Jennifer Lopez wows at Met Gala 2021 with Western-inspired look – Fox News

Jennifer Lopez turned many heads Monday night when she hit the Met Gala red carpet for its “American Independence” theme.

The actress and singer, who was initially photographed sans Ben Affleck, wore a Ralph Lauren ensemble featuring a plunging dress, faux fur, a choker chain and a cowgirl hat.

Affleck appeared to let his girlfriend hit the carpet solo for the camera as the pair were photographed smooching through their masks outside the party.

The 52-year-old has been defying the laws of aging and did so again last weekend when she and Affleck made their red carpet debut as Bennifer 2.0 at the Venice Film Festival.

Over the weekend, Affleck had to physically hold back a manic fan who desperately wanted to snap a selfie with the “Hustlers” actress at the Venice Film Festival. 

Pictures of the confrontation showed a bristly-bearded man – who was maskless – approaching the couple with a camera as they were walking.
