Jennifer Lopez has shared a look at her stunning wedding to Ben Affleck that was held in Georgia on Saturday.
On Tuesday morning the 53-year-old singer and actress took to her website OnTheJLo.com to post photos of herself as a bride.
The Marry Me star wore a white veil over her face as she was carefully made up with frosty pink makeup. Her hair was pulled back showing off diamond and pearl earrings. And she had white frilly material up her neck.
Later Lopez posted a full-length look at her main bridal gown – which had a stunning 20 foot train – as well as the two other dresses she wore on her big day.
All three creations were from American designer Ralph Lauren and because they are couture gowns, each one is estimated to cost in the $1million ball park.

Couture wedding gowns can cost anywhere from $55,000 to $5million. But Lauren’s cost more. ‘These dresses start at around $500,000 each because they are hand sewn with the finest materials, and definitely more for the style with crystals and pearl work,’ a stylist told DailyMail.
Lauren does not usually design wedding dresses. In fact the cream-colored sheer gown he made when Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas in India in 2018 was only the fourth wedding dress he has ever made.
The cost of that gown was an estimated $2million because there were pearls down the front, over 11,000 Swarovski crystals, and thousands of sequins as well as plenty of handmade lace.
Lopez’s primary wedding gown – the one with the turtleneck – was likely in the $1million neighborhood as it did not have any pearls sewn into it, or any other gems, but it did have an embellished 20 foot train which was handmade. She also wore a cathedral-length veil.
The plunging cream colored halter gown was likely in the $1 million neighborhood as well because it had Swarovski crystals up the front lining of the keyhole.
A third dress looked equally as decadent with strings of pearls sewn onto the gown with Swarovski crystal detailing. The design was sleeveless and had a mermaid finish. She showed it off while sitting on a swing as she added strappy heels with pearls on top. The couture dress was handmade and likely in the $1 million to $2 million range.
Lopez wore Lauren on her wedding day probably because she has a long-standing friendship with the fellow Bronx native. She chose to represent Lauren when she wore one of his gowns to the Met Gala in 2021.
