In a recent interview with Variety, Jennifer Lopez set the record straight about her Las Vegas wedding dress and cleared up some misconceptions about her famous movie lines. The 54-year-old star, known for her roles in films like 'Marry Me' and 'Shotgun Wedding,' revealed the true story behind her wedding dress choice during her impromptu wedding to Ben Affleck.
Last July, Jennifer Lopez mentioned in her newsletter, 'On the JLo,' that she and Affleck tied the knot in July 2023, wearing 'a dress from an old movie.' However, she never divulged the details until now. When asked if she wore the wedding dress from the movie 'Jersey Girl' during her nuptials, she chuckled and clarified that it wasn't true. 'I wish it was. I wish I did have that dress. I don't have that dress,' she admitted.
The dress she wore on her wedding day was different from the one in 'Jersey Girl.' Jennifer explained that she had accumulated several wedding dresses while doing press for her movies, such as 'Marry Me' and 'Shotgun Wedding.' So, when she and Affleck spontaneously decided to get married, she found a suitable gown from her collection.
Contrary to her initial statement, Jennifer Lopez emphasized that the dress was not from a movie. She explained, 'I never wore it in a movie. I had it because I was doing like, photo shoots and performances of 'Marry Me' everywhere.' It seems she had been holding onto the dress for quite some time, as she mentioned it in her newsletter and expressed her intention to wear it on her wedding day.
In addition to the Alexander McQueen dress, which she previously mentioned in her newsletter and retailed for $5,175, Lopez also wore a stunning long-sleeved lace Zuhair Murad gown for their surprise Vegas wedding. The ceremony took place three months after she accepted Affleck's second proposal and received an 8.5-carat green diamond ring.
Jennifer Lopez has always had a fondness for wedding dresses, wearing numerous gowns both on and off the screen throughout her career. In the bridal-themed video for her song 'Can't Get Enough,' she showcased various wedding gowns, including a daring white dress with heart cutouts. Regardless of the origin of her Vegas wedding gown, there's no denying that Lopez looked absolutely stunning on her special day.
With her latest revelation, Jennifer Lopez sets the record straight and shares the true story behind her wedding dress choice. It's always fascinating to uncover the behind-the-scenes details of beloved celebrities' lives, and this glimpse into J.Lo's wedding attire adds another layer of intrigue to her already captivating story.
