    Jennifer Lopez

    Jenny might be from the block, but this week she’s been in Dubai – combining work and play over a fun-filled week in the UAE. Between a private gig in Dubai and a sellout show in Abu Dhabi, she’s checked-in to the Mandarin Oriental, Jumeira for some much needed R&R, and been spotted dining at J1 Beach hotspot, Sirene by Gaia.
    John Krasinski

    Acclaimed actor John Krasinski has wrapped up filming in Dubai this week.

    Vineet Bhatia and Marco Pierre White

    Two leading names in the culinary world snapped a friendly selfie at Taste of Dubai this weekend. Star chef Vineet Bhatia – the man behind Indya by Vineet in Dubai; and Marco Pierre White, who has a duo of restaurants in Abu Dhabi, posed for a picture at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre.
    French Montana

      These hotels and restaurants come icon-approved… 
      Jennifer Lopez has landed in the UAE ahead of her Saadiyat Nights performance in Abu Dhabi. One of the world’s biggest pop icons on the planet, JLO is set to perform at the open-air venue in the UAE capital on Thursday, February 20. But ahead of her gig, JLO has touched down in Dubai – and she’s already making the most of the city.
      Where is she staying, we hear you wonder? It’s likely that JLO has checked-in to one of Dubai’s most luxurious beach resorts, Mandarin Oriental Jumeira. From an Instagram post she shared with her 250 million followers, we recognise the dazzling ‘canopy of light’ installation in the lobby providing a stunning backdrop.

      Wearing a stunning tailored YSL two-piece in the hue of the year, mocha mousse, JLO tagged her glam squad in the post, and suitably captioned it, ‘Business Trip.’
      But that’s not the only place we’ve seen JLO in Dubai this week. In a snap shared with team Emirates Woman, Jennifer Lopez was pictured at one of the hottest new spots in the city, J1 Beach. Of the dozen new restaurants there, she chose to dine at new opening Sirene Beach by GAIA, soaking up the stunning setting and dining on chef Izu Ani’s lauded Greek-Mediterranean cuisine. Dressed in another show-stopping outfit, this time JLO wore a feminine Zimmerman dress for her leisurely lunch by the sea, happily posing for a photograph with the Sirene team. 
      This weekend as Saadiyat Nights draws to a close, music fans can look forward to some huge stars perform. After JLO on Thursday February 20, Gwen Stefani will headline on Friday February 21, and on Saturday February 22, Lionel Richie will say Hello as we say goodbye to Saadiyat Nights for another season.
