"I went to the Met ball exactly one time," Jennifer explained to Vogue in a December episode of its "Beauty Secrets" series. "I found it a little scary so I haven't been back."
Still, the four-time Emmy nominee looks back fondly on the 2007 event. "I wore—that night—this magical red Valentino gown," she added. "And I was his date and that was really majestic and special."
The year that the 52-year-old accompanied Valentino to the event, the evening's theme was "Poiret: King of Fashion," which honored the late designer Paul Poiret—an artist known for modernizing women's style.
And although Jennifer has not returned to the ball, she doesn't shy away from star-studded events entirely. In 2022, the Family Switch actress attended the White House State Dinner, and brought along her daughter, Violet 18.
The mother-daughter duo wore complimenting floor-length black gowns. Jennifer—who also shares children Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex Ben Affleck—opted for a sleeveless velvet dress, while her daughter donned an A-line style with lacquered heart-shaped details.
