The star — who filed for divorce at the end of August — shielded her eyes with a pair of oversized sunglasses, and accessorized with gold hoops.
Meanwhile Ben, who was spotted leaving the office building in his car, sported a grey jacket over a pink shirt.
He had a smattering of stubble on his face.
Lopez and Affleck have not been publicly seen together since she filed for divorce last month.
The superstar also shared a clip to her Instagram page in the same outfit, as she promoted her Delola Cocktail brand.
In the clip she was pictured pouring herself a glass of Delola Light Margarita.
The video was set to a viral sound of a mom asking her toddler daughter: ‘So, Scarlett, what are you gonna get at Tachos for your birthday?’ to which the little girl replied ‘a Margarita’, much to the amusement of her mom.
At the end of the video, Lopez was seen taking a sip and smiling. She captioned the post with emojis of a melon, a winking face, and a green heart.
The star is seemingly getting ready to move on with her life as she was spotted this week touring two stunning properties in Beverly Hills.

She and Ben are still trying to offload their $68 million marital home in Beverly Hills, despite putting the mega-mansion on the market over a month ago.
Meanwhile Ben is now ‘slowly moving into his new home,’ which is ‘where he wants to be: close to his kids and in a neighborhood that he loves,’ a source recently informed People.
He closed escrow on his $20.5M five-bedroom, six-bathroom Brentwood mansion on July 24, which was also Jennifer’s birthday.
The Argo director amicably co-parents his three children – Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 – with his first wife Jennifer Garner.
Lopez is mom to 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Lopez and Affleck spent months trailed by feverish speculation that their marriage was on the verge of collapse, culminating in Jennifer finally filing for divorce on their second wedding anniversary, August 20.
As the Hollywood couple divide up their assets with the help of celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser, a source told People that their ongoing divorce ‘has the potential to get ugly’ since they did not sign a prenuptial agreement.
The source noted that ‘there are some sticking points over financials’ between the couple, who eloped at The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas.

In her divorce filing, Lopez, who listed their separation date as April 26, 2024, wrote that their assets were ‘unknown.’
According to California state law, only the income and assets they earned during their short-lived marriage are ‘considered community property and subject to division.’
This includes the Beverly Hills mansion they purchased for $60.8 million last year and a number of the projects and endorsements they’ve done since tying the knot.
They are currently in mediation which is a less formal, faster alternative to a traditional divorce.
Amid the divorce, Jennifer also seems to be doing well as a source claimed ‘she still feels very fortunate’ despite ‘some bitterness’ surrounding the split.
‘She tried so hard to make things work and it didn’t matter to Ben. She’s surrounded by family, friends and her kids,’ the insider told People.
Jennifer and Ben legally separated April 26, with the actress then filing for divorce in LA County Superior Court on August 20, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.
On the heels of the filing, Ben was speculated to be dating RFK Jr.’s daughter, Kick Kennedy, after they were spotted out together in Los Angeles on various outings.
On Wednesday, sources claimed Jennifer was ‘very upset’ with Ben amid rumors that he has been ‘hanging out’ with Kick in recent weeks.
