Jennifer Lopez<\/a>\u00a0looked every bit the showgirl as she arrived at the Vanity Fair and Amazon MGK Studios pre-Golden Globes bash in Los Angeles<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old singer hit the red carpet at Bar Marmont in a jaw-dropping red beaded gown with a see-through skirt that showed off her killer figure.<\/p>\n

The strapless number had a corset bodice that cinched in Lopez’s already tiny waistline.<\/p>\n

The actress bundled up in a cropped red fur jacket and carried her essentials in an elegant velvet clutch.<\/p>\n

Lopez’s caramel-toned tresses were worn in voluminous curls and she rocked a moody burgundy lip.<\/p>\n

For added glamour, the mother-of-two wore a sparkling choker around her neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old singer hit the red carpet at Bar Marmont in a jaw-dropping red beaded gown with a see-through skirt that showed off her killer figure<\/p>\n

Lopez’s appearance at the event comes just hours after she poked fun at the couple nickname she had with ex\u00a0Ben Affleck<\/a> which initially sparked up during their romance in the early 2000s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She humorously referenced to the ‘Bennifer’ moniker that was a mix of both of their first names when they had dated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The On The Floor hitmaker – whose divorce from Affleck was finalized one year earlier – appeared in a promo clip ahead of the 2026 Golden Globe<\/a>\u00a0Awards with the ceremony’s host Nikki Glaser.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lopez – who is one of the presenters for the event taking place on Sunday – could be seen strolling into a decorated room during rehearsals. She mouthed words to a voiceover that said, ‘Who are you?’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Glaser could be seen on the stage and asked, ‘I’m Pam. Who are you?’ The voiceover continued as the songstress said, ‘I’m the owner of this house.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The comedian then penned in the caption: ‘Tomorrow I host the Globes. Jennifer Lopez presents. Finally, we debut our duo: Nennifer’ – a slight change to Bennifer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actress also joined in on the fun and shared a post to her Instagram stories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the image, Lopez could be seen flashing a cheerful smile as she shared a laugh with Glaser who stood in the background.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maddie Ziegler looked incredible in sheer black dress with sexy cutouts on the sides and stomach<\/p>\n

She then added a poll for her fans to take as she further jokingly referenced to the Bennifer nickname.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lopez opted for her followers to decide which moniker would be better: Nennifer or Jennikki.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bennifer first became a nickname trend for Lopez and Affleck when they sparked up a relationship in 2002.<\/a> The pair soon became engaged – but split two years later in 2004.<\/p>\n

The stars had taken on roles in the 2004 movie Jersey Girl – and their director Kevin Smith reportedly had been the one to come up with the moniker.<\/p>\n

Back in 2021, he opened up about the origin of the nickname in a tweet posted to X at the time when Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance that same year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The filmmaker wrote: ”Bennifer’ is trending. It’s a name I first gave the kids during ‘Jersey Girl’ pre-production, before the world found out they were dating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bennifer first became a nickname trend for Lopez and Affleck when they sparked up a relationship in 2002. The pair soon became engaged – but split two years later in 2004; the former couple seen in 2004 in L.A.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I’d later drop the name in an interview with the @ntimes.\u00a0Shortly thereafter, it appeared in the article and then entered the vernacular.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year in September, Lopez sparked confusion among fans when she appeared to don a necklace that had ‘Bennifer’ on the front.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

However, it was later revealed to simply be the spelling of her first name.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the singer rekindled her romance with Affleck in 2021, the former couple tied the knot in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But on their second wedding anniversary in August 2024, the actress notably filed for divorce – which was later finalized in January 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the separation, both stars seemingly have remained on good terms – and have taken part in a number of recent reunions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Late last month in December, Lopez and Affleck had a surprise reunion as they enjoyed a bit of shopping during the holiday season with his son Samuel, 13.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Oscar winner shares Samuel as well as Violet, 19, and Fin 16, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the separation, both stars seemingly have remained on good terms – and have taken part in a number of recent reunions; seen in October 2025 in NYC\u00a0<\/p>\n

And a few months earlier in October,\u00a0Lopez and Affleck flashed cheerful smiles as they attended the premiere of their movie Kiss Of The Spider Woman in NYC.<\/p>\n

A source told People<\/a> at the time that there is ‘no romantic union’ but stated that the pair are ‘in a really good place.’<\/p>\n

The insider added, ‘They continue to support each other. They’re both proud of what they accomplished together.’<\/p>\n

And while having a conversation with Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, the Gone Girl actor also offered insight into her relationship with his children post-divorce.<\/p>\n

‘For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular. Great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them.’<\/p>\n

He continued, ‘I love her kids. They’re wonderful. She’s [an] enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.’<\/p>\n

Garner recently commented that she refuses to ‘gossip’ about Affleck’s split from Lopez.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It doesn’t serve me to take in gossip about myself or anyone else, much less my kids, so I don’t do it,’ the actress told Marie Claire UK<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lopez’s latest Instagram activity in preparation for her role as a presenter at the 2026 Golden Globes comes after she was snubbed for a nomination at the awards ceremony.\u00a0<\/p>\n
