In a move that screams “eat your heart out,” Jennifer Lopez strutted down the Toronto International Film Festival red carpet in a jaw-dropping naked dress that left little to the imagination. The 55-year-old sensation was there to promote her latest film, Unstoppable, which she produced with none other than her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
Just weeks after filing for divorce from Affleck, J-Lo proved she’s living up to her film’s name in a Tamara Ralph creation that can only be described as sartorial revenge. The gown featured dazzling silver mirror embroidery with completely open sides, held together by strategically placed black velvet bows, leaving her iconic curves on full display. It’s safe to say this look will go down in the annals of revenge dressing history.
While Ben was noticeably absent from the premiere (despite his producer credit on the film), J-Lo didn’t seem to mind flying solo at the September 6 event. She completed her show-stopping ensemble with sky-high metallic platforms, a matching Judith Leiber clutch, and enough Hassanzadeh diamonds to blind the paparazzi.

An insider recently told People magazine that Ben and J-Lo’s divorce “has the potential to get ugly” due to some financial sticking points. With no prenup in place and J-Lo’s net worth reportedly double that of Affleck’s net worth, things could get interesting. But if this red carpet appearance is any indication, Lopez is too busy shining to worry about the details.
Despite the couple’s recent split, the film’s director, William Goldenberg, was also quick to squash any rumors of post-production drama. He recently told Variety, “Everybody’s a professional, and that’s their own personal thing. I love them both. I mean, I know Ben better, but Jennifer was literally a dream to work with. She was incredible.”
Interestingly, Ben had nothing but praise for working with J-Lo on Unstoppable back in March. He gushed to CBS Sunday Morning, “What fun, what a joy to do something with her, see her be great, go to work with your wife, go to work with your best friend.”
According to Page Six, Affleck was busy looking surprisingly chipper in Los Angeles during the film’s debut at TIFF. But his BFF and longtime collaborator Matt Damon showed up to support the film, which was produced by their company Artists Equity. Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso walked the red carpet, with Matt even posing for a few (likely awkward) group photos with J-Lo.
As for the film itself? It’s based on the inspiring true story of wrestler Anthony Robles. But let’s be real—after this red carpet moment, all anyone will be talking about is J-Lo’s naked dress and the art of looking fabulous as ever post-breakup.
