Jennifer Lopez Wears a Red-Hot Ruffled Maxi Dress to Reunite With Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Lopez made a fashion statement while supporting her stepdaughter over the weekend.

This past Saturday, Lopez, husband Ben Affleck, and their blended family ventured out to watch a school play featuring Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s younger daughter, 14-year-old Seraphina, in Los Angeles.

For the occasion, Lopez looked incredible in a red-hot collared maxi dress entirely covered in wispy ruffles. The piece, which hails from PatBO’s fall 2023 ready-to-wear collection, additionally included a thigh-high center leg slit, allowing Lopez to show off a pair of glossy cherry-red Mary Jane platform pumps. She coordinated the look with a matching red shoulder bag, plus her signature gold hoop earrings.

Meanwhile, the paparazzi photos (which can be seen here) show that Affleck and Garner opted for more casual outfits.

The Air director wore a monochromatic look consisting of a black jacket and black trousers. Meanwhile, Garner wore a gray T-shirt tucked into a pair of high-waisted, straight-leg jeans. She topped off the ensemble with a black jacket, white sneakers, and a gray bucket bag.

In addition to Seraphina, Affleck and Garner also share 17-year-old daughter Violet and 11-year-old Samuel. Lopez shares her 15-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

During a recent guest appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, Lopez opened up about the particular challenges of raising nearly five teenagers in their blended family with Affleck. “The teenage years are tough. They start challenging you and everything. You have this baby for a while and then it’s like your best little friend who loves being with you all the time, and all of a sudden they’re like, ‘Get out of my room,’” she said.
