Lopez looked stunning in a daring, avant-garde gown. The sheer floor-length dress featured a delicate nude base adorned with dark floral embroidery. Over it, a bold sculptural black frame curved around her shoulders and waist, creating an hourglass silhouette that accentuated her figure.

The singer kept her accessories minimal, wearing diamond drop earrings and a statement ring, letting the dress take center stage. Her hair was styled in a chic updo with soft face-framing tendrils, while her look was tied together with soft glam makeup.

Ahead of the screening, Affleck praised Lopez's work ethic as he addressed the audience. "She worked enormously hard. You get to see like all of her many gifts, she's somebody that grew up watching, you know, classic musicals," Affleck said, adding that she "really does it all in this movie!"

The pair first met in 2002 and got engaged later that year, but called it quits in 2003. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in 2022. Two years later, in 2024, Lopez filed for divorce, which was finalized in January of this year.
