On Saturday, Jennifer Lopez wore a chic white and cream ensemble to the photo call for her new film Unstoppable during AFI Fest at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. The star was wearing a miniskirt that showed off her toned legs with matching nude platform Mary Jane heels.
On top, J.Lo wore a white blouse tucked into her shorts, which were cinched at the waist with a brown leather belt. Over the whole ensemble she had on a loose white jacket. For accessories, Lopez wore a heavy gold ring and carry a small white Strathberry leather purse. Her hair was down in honey blonde waves around her shoulders.
The film is a biopic about sports legend Anthony Robles, played by Jharrel Jerome. Lopez plays Robles mother, Judy. The film was co-produced by Lopez’s ex, Ben Affleck.
The star filed for divorce from her former husband in August of this year after two years of marriage. In a conversation this month with Interview magazine, she talked about how her recent marriage has influenced her outlook on love.
“I felt like, whoa, I got here. I’m good. I did all the work and look at where I am, and then it was like my whole fucking world exploded,” she said. “There’s no arrival point. There’s only getting better and growing if you want to. It’s either growing or dying, and I don’t want to do the dying part. And yeah, there’s times when I thought I figured it out, and then life goes, ‘Let’s send you another thing and see if you fall for it. Let’s see if you really have learned that lesson.’ And I hadn’t.”
She continued, “I understand that now in a much deeper way, which doesn’t mean that I won’t make mistakes in the future, but again, when your whole house blows up, you’re standing there in the rubble going, ‘How do I not ever let that happen again?’ And then you start examining it little by little saying, ‘Okay, I did this, this was my part in it, this was what I should have seen early on, this is what I didn’t look at.’ Those things are what really are the lessons.”
