Jennifer Lopez and her new husband Ben Affleck flew to New York City this past weekend, and it didn’t take long for Lopez to have a standout street style moment while out in Manhattan.
The singer paired a sheer lilac lace dress with silver platform heels and stud earrings. Lopez wore her hair in a low ponytail and accessorized with a white mini bag and reflective sunglasses. According to the Daily Mail, Lopez was seen with her daughter Emme and stepdaughter Seraphina, taking the two out to brunch at Sadelle’s and then to see Into the Woods on Broadway.
Lopez was also photographed leaving Bergdorf Goodman that day, dressed much more casually in an oversized white top, biker shorts, and white sneakers.
Lopez has been frequently photographed by paparazzi wearing stylish outfits over the last few weeks. The singer has been traveling and had major fashion moments in Paris; Capri, Italy; and her home of Los Angeles before making her way to the East Coast.
Lopez revealed about a month ago that she and Affleck quietly tied the knot in Las Vegas. The couple is set to have a bigger party to celebrate their wedding in Georgia soon.
Lopez shared intimate details from her Vegas wedding to Affleck in her On the JLo newsletter a day after the ceremony. She wrote:
Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.
We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed).
So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives. They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle. But in the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last.
When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another. We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives. Thank you to the Little White Wedding chapel for letting me use the break room to change while Ben changed in the men’s room.
They were right when they said, “all you need is love”. We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to. Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things—and worth waiting for.
