For Marc Anthony's surprise birthday party in NYC, Jennifer Lopez pulled out all the stops: hiring Dita Von Teese for a burlesque performance, converting the Bowery Hotel into a Cuban-themed nightclub and making sure that celebs like Brooke Shields and Leah Remini were in attendance. As for her appearance, she spared no detail: the perfect white empire waist dress which showed off her fresh-from-a-triathlon physique and the natural yet glamorous waves that framed her face.

To look extra fly for her cousin's wedding, Mariel Concepcion decided to put a little oomph in her hairdo. The gorgeous, 28-year-old associate editor of Dominican descent normally wears it naturally curly with tight ringlets, but she decided to kick it up a notch and put a hot curling iron to it to further define the look. "I thought, 'I look fabulous,'" she says, "but as soon as I walked in, the first thing one of my cousins told me was that he had a bottle of gel in his car to lend me if i needed it!"
