Bennifer Forever! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's Relationship Timeline

J. Lo has attended the Met Gala multiple times over the years. Most recently, she walked the pink carpet in May 2019 with then-fiancé Alex Rodriguez, from whom she split in April 2021 after four years together. At the time, the J. Lo Beauty founder embodied the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme by wearing a dazzling Versace gown and matching silver headpiece. Flaunting her perfect figure, Jennifer’s dress had a plunging neckline and high-leg slit. She paired the “campy” look with silver jewels and a stunning necklace complete with a purple gem.

“Camp, I just think it’s over the top, just fantasy. The fantasy of what you would do when nobody was looking. It everybody wasn’t judging, who you would be,” the “Jenny From the Block” songstress said in a video shared to Vogue‘s YouTube channel from the 2019 Met Gala red carpet. “That’s what’s always so fun about tonight is, like, you never know what’s gonna happen. They always keep all of the performances very secret, and I always love going through the exhibition. It’s gonna be so much fun.”
