Jennifer Lopez channels Queen Charlotte in Victorian-style gown for ‘Bridgerton’-themed birthday party
Lady Whistledown wasn’t ready for this.
Jennifer Lopez channeled Queen Charlotte in an opulent bespoke gold Victorian-style gown for her “Bridgerton”-themed 55th birthday party in the Hamptons on Saturday.
The “On The Floor” singer wore a custom couture corseted gown with a hoop skirt and vintage brocade that was “crafted by 40 artisans over 3,490 hours,” fashion designer Manish Malhotra shared in an Instagram post on Thursday.
“The corset and Victorian skirt features a floral motif [molded] by hand from sequins and over half a million crystals,” the designer — who recently created looks for billionaire heir Anant Ambani’s wedding earlier this month — shared along with photos of the stunning garment.
He added, “Petal and ring-shaped metal sequins were especially treated to preserve their hue to craft this ensemble, a celebration of intricate artistry and Indian craftsmanship.”
Malhotra called it “an honor” to dress the “iconic” pop star for her milestone birthday celebration.
The “Marry Me” actress completed her baroque-inspired ensemble with towering gold platform heels and wore her hair in an intricate updo topped with a tiara.
Lopez kept her jewelry relatively simple with a gold heart pendant on a chain necklace, enormous diamond stud earrings and pearl bracelets partly concealed beneath her sheer white gloves.
Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn styled Lopez while hairstylist Jesus Guerrero and makeup artist Scott Barnes handled her glam.
The grand outfit mirrored the looks of “Bridgerton” character Queen Charlotte, who is played by Golda Rosheuvel.
She later changed into another intricate outfit — this time opting for a green off-the-shoulder gown with a long train.
Lopez shared a video from her birthday ball on her Instagram on Wednesday.
“Dearest Gentle Reader…” she quoted the Netflix show in the caption of her post, adding, “And a splendid evening was had by all.”
Lopez was seated on a throne during the fête and treated her guests to a song performance.
She was also presented with a five-tier birthday cake and watched a string quartet play as performers put on an authentic Victorian-style dance.
“💎 diamond of the season 💎,” the official Netflix account commented on her post.
The Grammy-nominated artist’s mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, also dressed on-theme for the event in a light-blue lace ballgown.
Lopez took to Instagram on her actual birthday Wednesday to thank all of her fans for showing her some birthday love.
“I’ve been seeing all of your birthday wishes, beautiful videos, and posts all last night and this morning from all over the world,” she wrote in the post. “I have laughed, smiled, shed some tears, and when I saw the billboard in Times Square, I was completely overwhelmed. I really do have the best, most amazing fans in the world.”
Lopez said she can always count on her supporters “in the good times and in the tough times.”
“Thank you for your caring, your understanding, your loyalty and most importantly your love. 🤍,” she wrote.
Notably absent from her birthday festivities was her husband, Ben Affleck, amid rumors that they have been separated since March and are heading for divorce.
