Jennifer Lopez stole the spotlight at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) red carpet, turning heads in a dazzling floor-length silver gown while promoting her latest film, Unstoppable.
The Love Don’t Cost a Thing star, who recently filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, wowed onlookers on at the TIFF with her bold dress. It featured large black bows at the shoulders, midsection, waist, and knees, revealed much of her toned figure as she confidently posed and smiled for the cameras.
The outfit sparked comparisons to the daring styles of Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, who has made headlines this year for her barely-there looks in public, Parade reported.
