Last night, the excitement began as the press tour for Kiss of the Spider Woman launched with a dazzling premiere event in New York City. This upcoming musical thriller, directed by Bill Condon, features Jennifer Lopez, who is already garnering acclaim for her role. In a surprising yet heartwarming moment, her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, joined her on the red carpet to commemorate this significant occasion. (The film is brought to life by Affleck and Matt Damon’s production venture, Artist Equity).
Though the awards season is still on the horizon, Lopez showcased a stunning red carpet ensemble to kick off her promotional journey. Dressed in a remarkable creation from Harris Reed’s spring 2026 collection, her floral-printed gown boasted a sweetheart neckline and a dramatic three-dimensional black peplum that accentuated her silhouette—what a statement! It might be considered a bold choice, but Lopez’s illustrious red carpet history proves she’s more than capable of owning this look. She has never been shy to take risks, as evidenced by her iconic fashion moments, including that unforgettable Versace dress that forever changed the internet.

But let’s return to the notable reunion between Lopez and Affleck, which is already sending ripples through the media. This moment encapsulates a warm relationship between ex-partners, with mutual admiration evident. Before the screening commenced, Lopez expressed gratitude to the audience, stating, “Thank you, Ben—this film wouldn’t have happened without Ben and without Artist Equity.” Given this high-profile reunion and the glamorous fashion from J.Lo that we anticipate, this press tour promises to be memorable… and we’re just getting started.
