A look at Jennifer Lopez’s wardrobe reinvention after clashing with estranged husband Ben Affleck over her skimpy looks – from plunging gowns and shorts to demure dresses and flares

Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to showing off her figure in a range of sexy looks and regularly sets hearts racing both on and off the red carpet.

However, in recent days, the singer has been causing a stir by opting for a more subdued style, as news of her divorce from husband Ben Affleck continues to surface.

Last week an interview surfaced in which Jennifer said that Ben would raise his eyebrows at her racy choice of clothing.

Since then, her wardrobe has undergone a noticeable change, with sheer dresses and shorts replaced by understated dresses with soft flared legs.

MailOnline takes a look at some of Jennifer’s more recent looks, which suggest she’s bidding farewell to her marriage. Her skimpy look is also discussed…

During an interview with Live with Kelly and Mark last year, Jennifer revealed that Ben teased her about her skimpy outfits.

”Sometimes he jokes with me… He’ll say things like, ‘Where’s the rest of that shirt?’ ‘I’m like, ‘Oh, this one doesn’t have anything else.”

J-Lo added, “He doesn’t come to fittings or anything like that. If I’m getting dressed and we’re going to a red carpet or a big event, I’m like, ‘What do you think? This one or this one? Do you like this or do you like this?’ That kind of thing.”

When Jennifer’s interview about her clothing choices broke, the star was photographed swapping her revealing outfits for a £3,000 Dior shirt dress.

The star started her 55th birthday with a relaxing bike ride with her son Max.

For the occasion, the Grammy nominee looked elegant in a $3,400 belted white and aqua Dior midi shirt dress and a pair of studded flats.

The mother of two wore her light brown locks in a sleek ponytail and accessorised with oversized sunglasses, a straw bag and statement earrings.

Just days later, Jennifer opted for a comfortable, oversized cream dress and matching cardigan as she arrived for dinner at a New York hotel, swapping her famous heels for comfy white sneakers.

On August 1, Jennifer continued her understated fashion show by opting for a chic floral midi dress, with her wedding ring noticeably absent.

She opted for maroon heels and a matching bag with cat-eye sunglasses as she attended a preview screening of Cats in New York City.

Three days later, Jennifer wore a pair of casual cream linen flares and a black cardigan as she went for coffee with her daughter Emme.

On August 6, she was photographed house hunting, this time wearing a simple cream-colored shirt and checked pants.

On August 8, Jennifer once again opted for a pared-back look, this time in the form of an oversized denim jacket and matching pants.

Jennifer is said to be “furious and humiliated” by her split from Affleck, ahead of an impending divorce.

The singer has been in the news with her husband, who are being awash in divorce rumours after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that the documents had been ‘finalised but not yet submitted’.

Sources later said Page Six that Ben delayed filing for divorce to “protect” Jennifer after it was revealed the two were no longer speaking.

An insider said: “He’s been humiliating her because she’s made a big deal about him being the love of her life. They’ve only had two weddings in two years. This is kind of a record, they’re not young kids.”

It is believed that Jennifer is even sadder about the divorce because their children are involved.

“There are five children involved,” the source said. “She knew they were going to merge families. She hasn’t fully accepted that it’s over yet.”

Jennifer has identical twins, Max and Emme, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Meanwhile, the Boston-born actor shares Violet (18), Fin (15) and Samuel (12) with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

In recent months, photos have been taken of the once-loving couple, who dated from 2002 to 2004, without wedding rings. Now they appear to be going through with their divorce after a final attempt at reconciliation failed.

As reports mount about the fate of their A-list marriage, it appears the couple has cut all ties with each other.

According to TMZThe Love Don’t Cost A Thing singer and the Gone Girl star have stopped speaking altogether, making it even harder for the two to come to an agreement.

According to the outlet, the Hollywood moguls are only making the split more difficult by keeping their mouths shut: they refuse to speak to each other in person or by phone.

According to TMZ, the celebrities have not yet hired lawyers, but have contacted their respective business managers.

However, they plan to hire a divorce attorney once they reach a settlement.

Last week, a friend of the couple told DailyMail.com that they still plan to divorce.

The news came after Ben spent a whopping $20.5 million on a new bachelor pad in Pacific Palisades on July 24, the day his wife celebrated her birthday.

According to Jennifer’s friends, she was furious about the purchase and felt it “like a stab in the heart.”

Ben’s extravagant purchase came just days after the couple put their Beverly Hills mansion up for sale for $68 million.

And on July 24, the singer also closed on the sale of her four-bedroom penthouse in New York City for $23 million, People reported.

“They finalized the divorce papers a month ago, but are still waiting for the right time to file,” a source close to the duo said.

‘They will then release a joint statement saying that they love each other very much and that they fought to make it work, but it didn’t work out.

“Honestly, they couldn’t come to a compromise in the end. What they had before is gone and they both accepted it,” another source claimed.

Amid reports of their split, Ben has also revealed his shocking new look.

He completed his outfit with skinny jeans, aviator glasses and a black leather jacket. It seemed too small, but he was noticeably not wearing a wedding ring.
