Jennifer Lopez marked her 55th birthday with an epic celebration in The Hamptons. However, photos and videos of the event, guests arriving in royal-esque attire, and fancy decorations, like a beautiful horse carriage, have prompted heavy criticism from people online.
Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez turned 55 on July 24. Celebrating the special occasion ahead of the actual day, the iconic entertainer hosted a luxurious “Bridgerton”-themed party in The Hamptons on July 20. Media of the lavish event and the attire worn by guests, like the gown Lopez’s mother wore, have left a bad taste in the mouths of some online observers.

Eye-catching pictures and videos shared online showed workers setting up the party. Security teams, valets, and waiters could also be seen standing outside of the location where the event took place.
In addition to a horse trailer, trucks were also seen transporting beautiful flowers and furniture to the venue, where they unloaded the cargo ahead of the party. Videos also display guests arriving, one by one, to the fancy affair, dressed like wealthy nobility members.
Among the esteemed guest list was the “Atlas” actress’ mom, Guadalupe Rodríguez, who donned a striking blue gown with white lace detailing. A video shows Rodríguez walking past the security team to enter the venue with another woman she was holding hands with.

Another video depicted Lopez’s mom retrieving gifts from the trunk of a white car with the help of a man who was dressed dapperly for the occasion. Upon seeing the footage of Rodríguez at the party, many took to social media to express disdain for her outfit.

“So tacky!!!” criticized an Instagrammer. Similarly, another echoed, “[Lol] – nothing like a gown and a cross body bag. Jenny’s mom from the hood – tacky.” Someone else chimed in with, “Why all the Target dresses?”
Jumping on the critique bandwagon, an observer noted, “You’re not English you are too old for dressing up!!!!” Amid the vitriol came a fan who defended, “I think there’s no age for happiness. People [should] be able to do [whatever] they want. Regardless if you like them or not.”
However, others drew their attention to another element featured at Lopez’s party that caused further contention. The “On the Floor” artist rented beautiful white horses that pulled a horse carriage that looked as though it came straight out of a fairytale.

More video footage showed the majestic animals lugging the white carriage, which was operated by a worker, down the street. Much like how people criticized Rodríguez’s dress, they expressed their issues with the horse carriage.

“I love her but not anymore this is insane cruelty !!!!!! Those poor horses #dobetter,” chastised a social media user. Another penned, “Why???? So disappointed,” while someone else simply asserted, “Very sad.”
Lopez herself couldn’t even catch a break, as another user also made it known how unimpressed they were by the star’s outfit. The powerhouse performer’s ensemble was just as dazzling as the party itself.

She donned a gorgeous ballroom, corseted, and turquoise gown that was layered and featured beautifully intricate gold detailing all over. Lopez paired her regal look with delicate, see-through white gloves that ended just above her elbows and very high-heeled gold shoes.

Exuding queen energy as the belle of the ball, Lopez, who sat on a gold throne, accessorized her look with a stunning necklace and diamond stud earrings.

She went all out with her hair, too, fashioning it into a beautifully big curled bun. Topping off the look, she placed a brown-colored flower crown/hairband on top of her head.
