    The Toronto International Film Festival marked the premiere of her newest film, Unstoppable, for which her now ex-husband Ben has a producer credit, as per Harper’s Bazaar.

    While the 52-year-old actor didn’t make an appearance, his longtime friend and fellow producer Matt Damon reportedly stepped in for him, even taking pictures with Jennifer on the carpet.

    The On the Floor hitmaker’s evening wear ignited various feedback, as a Facebook user commented: “She’s fit. That dress really doesn’t show her off her [curvy] strength.

    “It’s basically two sequined table runners tied together. It just shows skin and screams, ‘Look at me!’ I think as per her usual she’s going for shock value.”

    A person wrote: “She is beautiful in anything she wears, except this. A table runner is a good description.”

    “Totally a tasteless dress!” someone else penned. “I’ve always loved her and still do but a woman who shows less and leaves more to the imagination shows class!”

    A netizen shared: “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.”

    A separate individual chimed in: “I would understand this dress if she was the star of a 70’s themed movie but this is a supporting role in a sports-themed movie. 

    “This just screams look at me, look at me…I desperately need attention. How about just [supporting] the movie and main actors in a low-key way.

    “Not everything needs to be over the top. At this point, JLo going understated would have more shock value.”

    “Jenny from the Block” has been at the receiving end of various mockery this year. Recently, stand-up comedian George Lopez called out the songstress for posting an endearing mirror selfie.

    “Have you ever seen a dude more miserable in a marriage than Ben Affleck?” George said during an appearance on the Politickin’ podcast.

    In the selfie in question, which was posted on August 31, Jennifer showcased her body in the mirror.

    Nevertheless, George criticized the star, saying: “It’s almost like she’s already moved on.”

    Jennifer and Ben got engaged for the first time in 2002 after the Batman star surprised the dancer with a 6.1-carat pink diamond that reportedly cost $2.5 million.

    However, they separated just two years afterward, citing the overwhelming media attention they were receiving as a reason.

    They tied the knot in 2022, with Jennifer posting a celebratory Instagram post that read: “We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.”

    Their relationship became tense in early 2024, with rumors circulating that a separation was inevitable. The gossip became reality on August 20, when Jennifer finally filed for divorce from the actor in LA County, USA, Superior Court.

    “If my body looked like hers, I’d wear this dress too,” a reader commented

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

    I mean she looks great in it? It's not my taste (looks like a glorified sparkly apron to me) but that's not the point here? ALso: this is hardly a new development? She keeps wearing dresses that look like this. It's her thing.

    Oh lord, the "but she's a mom..." brigade came out in force. Anyone who thinks hat designing and creating a dress that falls like this is easy is delusional.

    Personally I think the fact that she keeps getting married and divorced like a yoyo is far worse for the kids than her DRESS
