How does one spend a milestone birthday? Jennifer Lopez slipped into a sultry metallic dress for a lavish party in her honor.

For Jennifer Garner, it’s about getting love from her famous celebrity friends. Laverne Cox, on the other hand, got her very own Barbie doll and recreated the look for the party of her dreams.

Meanwhile, Jessica Seinfeld completed her studies and finally graduated from NYU at the age of 50.

Despite the controversy surrounding how they met, Jessica is still happily married to comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

They are also the proud parents of three children: Sascha, Julian, and Shepherd. Jerry might be a comedy legend, but Jessica has a lot of achievements under her belt.

She has written five cookbooks, all of which are New York Times bestsellers with glowing reviews on Amazon.

It’s still a few months until Jessica turns 51, but she’ll celebrate her birthday this year with a shiny new diploma.

The media personality graduated from NYU’s Wagner Graduate School of Public Service on May 25.

Jessica proudly shared a series of posts on Instagram documenting the momentous occasion.

A post shared by Jessica Seinfeld (@jessseinfeld)

In the caption, she fondly recalled: “the last two years learning alongside the best people working in public service.”

As the recent Robb Elementary School shooting in Texas was still fresh on everyone’s mind, Jessica provided a glimmer of hope with her statement.

“So, on one of the darkest days in our country’s history, I feel hopeful that this group will help carry us, elevate us and advance us to a better place.”
