Divorce blues? What's that? Jennifer Lopez proved once again that she is an icon when it comes to red-carpet dressing. The 55-year-old superstar - who is making headlines for both her 'Unstoppable' promotional looks and her ongoing divorce with ex Ben Affleck - dazzled in a sheer silver figure-hugging gown. The futuristic creation was a thing of beauty as the gown featured intricate embroidery in beads and sequins. The halter-neck gown further featured cascading embellishments that did away with the necessity of a necklace. The strategic placement of the black cape attached to the back of the dress only accentuated Lopez's toned figure. The 'Hustlers' star completed her glamorous look with a natural makeup look, smoky eyes and nude glossy lips. She left her hair open with a parting in the middle. 

2. Angelina Jolie
