Jennifer Lopez was the belle of the ball at the ELLE’s Women in Hollywood celebration at Nya Studios in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The 54-year-old former Fly Girl was bombarded by other celebrities like America Ferrera and Eva Longoria who wanted to chat with the singer, actress and designer.
One fan was Bebe Rexha, who managed to get a selfie with the icon.
The Say My Name singer was seen leaning in as she used a special light on her cell phone for added exposure. Funny enough, they were photo bombed by Jodie Foster’s wife, Alexandra Hedison, who was in front of the Silence Of The Lambs star. And behind Lopez was her longtime manager Benny Medina.
Soon after, Bebe posted the results of the selfie on her Insta Stories. But they both seem to have benefitted greatly from a filter which made them look flawless.

Here you can compare and contrast. On the left is the real photo, and on the right is what Bebe posted. It appears she used a smoothing-out filter
Jennifer smiled when next to Bebe like they were old pals.
This comes after Bebe said she tried out for a role in Jennifer’s movie Hustlers but didn’t get it.
‘They hit me up and I was like, “Okay, yeah, sure,”‘ she said. ‘So I got an acting coach. She’s awesome and she was teaching me how to act and stuff. It was really hard though because you have to be serious.’
Rexha auditioned for the part of a ‘Russian girl from New York’ but she did not land the role.
It was fine with her as her mom did not approve of her playing a stripper anyhow: ‘My mom was not happy about it,’ she shared during a Beats 1 interview in 2019.
Most of the night Lopez was with her husband, Academy Award-winner Ben Affleck, 51, shared a passionate kiss after he whispered in her ear. The couple tied the knot in July 2022 after rekindling their romance in May 2020 after 17 years apart.
Jennifer sizzled in a revealing Grace Ling dress with a futuristic chrome breastplate that showed plenty of underboob. It was attached to a black maxi skirt that put her chiseled abs front and center.
While on the red carpet, Jennifer told Access Hollywood that her dress made her feel ‘bulletproof’ and ‘powerful.’
The On The Floor hitmaker stood on tall platform heels and rocked sparkly chandelier earrings shaped like lizards. The Maid In Manhattan star carried a simple black clutch and sported a pointy manicure with blush-toned polish.

And behind Lopez was her longtime manager Benny Medina who wore a plaid jacket
She had just a touch of peach blush on the cheeks and radiant highlighting powder on the high points of her face.
The A-lister wore her honey-toned tresses in a sleek bun.
Jennifer could hardly keep her hands off her husband, who looked dapper in a stylish black velvet suit.
The Argo star wore a classic white button-up shirt and a skinny black tie to complete his red carpet look.
The couple joined the likes of Kate Beckinsale and Alexandra Daddario at the annual event that celebrates women in entertainment.

Jennifer was one of the night’s honorees as well as the magazine’s December cover star.
Eva Longoria, Jodie Foster, Taraji P. Henson, America Ferrera, Danielle Brooks, Greta Lee, Fantasia Barrino Taylor, and Lily Gladstone were also honored for making creative and cultural changes in the industry.
Lopez discussed the power of women with ELLE: ‘We have to be able to stand in our own power and say, “We’re not just on the periphery.”‘
She told Access Hollywood on Tuesday night that it is ‘great to be recognized by other women’ because it ‘makes it kind of extra special.’
She says it is ‘very humbling’ and that she’s ‘very honored’ to be among this year’s honorees.
Jennifer briefly spoke about her upcoming album This Is Me…Now — the highly-anticipated follow-up to This Is Me…Then.
‘This Is Me…Then is an album I wrote about the love of my life [Ben Affleck] 20 years ago [and] everybody knew what that album was about and, so, 20 years later [Ben and I] are back together,’ she explained.

It was backless
She said the songs featured on her new album ‘just poured out of me’ and that making it was a ‘very personal journey.’ Jennifer revealed that Ben actually helped her co-write some of the visual album and recalled what it was like working with him. ‘It was amazing,’ she gushed. ‘I mean, nobody knows me [and] my story better than him.’
And she told Extra: ‘When I went into the studio, I was there every single day and I wrote on every single song. It was a very, very special project, and when it was done, I knew I wanted to do something different with it — and we did. We made a movie, and it is very different than anything I have ever done in my life, the most personal, scary project I have ever done.
‘It’s a real film… it’s a real journey, it’s a real story. You’ll see… I have been calling it a “musical experience” because there is so much to experience in different ways… It’s beautiful. I don’t think anybody knows anything about my true personal life.’
This Is Me…Now will be released on February 16, 2024.
