Jennifer Lopez was the diamond of the season at her birthday party.
The 'I Ain't Your Mama' singer celebrated her 55th birthday this week and hosted a 'Bridgerton'-themed party in the Hamptons.
"A splendid evening was had by all," Jennifer captioned a video she shared on Wednesday.
In true Regency style, there was a horse-drawn carriage, 19th-century costumes, and ballroom dances.
"Can someone get @shondarhimes on the phone? We need JLo on the next season!!!" one of J. LO's followers commented.

The singer's husband, Ben Affleck, was noticeably absent from the grand birthday party. Rumours have been swirling that the couple is on the verge of divorcing.
However, they have not confirmed or denied the rumours.
JLO's party was held on the weekend before her birthday on July 24; however, several reports claim that Ben was miles away in Los Angeles during the celebration.
Despite the actor's reported no-show, Jennifer had the time of her life at her party and is grateful to be celebrating another year of life.
"I’ve been seeing all of your birthday wishes, beautiful videos, and posts all last night and this morning from all over the world. 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. I could never express how moved I am or how incredibly blessed I feel to have all of you be a part of my life. Thank you sooooo very much," she wrote on Instagram.
