Cruel fans label Jennifer Lopez ‘worst dressed’ as she wears disco ball outfit at 2024 Toronto Film Festival
It’s been a year to forget so far for iconic songstress Jennifer Lopez. Not only has 2024 heralded the breakdown of her marriage to Ben Affleck – the filing of the couple’s divorce was announced last month – but she also canceled her planned tour of North America before it had even started.
But the bad news doesn’t stop there, as some fans have now labeled her the worst dressed at this year’s Toronto Film Festival. The awards ceremony took place last week, attracting any number of A-listers.
Among them was JLo, who it must be assumed is going through a rather trying period in her life right now. The 55-year-old donned a disco ball-esque dress for the occasion, stepping onto the red carpet with the aim of dazzling all those who looked upon her.
Dazzle she surely did, but not all those who got a look at her eye-catching dress appeared enthused.
The On the Floor singer’s metallic Tamara Ralph dress was undoubtedly striking, but internet users weren’t exactly falling over themselves to pay compliments. On the contrary, many were of the opinion that the glimmering number, which left both sides of Lopez’s body exposed, fastened with black velvet bows, demoted the entertainer to ‘worst dressed’.
Lopez was at the Toronto Film Festival for the premiere of her new movie Unstoppable, which she worked on with Ben Affleck. For his part, Affleck was predictably absent from the event – unsurprising given all that’s gone on between he and Lopez of late – with it reported that he had other work commitments.
It must be said that Lopez has never shied away from the spotlight, but the disco ball dress was conspicuous even for her. No sooner had she stepped onto the red carpet than did the internet erupt with opinions… and not all of them were kind.
“[Definitely] a worst dressed winner 🏅,” one rather cruel user wrote.
“It’s really ridiculous I feel like she had no class with that dress😮😮😮😮😮,” another penned.
A third added: “Desperate times call for tacky dresses.”
A fourth chimed: “She needs to take revenge out on her stylist.”
“This dress was seriously inappropriate for the type of film that […] was being premiered. This was not it,” another user wrote.
“I admire her fitness and drive but she’s a mom and I don’t think this is appropriate apparel to wear. Personally, I don’t like this outfit. It has no color. Plus, how can anyone walk and move wearing that [?]” opined one person on Facebook.
As mentioned above, Lopez filed for divorce a few weeks ago after months of speculation suggesting that she and Affleck’s marriage had wilted. The superstar couple looked set for a fairytale ending to their romance when they married in a surprise Las Vegas wedding back in 2022, but the writing has been on the wall for some time now that all was not well.
Both parties have been sighted without their wedding rings on at times this year, while Affleck was rumored to have moved out of the couple’s marital home in Beverly Hills. Lopez, meanwhile, canceled her planned tour of North America, citing a need to spend more time with her family.
