dress with a pair of matching white pumps, an ultra fuzzy white fur coat, and she carried a small matching clutch. The star swept her hair back into a sleek, low bun, leaving two strands hanging around her face, completing the Y2K rom-com look. In fact, the entire outfit is reminiscent of the iconic all-white look Lopez wore in her 2002 rom-com, Maid in Manhattan.
While Lopez may have been channelling rom-com vibes with her look last night, her new film takes rather a different tone. Unstoppable is a sports drama about the real-life American wrestler, Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and competed at Arizona State University. Lopez plays his mother, Judy.
The film is co-produced by Ben Affleck and his long-time friend and collaborator, Matt Damon. The press tour for the film began shortly after the news of Lopez and Affleck’s split after two years of marriage. Although Affleck opted against promoting the film with Lopez, he has praised her performance, telling Entertainment Weekly, “Jennifer is spectacular.”
William Goldenberg also told Variety that Lopez and Affleck have both been “professionals” when it came to the film. “Everybody’s a professional, and that’s their own personal thing,” he said. “I love them both. I mean, I know Ben better, but Jennifer was literally a dream to work with. She was incredible. And their personal life is their personal life.”
Lopez was recently pictured at another press event for Unstoppable, where she appeared to have a long chat with Damon, Affleck’s friend and colleague. “Jen and Matt began talking and had a long, deep conversation,” a source later told People of their meeting.
