For legendary singer Jennifer Lopez, this year has been one to forget so far. In addition to announcing last month that she and Ben Affleck had filed for divorce, 2024 has marked the end of their marriage. She also called off her scheduled North American tour before it had begun.
The awful news doesn’t end there, though, as some admirers have now declared her to be the Toronto Film Festival’s worst dressed person of this year. An abundance of A-list celebrities attended the awards ceremony last week.
Among them was JLo, who is presumably going through a difficult time in her life at the moment. For the event, the 55-year-old dressed like a disco ball and walked the red carpet with the intention of stunning everyone in her path.
She dazzled, for sure, but not everyone who saw her striking clothing seemed to be won over.
Although the On the Floor singer’s metallic Tamara Ralph outfit was eye-catching, not many people on the internet were commenting on it. On the other hand, a lot of people thought that Lopez was reduced to “worst dressed” after the shimmering performance, which showed off both sides of her body and was secured with black velvet bows.
Lopez, who co-wrote the film Unstoppable with Ben Affleck, attended the Toronto Film Festival to see the film’s premiere. Given everything that has been going on lately between him and Lopez, Affleck’s absence from the event was expected. It was said that he had other work commitments.

Although Lopez has never shied away from the spotlight, even she looked noticeable in the disco ball dress. The internet was flooded with comments as soon as she walked the red carpet, 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 previously stated, Lopez filed for divorce a few weeks ago, capping months of rumors that her and Affleck’s union had soured. When the famous couple tied the knot in an unexpected Las Vegas wedding back in 2022, it seemed like a storybook finale for their romance, but it had been clear for some time that something was wrong.
Throughout the year, both parties have been spotted outside of their wedding bands, and there have been rumors that Affleck has moved out of their Beverly Hills marital residence. In the meanwhile, Lopez called off her scheduled North American tour, stating that she needed to spend more time with her family.
