The focal point of the ensemble was the pair of high-waisted, cropped pants Lopez sported. Her tailored trousers were form-fitting, with a straight-leg cut that tapered just above her ankles. She paired these pants with black ballet flats.

Reflecting on her growth since the split, Lopez explained, “But now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, ‘That is exactly what I needed. Thank you, god. I’m sorry it took me so long. I’m sorry that you had to do this to me so many times. I should have learned it two or three times ago. I get it. You had to hit me really hard over the head with a sledgehammer. You dropped the house on me. Don’t have to do it again.'”

Expressing a similar sentiment, another netizen chimed in with, “This dress was seriously inappropriate for the type of film that […] was being premiered. This was not it.”
“I admire her fitness and drive but she’s a mom and I don’t think this is appropriate apparel to wear. Personally, I don’t like this outfit. It has no color. Plus, how can anyone walk and move wearing that [?]” asserted a Facebooker.
