While the setting looked comfy and casual, the actress's outfit was anything but as she posed in a stunning colorful maxi dress that featured a cross-over halter neck, open back, and a summer-themed print. Jennifer paired the frock with sky-high platform heels, tan sunglasses, and her signature oversized hoop earrings. She wore her caramel locks in a messy updo with face-framing tendrils.
