Jennifer Lopez sends strong message after awkward Ben Affleck encounter

Jennifer Lopez just styled herself for autumn following her tumultuous split from Ben Affleck.

The Boy Next Door star was spotted wandering down the LA streets, keeping things elegant and casual.

Lopez sported a pair of slightly edgy black cropped suit trousers with a knitted black blouse, styling with her signature oversized black shades.

The multi-hyphenate star carried a Chanel bag to compliment her Girl-approved black satin dainty ballet flats from Dior.

Her appearance comes shortly after the 55-year-old avoided an awkward run-in with her former husband while they crossed paths in the same area.

Ben was escorted by his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who is the mother of his daughter Violet Affleck.

Apparently the A-list celebrity used her fashion preference to respond to the claims surrounding her tragic split.

As according to H! Fashion Editor Natalie Salmon, the dress screams “I’m chic and I know it.”

Describing the actress' stunning outfit, she said, "Typically the go-to for a polished, dainty vibe, have parted from their skinny jeans days and since been paired with the likes of kick crop flares, and flirty skirts.”

For the unversed, the high-profile estranged couple filed for divorce on August 9, earlier this year.
