What a weekend it was!
One of the most influential women in the entertainment industry, Jennifer Lopez, took the spotlight to celebrate her 55th birthday in style.
While many across the nation were busy with their own plans, JLo threw a lavish party in the Hamptons, proving once again that she knows how to make a statement.
The festivities kicked off on Saturday, showcasing Lopez’s flair for the dramatic and sentimental.
Her mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, and a host of other guests arrived decked out in stunning Regency-era attire, adding an enchanting touch to the celebration.
As if that wasn’t enough, the arrival of a horse-drawn carriage transported everyone back in time, making it a birthday bash to remember.
As the day unfolded, fans eagerly anticipated more details about the event.
Would JLo share the highlights in her newsletter?
Would we get a glimpse of the dance moves inspired by the era?
For now, all we have are some tantalizing paparazzi shots and a cheerful Instagram post from Lopez, who declared, “Today will be an extraordinary day.”
The following day, Lopez opted for a quieter gathering at Arthur and Sons in Bridgehampton.
Accompanied by her twins, Max and Emma, her sister Linda, and her long-time manager Benny Medina, the mood was intimate yet festive.
According to reports from Page Six, the pop icon became emotional as she reflected on her journey through life.
As for the menu, it sounded like a feast fit for a queen.
The group indulged in a variety of classic dishes, including fried calamari, meatballs with ricotta, and chicken parmesan.
They also savored spicy rigatoni a la vodka and grilled salmon piccata over spinach.
And of course, no celebration is complete without dessert—mini cannoli, limoncello cheesecake, and spumoni were on the table, ensuring that sweet tooth cravings were fully satisfied.
It appears that someone at Arthur and Sons struck a deal with Page Six, providing an extensive overview of the meal in exchange for a little gossip.
It’s a clever way to keep the restaurant in the limelight while also feeding the public’s insatiable appetite for celebrity news.
However, amidst all the glitz and glamour, one question lingered: where was Ben Affleck?
The actor was notably absent from the birthday festivities, reportedly still in Los Angeles.
