Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first got together in early 2001 on the set of their movie Gigli, and reunited again in 2021 – almost two decades after they first met. Over the years, the pair have rocked some fun, fashionable – and also frankly questionable – outfits as a couple.

Here are some of their most memorable looks …

Jennifer Lopez or Ben Affleck – who has the higher net worth?

They hit red carpets together and showed off their glamorous side

 

One of their first red-carpet events as a couple was the Maid in Manhattan premiere. Lopez showed up in diamond jewellery and a sleeveless cream gown, the latter with a V neckline and a floor-length skirt with ruffled tiers.

Affleck, on the other hand, chose a striped black suit with a blue button-up underneath. He completed his outfit with a satin tie in a similar shade.

The following year, Bennifer attended the 2003 Oscars with an even more elegant look

 

Lopez chose a spearmint-green Valentino gown, which had a single cape sleeve and embroidered beads in the shape of flowers across its two hems. It was inspired by a dress Jackie Kennedy wore in 1967, according to Fashionista.

She completed her look with mint eyeshadow and Harry Winston jewels, while Affleck wore a traditional black tuxedo and tie.

But the pair were also spotted in casual clothes plenty that year …

While taking part in an interview for NBC’s Dateline in July 2003, Lopez and Affleck took a stroll through Vancouver, Canada.

Lopez wore a navy-blue tracksuit with two white stripes down each side for the occasion, as well as white trainers and gold hoop earrings. Affleck mirrored her casual look with a white undershirt, green button-up, tan trousers, and brown shoes.

While Affleck walked the red carpet in a standard suit, tie and button-up shirt, Lopez donned a semi-sheer gown with a plunging neckline and a tall slit.

Donna Karan created Jen’s dress, which was brown, sleeveless and held together with strings of satin. Lopez also wore an her hair in an up-do and accessorised with drop earrings and a gold bangle.

Almost 18 years later, the couple came back with a bang at the Venice Film Festival

 

For one of their first public appearances together in nearly two decades, Affleck wore a dark suit and dress shoes, while Lopez wore a cute pinstripe dress with thick straps and a square neckline.

The Hustlers actress completed her look with diamond stud earrings, a black animal-print handbag and white strappy sandals.

A few hours later, they stole the show with their outfits on the The Last Duel red carpet

Lopez’s couture gown was created by Georges Hobeika. It had a mermaid silhouette with almost-off-the-shoulder straps and a floor-length, scalloped skirt with a thigh-high slit.

The most eye-catching part of the gown, however, was its plunging bedazzled halter neckline. Affleck wore a black tuxedo, and black bow tie to complement Lopez’s look.

At the Met Gala three days later, Lopez rocked a Western style while Affleck remained in classic menswear

 

Ralph Lauren designed Lopez’s brown dress, which was sleeveless with a deep-V neckline, thigh-high slit and long skirt train. She also wore a brown leather belt across her hips, a matching choker necklace, fur shawl, silver sandals and a cowboy hat to complete the look.

Then in September, the couple brought back their famous street style for photographers

Affleck kept things casual in a dark undershirt, matching button-up, blue jacket, jeans and dress shoes.

Lopez, on the other hand, wore ripped, patchwork jeans, sparkling sandals and a bedazzled T-shirt with side slits and an old black and white photo of herself printed across it.

Lopez wore almost all green that day, including a plaid coat, belted jumpsuit and matching scarf. She also accessorised with metallic platform heels, gold jewellery and yellow-hued sunglasses.

Affleck’s look was a bit more laid-back, however. He wore a grey coat, navy shirt, dark jeans and leather shoes.
