Earlier today i was driving on a 45 mph lane and had to come to a stop because of a red light. As soon as i stopped my car just turned off!!! I have no idea why? My car is pretty much perfect nothing wrong with it? If you guys know whats going on please tell me thanks!??

could be transmission fluid. automatic right?
because if u dont have transmissino fluid its like braking in a manuel without stepping on the cluth and it kills the engine.
(correct if wrong)

an auto tranny with low/no fluid wont even move. DId the car start again, or was it pushed off to the side?

sounds like it's electrical to me, as you said "it turned off" if it had stumbled, studdered, or begged for life before dying, i'd be going w/ fuel. But sounds like your ignition just said "nope, don't wanna run anymore." did she restart for you, and has this happened before? i'd start w/ diagnosisnig the electrical system of the car, coil, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, along w/ the bat/alt.
