Selena Gomez and The Weeknd also made their public debut as a couple at the gala.
Rihanna, Katy Perry and Chrissy Teigen wore bold looks, while Kendall Jenner stunned in a barely there dress.
"It's pretty sexual but, it's cool and I always like something that's a little controversial," the 21-year-old model told Allure.
Lopez and Rodriguez were first linked in March and confirmed their romance the same month. The singer said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last week that she and Rodriguez met over lunch.
"It's very simple. I was having lunch somewhere and he passed by," she told DeGeneres. "I saw him walk by, and then afterwards, I went outside. For some reason, I just felt like tapping him on the shoulder and saying hi."
"I said, 'Hi, Alex!' and he was like, 'Hi, Jennifer!' and that was it. I mean, more stuff happened, but that's how we met," the star added.
