Ethermac|Jennifer Lopez Shares Glimpse Inside Lavish Bridgerton-Themed Party for 55th Birthday

There's a new diamond in the ton—the Hamptons,Ethermac that is.

After all, Jennifer Lopez recently went all out to celebrate her 55th birthday, throwing an extravagant Bridgerton-themed party at the New York vacation hotspot while her husband Ben Affleck remained on the West Coast.

And the "Waiting for Tonight" singer gave gentle readers an inside look at the lavish bash on July 24, writing on Instagram alongside a video montage from the night, "And a splendid evening was had by all."

Indeed, it was a blowout bash that would even make Queen Charlotte's jaw drop on the floor. Not only did it include Bridgerton staples such as a string quartet and a Regency era dance floor, but J.Lo held court in her very own gilded throne.

The Wedding Planner actress was also dressed for the occasion, donning an embroidered ball gown completed with a corset. Before blowing out the candles on her four-tiered birthday cake, she did wardrobe change into a mint green dress featuring a floral and gem-studded neckline.

As seen in videos posted to Instagram Stories, Jennifer ended her night with a musical performance for friends and family, including her mom Guadalupe Rodríguez.

"Life. Love. Laughter and a Joyful Dance. Always a Joyful Dance," her Hustlers producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas captioned a video showing guests cheering on Jennifer. "2024. HERSTORY… We love you @jlo."

The lavish party took place days after Jennifer and Ben's second wedding anniversary. The couple—who did not publicly acknowledge the milestone—spent the day on opposite coasts, with J.Lo seen biking around the Hamptons while the Justice League actor grabbed coffee in Los Angeles.

However, Ben has been outspoken about his desires to keep their relationship out of the spotlight after a  "massive amount of scrutiny" from the public led to their 2003 breakup.

"Getting back together, I said, 'Listen, one of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media,'" the Oscar winner—who rekindled his romance with Jennifer in 2021—recounted in his wife's The Greatest Love Story Never Told documentary. "And then I sort of realized it's not a fair thing to ask. It's sort of like you're gonna marry a boat captain and you go, 'Well, I don't like the water.'"

Ben added, "We're just two people with different approaches trying to learn to compromise."
