There was big birthday buzz in the Hamptons this weekend as JLo made her way around town -- kicking off her 46th birthday festivities with family and friends with a flowered cake Friday night at Beautique in Southampton.
On Saturday, she showed up to 1 OAK in a show stopping black Bao Tranchi dress shortly after midnight hand-in-hand with Casper Smart and headed to a back table near the DJ booth. Jen danced as Mel DeBarge played her greatest hits and even grabbed the mic. She was joined by French Montana, Fat Joe, Thalia, and other VIP guests Natasha Bedingfield, Olivia Culpo and Charlie Walk.
Big names spotted at weekend benefits
More than 1,200 guests including Roger Waters, Fern Mallis, Brooke Shields, Nicole Miller, John Varvatos and Rufus Wainwright made their way through a canopy of bamboo trees, touring over 8.5 acres at The Byrd Hoffman Water Mill Foundation's Circus of Stillness Saturday night.
