The brunette beauty had on a pink and white top with white shorts and flip flops.
And the This Is Me… Now star added Barbie pink sunglasses from Gucci and large silver hoop earrings as she looked very stylish.
Her wedding rings from estranged husband Ben Affleck were in place.

Ben has three children, Violet, 18, Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. JLo, on the other hand, shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Meanwhile, Ben was seen in his office parking lot in Los Angeles on Monday.
The Argo writer and actor was dressed up in a dark suit with a crisp white shirt with no tie as he looked ready for a board meeting.
The ex of Gwyneth Paltrow held onto an iced coffee as he carried a black duffle bag.
This comes after DailyMail.com has learned that the combined five children have been working behind the scenes to get Jennifer and Ben ‘back together,’ said a source.
‘The kids think Jennifer and Ben are really, deeply in love, like soul mates and they don’t want them to divorce,’ said the insider.
‘They want them to work it out for better or for worse, like their vows said. And they do feel that the two should continue counseling and talking it out, even if it is painful.
‘They feel like if they do and say the right things that there could be more peace.’
The kids want Ben and Jennifer to get back together before her 55th birthday, which falls on July 24, added the insider.
‘There is hope they could all celebrate together for a mellow family party in Los Angeles,’ added the source.
So what are they doing exactly to help the movie stars to get back to peace? ‘They highlight the positive attributes each have.’

And the insider said there is a general feeling like Ben could lighten up.
‘He is a prickly one, he can be grumpy, that is true for sure, he is not a happy go lucky kind of dude, even if he is very intelligent and funny. The kids are trying to get him to lighten up and let stuff go,’ added the insider.
Turns out Lopez has her flaws too: ‘She needs to work less and relax more.
‘The twins’ dad Marc Anthony has always said that: Jenny needs to relax and enjoy her life more, he told her for years and years to do this.
‘Now Max and Emme are doing the same,’ the source added.
The kids have another motive: they all like each other and want to stay family.
‘The kids get along great, especially Emme and Fin, they are best friends and talk every day,’ said the insider.

‘They tell Ben and Jenny, hey don’t give up, don’t lose this.’
The family has not been all together in one room since June when Samuel graduated from school.
The source added that there was supposed to be a divorce announcement on the 4th of July weekend but it never came. And that is why they are both still wearing their wedding rings.
‘There might be a delay or plans to split for good may be called off, no one is really sure now, not even her close friends really know,’ said a pal.
‘Everyone has been waiting for the bombshell news they have lawyered up and are ready to split but it has not come,’ said the source.
As far as how Ben’s ex-wife Garner feels, she is up for whatever is best for the kids.
‘She is a supermom and always put the kids first so if the kids want Ben and Jennifer to get back together, she is on board with that,’ said another source.
Ben and Jennifer seem to be split up as they have not been pictured together in over a month but neither one has released a statement; seen in February

Meanwhile, Us Weekly claimed on Wednesday that there is a ‘sliver of hope’ that Ben and Jennifer could get back together.
‘Jennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out,’ the source said.
It was also added that Bennifer 2.0 ‘still haven’t made a decision’ regarding splitting.
‘They are going through so much individually and as a couple,’ another source told Us. ‘They may take some time to see if this complicated moment can resolve itself and they come back to each other [as] better people.’
This comes after news the Batman actor, 51, and the Maid in Manhattan star, 54, decided to put the Beverly Hills mansion on the public market for $68M ‘very recently’ and are hoping for a buyer asap, a source told UsWeekly on Saturday.
‘They thought they could sell it off-market but made a game-time decision in order to put more eyes on the property,’ the insider explained.
‘They are in a rush to sell it. Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there.’
The source said the couple ‘never felt settled’ in the massive 38,000 square foot property, which features 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
