J-Lo debuts new look after dropping Ben Affleck-inspired heartbreak song
The singer, 55, wore a pale sliver dress that exposed one of her shoulders while the other arm was covered by a long sleeve.
Recently the singer took a swipe at her ex-husband Ben Affleck, 52, in a new song.
The singer debuted six new songs at an exclusive listening party for 30 fans in Los Angeles this week - and dropped a hint about her recent personal turmoil.
She filed for divorce from her fourth husband Affleck last August on what would have been their second wedding anniversary.
The collapse of their marriage was the culmination of months of rumors that the couple's relationship was skidding towards implosion.
She appears to have taken a swipe at Ben in her music, in the lyrics to a song called Wreckage Of You that she played at the listening party.
One of the guests, Edgardo Luis Rivera, shared that JLo 'kept thinking of the word "wreck" because it means destruction, but she wasn't destroyed.
'In fact, the lyrics of the song are: "I'm stronger after the wreckage of you,"' via Us Weekly.
'She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself,' he noted.
JLo scrapped her This Is Me... Live tour last summer, saying she 'needed to be with my kids and myself and really dig down deep into things that were happening in my life' - amid the rumors her marriage to Ben was on the rocks.
'Fast-forward to one year later,' said Edgardo, talking about the listening party: 'and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger.'
Another attendee described the musical number as a 'very emotional, empowering song about walking away from a relationship and coming out a stronger person'.
The other five songs she played at the party were all reportedly more peppy, and were called Birthday, Free, Up All Night, Save Me Tonight and Regular.
Edgardo explained that those songs were 'fun, more Jennifer of old in terms of music style,' calling them 'really good songs' with a 'real vibe to them' and dishing that the assembled fans went 'nuts' while listening to Birthday.

Bride mercilessly mocked over ‘diabolical' wedding surprise for husband as they say he must be looking for an annulment
WHEN people share videos of their wedding day, it's often met with praise and swooning over the happy couple. But one bride has been mercilessly mocked after sharing the surprise she had in store for her husband and wedding guests. 2 Alexis Jennings decided to share the surprise on social media, three years after her big day. She wrote over the clip: "That time I performed a dance on my wedding day knowing my religious family would look down on it.'" In the clip, the brunette bride danced to Beyonce 's End of Time while wearing an all-white tracksuit and a black shirt underneath. Her husband, who was mostly out of the shot, could be seen sitting still watching her moves. While she is dancing, children run past the stage and some wedding guests can be seen completely ignoring her. The awkward dance saw her two-step left to right, pretending to march and whipping her hair around. "Debated doing this for so long that by the time I convinced myself to do it, I only had less than two months to learn the choreography," she captioned the post. "DO WHAT YOU WANT ON YOUR WEDDING DAY LADIES. My man loved it. "To further explain, I purposefully wore this covered up outfit and played down the dance moves out of respect for said religious family." But her 'religious family' at the wedding seemingly didn't have much to say about her moves - some members even recorded her and looked excited. I wasn't going to spend thousands on a wedding dress so got an Oh Polly one for £75 - no one would know it wasn't pricey Instead, it was the people in the comments of her TikTok that were quicker to judge the dance. The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @ alexojennings with over 14 million views and people didn't hold back with their opinion. One person wrote: "He's googling annulment facts as soon as this clip ends." "That man deserves the world for not laughing," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Painful to watch. Hope you had fun though." "The best part is that you didn't have to do this at all,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "The fact her friends let her go ahead with this tells me she needs better friends." Despite the nasty comments, the bride stuck to her guns over the controversial dance. "Y'all roasting me is killing me, she commented. "The mean comments are only telling me what I already know - you're not gonna hurt my feelings. It's TIKTOK doing its "thang." It's all love." In fact, she was so unbothered by the hate that she posted a second clip of the dance as a response. In this follow-up video, she continued the solo dance to Beyoncé's Upgrade U. Alexis had similar right-to-left movements, something she chalks up to having to 'improvise' due to forgetting the moves.

Man spends two days looking for his lost waller, but can you see it?
A frustrated social media user spent two full days searching for his missing wallet... only to discover it was right in front of his eyes the entire time. Sharing a bathroom photo where the cash holder went missing on Reddit, the snap quickly went viral as the Internet obsessively tried to spot the camouflaged item. At first glance, the image shows a perfectly ordinary bathroom, with some people calling the photo one of the best optical illusions they've seen in months while others spotted the wallet on the floor in seconds. Reddit users dove into the challenge - with many admitting they had absolutely no clue what they were even supposed to be looking for and had the caption not mentioned a wallet they'd have been stumped. One person said: 'If you didn't say this, I would've never understood this photo,' one person confessed. Another joked: 'As a dude, most of our wallets are just big black squares, so it's immediately where my mind went.' One said: 'I literally didn't register that it was supposed to look like the floor pattern until I got to the comments. I was so confused. Others claimed they'd never have spotted it: 'If I walked in that bathroom, I'd probably never see it,' wrote one. 'You'd probably step on it and find it immediately,' another added. 'Oh so that's where I lost my wallet five years ago…'
