The Marry Me star, 53, shared photos from her holiday celebrations, announced that she centered her Christmas theme and style this year around the idea of the hummingbird.
“To me, hummingbirds are messengers of love,” Lopez wrote in her newsletter. “… They’re also the fastest bird but they always have time to stop, eat something sweet and smell the roses. I identify with them, but more than anything whenever I see one, I feel like it’s a sign from God that everything is going to be OK.”
She even decorated her Christmas tree with silver and gold hummingbirds and teal blue ornaments, which she matched in photos posted to Instagram with a similar teal blue dress with red ribbon motifs. The collar and cuffs on the dress were white with a flower motif, which she complemented with white floral earrings and red, patent leather ankle-strap platforms.
Lopez also admitted that the bird influenced her outfit for the star-studded holiday bash she threw with Ben Affleck, 50, at their Los Angeles home earlier this month.
The extravagant floor-length silk gown featured what appeared to be fan or wing patterns in several hues of silver, teal and green across the span of the long-sleeved dress. The sleeves of the dress poofed around her wrist transitioning into velvet black cuffs and a silver pattern detailed the high neckline of the dress. She accessorized the dress with silver drop earrings and wore her hair up in an elegant ponytail.
The actress and singer went all out for the first holiday season she shared with Affleck since tying the knot with him earlier this year.
Several videos from the party popped up on social media including a video of Lopez leading the crowd in a sweet rendition of “Jingle Bells,” and holding the microphone out to those gathered around.
Her beau Affleck also got in on the fun, taking over the mic for a performance of John Legend’s “By Christmas Eve.” In another video, he and Lopez were captured sharing a sweet smooch and embrace.
The couple tied the knot on July 16, during a private Las Vegas ceremony at the Little White Wedding Chapel, and then held a second wedding to celebrate with family on friends on Aug. 20.
