Jennifer Lopez wows at Met Gala 2021 with Western-inspired look
Lopez initially hit the Met Gala carpet sans beau Ben Affleck
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.

Then, Lopez made a surprise appearance at the VMAs on Sunday night in Brooklyn, where she presented the award for song of the year to Olivia Rodrigo.

She set the scene in a stunning lace-up crop top and a sparkling cutout mini skirt by David Koma.
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.
