We know her as Jennifer Lopez, JLo or Jenny from the Block. However, this week the Bronx-born singer announced she's going by a new name: Mrs Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
The Let's Get Loud singer, 52, married Ben Affleck, 49, in a low-key Las Vegas wedding ceremony. Naturally, all eyes were on the bride and, more specifically, what she wore.

For her Las Vegas nuptials, she chose a dress by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad, known to be one of her favourites. The white, lace off-the-shoulder long-sleeve gown featured a sweetheart neckline, corset bodice and fishtail train, and was paired with a matching lace trim veil from the same designer.
After finding fame playing the lead role in biopic Selena (1997), Lopez went on to become one of the world's most famous triple threats: singer, dancer, actress.
During her career, where she has racked up everything from Billboard Awards to Golden Globe nominations, the Jenny from the Block singer has been a red carpet stalwart, making headlines and best-dressed list thanks to her penchant for ultra-glamorous gowns.
She regularly turns to maisons such as Valentino or Versace and she's long been a supporter of labels from the Arab world, helping designers such as Murad and Georges Hobeika become Hollywood go-tos.
One of her most notable style moments along the way was the Versace jungle print dress she wore to the Grammy Awards in 2000.
Reflecting on the dress 19 years later, she said on the Moments of Fashion YouTube series: "Probably, my biggest fashion moment ever was wearing the green Versace jungle print dress.
"It was a frenzy ... The [camera] flashes started going in a way that [they don't] usually. There was an extra kinetic energy there."
As well as a memorable impact in the fashion world, the dress played a role in the world of technology, as it encouraged Google to create Google Images.
"Years later I found out that because of that night and because of that dress, Google Images was actually created," Lopez said. "So many people went searching for this and they had no way to search a picture at that time on the Internet, so they created Google Images," she explains, before joking: "I'm just wondering, where is my cheque?".

How Filipinos in the UAE invest
A recent survey of 10,000 Filipino expatriates in the UAE found that 82 per cent have plans to invest, primarily in property. This is significantly higher than the 2014 poll showing only two out of 10 Filipinos planned to invest.
Fifty-five percent said they plan to invest in property, according to the poll conducted by the New Perspective Media Group, organiser of the Philippine Property and Investment Exhibition. Acquiring a franchised business or starting up a small business was preferred by 25 per cent and 15 per cent said they will invest in mutual funds. The rest said they are keen to invest in insurance (3 per cent) and gold (2 per cent).
Of the 5,500 respondents who preferred property as their primary investment, 54 per cent said they plan to make the purchase within the next year. Manila was the top location, preferred by 53 per cent.

What is a robo-adviser?
Robo-advisers use an online sign-up process to gauge an investor’s risk tolerance by feeding information such as their age, income, saving goals and investment history into an algorithm, which then assigns them an investment portfolio, ranging from more conservative to higher risk ones.
These portfolios are made up of exchange traded funds (ETFs) with exposure to indices such as US and global equities, fixed-income products like bonds, though exposure to real estate, commodity ETFs or gold is also possible.
Investing in ETFs allows robo-advisers to offer fees far lower than traditional investments, such as actively managed mutual funds bought through a bank or broker. Investors can buy ETFs directly via a brokerage, but with robo-advisers they benefit from investment portfolios matched to their risk tolerance as well as being user friendly.
Many robo-advisers charge what are called wrap fees, meaning there are no additional fees such as subscription or withdrawal fees, success fees or fees for rebalancing.
