5 Times Jennifer Lopez Dressed For Revenge In Spicy Outfits After Ben Affleck Divorce
Jennifer Lopez is giving life to the revenge dress following her split from Ben Affleck. The concept was first popularized by Princess Diana, who stepped out in that unforgettable black, strapless number in 1994, the same day that then-Prince Charles admitted to infidelity in their marriage. Diana looked so good that we collectively forgot about ol' Charlie and narrowed in on her perfection. Seems like that's the idea behind the revenge dress, and several celebrities have rocked revenge dresses that have proven unforgettable. Not to mention the fact that Taylor Swift has done this, like, 13 times, proving that she's the revenge-dress queen. Back to J. Lo. While there's no talk of infidelity between Lopez and Affleck, the end of a marriage is no easy thing, and Lopez has been sauntering about in looks that are no doubt tormenting her ex-husband, and giving him a lot to reflect on. Namely, what he lost. Zing!
While Diana wore one dress, Lopez — never one for minimalism — has been serving look after look that's more delicious than the next. Our gal is not taking her divorce lying down, and she is looking even better than she did with her Dunkin' Donuts man. For the record, she and Affleck filed for divorce on August 20, 2024 and their divorce was finalized in January 2025. So ever since the fall of 2024, Lopez has looked absolutely stunning, giving a whole new life to the concept of revenge.

This new version had a gold shimmer that added to the glam factor. On top of that, the gown was totally backless, so it was as slinky as imaginable.
