Jennifer Lopez flaunted her chic winter style as she enjoyed a solo outing in Los Angeles on Friday.

The Unstoppable actress, 55 -- who recently thanked her mother for 'being there for me' amid her split from Ben Affleck -- was seen strolling outside as she arrived to a studio.

Back in August, the singer notably filed for divorce from the Oscar winner, 52, on their second wedding anniversary.

Lopez put on a fashionable display wearing a pair of loose-fitting denim pants, as well as a black cropped turtleneck.

She layered the outfit with a fuzzy beige jacket and slipped into a pair of black platform heels.

The star's brunette locks were parted in the middle and pulled up into an up do, allowing wavy strands to border the sides of her face.

Jennifer kept her accessories minimal, and she sported a pair of brown shades while strolling under the bright sunshine.

She completed her look with a large black Hermès Birkin bag.

Also on Friday, her ex Ben Affleck enjoyed an outing of his own as he grabbed lunch with Matt Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso, in Beverly Hills.

The pair were seen entering a building together and later left in the same vehicle with the actor sitting in the driver's seat.

Lopez's latest outing comes shortly after she celebrated her mother Guadalupe 'Lupe' Rodriguez's 79th birthday.

She penned a loving tribute on Instagram on Thursday which read, 'Happy birthday mommy!! I love you so very much!! Thank you for being there for me always...#TheLupinator.'

Jennifer has been keeping busy and recently has been doing press for her new film, Unstoppable, which had a limited theatrical release on December 6.

And later next year on January 16, 2025 -- fans will have the chance to see the sports biopic on Amazon Prime Video.

The film 'centers around the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won a national championship in 2011 while competing at Arizona State University,' per an IMDb synopsis.

Ben is one of the producers of the biopic, along with close pal Matt Damon.

Lopez portrayed one of the leading roles of Judy Robles in the biopic, and she received critical praise for her performance.

However, she was not nominated for a 2025 Golden Globe Award earlier this month, joining other snubbed stars, including Lady Gaga and Meryl Streep.

Despite the snub, the actress was the recipient of the Maverick Award last week while attending the 2024 IndieWire Honors in Los Angeles.

She has also been preparing for the holidays, and was spotted enjoying a shopping trip on Rodeo Drive earlier this week.

Lopez showed off her toned figure in a sheer white lace sweater, as well as a pair of ripped denim jeans.

The singer completed the look by also wearing a pair of tan open-toed platform heels, and she carried a tan handbag.

Earlier this month, the Atlas actress was also seen stopping by Affleck's office in Los Angeles amid their ongoing divorce.

A source recently told People last week that the On The Floor singer is aiming to put the end of her marriage behind her and move forward in 2025.

The insider explained that Lopez is 'focused on her own life' and added, 'She has had a rough year but is doing well. She's ready for Christmas and to start the new year fresh.'

Jennifer -- who is mother to twins Max and Emme, 16 -- has been 'house-hunting for her and the kids' and 'would like to find another home for them.'

Her $68 million Beverly Hills mansion that she had bought with Affleck is still on the market after being listed in July.

And last week, Lopez was seen taking a look at properties in both Beverly Hills and Brentwood -- a tony LA neighborhood Ben has long resided in.

The singer appeared tense as she toured three spacious mansions while on the hunt for a new place for her family.

Jennifer shares her twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, whom she was married to from 2004 until their divorce in 2014.

Following the end of her marriage to Affleck, a source recently told DailyMail.com that Lopez wants to take time for herself before getting into another relationship. 'Jen like most people, would love to have love in her life again.'

'But the one person she has to give the time to right now is herself. If something presents itself, then obviously life and love find a way, but she isn't looking to get into any new relationships.'

'She is focused on her work and wants 2025 to be the year she gets back to being herself,' the source said.

'She isn't actively looking to date right now and is still processing losing Ben again,' they added.

According to the insider, Lopez 'likes being in a relationship almost immediately after one ends, but right now she is trying something new and seeing if that works out for her better.'

Affleck has also been moving following the separation, and has recently been spending time with ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

The former couple were married from 2005 until their split was announced in 2015. Three years later, their divorce was officially finalized in 2018. The pair also share three children: Violet, 18; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12.

Ben recently celebrated Thanksgiving with Garner and their kids while volunteering for Midnight Mission, and later that day the actor enjoyed a tasty meal at her house.

It comes not long after a source informed InTouch that the pair are 'closer than ever' after his split from Lopez.

'They've developed a mutual respect and a deeper level of friendship they didn't have before,' the insider expressed.

'It has some friends asking if they could be on their way to getting back together. They have a history and a deep love for each other.'

The source continued: 'They like spending time together and light up when they see each other. Let's just say that Ben and Jen are in a very good place.'

Amid his ongoing divorce, Affleck also has 'no interest' to step back into the dating scene.
