Jennifer Lopez made her first public appearance on Sept. 6, since filing to divorce Ben Affleck last month.
The actress and singer was at the Toronto International Film Festival, where her new movie Unstoppable made its world premiere.
The “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” songstress wore a revealing, mirrored Tamara Ralph dress on the red carpet.

Amazon MGM Studios hosted the “Gala Presentation Screening,” where guests included not only Lopez, but executive producer Matt Damon, Affleck’s longtime friend, and the real-life woman that Lopez portrays, Judy Robles.
Directed by William Goldenberg, Unstoppable follows the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome), who was born with one leg. He fights through adversity to become part of the Arizona State Wrestling Team.
With the support of his mother Judy (Lopez) and his coaches, Anthony is closer than ever to achieving his quest to become an NCAA Champion.
Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Mykelti Williamson, and Don Cheadle also star in the biopic.
Lopez discussed her role as Judy with reporters, and how she feels a connection to Robles.
“We were just almost the same person in a weird way, even though we were so different and we had such different lives,” Lopez told USA Today. “At the core and the heart of who we were, at first we were moms and beyond that, we had had similar struggles.”
The actress and singer filed for divorce on Aug. 20, after two years of marriage to Affleck. Her estranged husband, like Damon, was one of the executive producers of Unstoppable. Though, unlike Damon, Affleck did not attend Friday’s premiere.
