Jennifer Lopez has given fans a glimpse of her lavish Bridgerton-themed party.

The US singer hosted a 55th birthday bash in the Hamptons that included ballroom dancers, a live orchestra and a surprise performance, per a clip posted on her Instagram.

“Dearest Gentle Reader … And a splendid evening was had by all,” she captioned the video.

Lopez took it back to the 1800s for the milestone as she got dolled up in a blue, off-the-shoulder ballgown, mesh gloves and gold platform heels.

The superstar let the dress take centre stage by pinning her hair up with a crown-like headpiece.

The Hustlers actress pulled out all the stops for the event with a horse-drawn carriage placed outside.

The backyard was also elegantly decorated with rectangular tables featuring flowers, candles and goblets. Chandeliers and string lights lit up the lawn from above.

Live music filled the air as Lopez hired a string orchestra with musicians dressed in Regency-era attire.

The soirée was nothing short of a royal affair as Lopez was seen sitting on a golden throne like Queen Charlotte’s in the Netflix series.

At one point, dancers performed choreography similar to the show’s ballroom scenes.

Before blowing out the candles on her four-tier cake, Lopez changed into an off-the-shoulder green dress.

She also gave partygoers a surprise performance, though it’s unclear what she sang.

The star’s guests also followed the theme by dressing up in Bridgerton-inspired gowns and suits.

Several of the pop star’s closest friends and family members were spotted arriving at her party on Saturday.

Lopez’s mom, Guadalupe Rodríguez, was photographed wearing a blue babydoll gown as she made her way inside.

The Wedding Planner actress’ husband, Ben Affleck, was not in attendance as rumours continue to swirl about possible marital issues.

Lopez — whose birthday was on July 24 — continued the festivities into Sunday as she was seen enjoying lunch at Arthur & Sons in the Hamptons with her manager, Benny Medina, her son, Max, and sister Lynda.

A source exclusively told Page Six that the star was visibly emotional while telling stories at the table.

For her actual birthday on Wednesday, Lopez took a solo bike ride while donning a blue summer dress.

The singer has spent the past month in New York while Affleck, 51, has stayed in Los Angeles for work.

The couple, who tied the knot in July 2022, also spent their second wedding anniversary apart.

Despite the distance, the two have continued to wear their wedding bands.
