Jennifer Lopez put her grief to one side to attend the CAA pre-Oscars party in Los Angeles on Friday following the death of her longtime friend and hairstylist Jesus Guerrero.
The 55-year-old singer looked gorgeous for her appearance at The Living Room, wearing a floor-length, metallic gold knitted gown that boasted long sleeves and a high neck.
The figure-hugging dress highlighted Jennifer's famous curves and complemented her blonder locks, which were styled in loose waves cascading down her chest.
Her bronzed complexion showcased her high cheekbones, and she added a glossy lip to her pearly-white smile, accessorizing with a sparkling gold and black box clutch.
Jennifer joined a host of other famous names, including Anna Kendrick, Jane Fonda, and Olivia Wilde, at the party ahead of the 97th Academy Awards ceremony, which will be held on Sunday at Hollywood's Dolby Theater.

Jennifer's appearance at the party comes after she paid an emotional tribute to Jesus following his sudden death at the age of 34 last weekend.
Alongside a black and white image of Jesus, she penned: "It's no surprise your mother gave you the name Jesus. You were gentle and kind and loving, quiet and unassuming, but so powerful, and your presence was felt the minute you walked into any room.
"You never demanded the spotlight. You never needed to make a sound to be recognized, your heart and your talent did that as effortlessly as you artistry did. I’ve been having trouble putting the words together the last few days. The truth is I’m still in shock that such a beautiful young life has come to an end. It seems senseless and unfair.
"I know your family is brokenhearted as am I and everyone else who knew you. Your spirit moved on to the next phase beyond this life but I know wherever you are there is beauty and light. And the beauty and light you left here will live on forever. Rest in peace, sweet angel."
Jesus had been working with the "Jenny From The Block" singer for her performance at Saadiyat Nights in Abu Dhabi just a few days before his death. He died in a US hospital after falling sick with a mystery illness.

"I am very grateful for everything she did [for him]. [And telling him] to go to the doctor and not to work and to get rest," said Gris.
She continued: "We are getting some help, but it is a waiting game for everyone to do what they can to get answers."

"It all happened suddenly, and no one knows why. Everyone on his team did everything they could to get him to the doctors because he was not well. They told him he was not going to work; he should see a doctor and rest. And he wanted to come home."
