Jennifer Lopez’sBridgerton dress: 3,400 hours, 40 hands, 500K crystals

Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday with a lavish Bridgerton-themed party in the Hamptons, captivating everyone with a custom gown designed by Manish Malhotra. The off-shoulder gown, featuring a voluminous skirt adorned with vintage brocade, was a masterpiece of Indian craftsmanship.

Malhotra shared the gown’s elaborate design process on Instagram, revealing that over 40 skilled artisans took 3,490 hours to hand-stitch the dress. The gown was adorned with floral motifs crafted from sequins and over half a million crystals, adding shimmering elegance. While inspired by the Regency Era, the gown incorporated modern elements, including a daring middle slit, blending historical and contemporary styles.

JLo completed her look with elegant jewelry, including a dainty pendant and studs. Meshed gloves added drama, and a sophisticated bun with elaborate headgear kept her hair perfectly coiffed. Shiny chunky heels provided the final touch of glamour.

The Bridgerton-themed party held days before her birthday, transported guests to the world of the Ton with its vibrant colors and rich decor. JLo shared a video online showcasing the festive atmosphere filled with music, dancing, and merriment. However, reports suggest her estranged husband, Ben Affleck, was not present, adding a touch of mystery.

Earlier, JLo expressed heartfelt gratitude to her fans on Instagram for their unwavering support throughout her career, acknowledging their loyalty and love during both good and tough times.

Currently, JLo is focusing on self-care, prioritizing rest, spending time with loved ones, and potentially prioritizing her well-being. This comes after her documentary, “This is Me… Now,” did not achieve the anticipated response, marking a period of reflection and rejuvenation after a whirlwind year of professional and personal events.
