Jennifer Lopez’s Date Night Bodycon Dress Can Be Yours for $99

Jennifer Lopez is a street-style superstar, mastering both designer and affordable fashions. The latest example of her sartorial prowess? A date night during her “baecation” with boo Alex Rodriguez. J.Lo rocked a skintight bodycon dress, and — get this — the look was under $100!

Heading out for a romantic dinner in Paris on Saturday, Lopez, 47, stunned in Mistress Rocks Take Em Down Nude Bandage Two Piece ($99). She kept the styling simple with just hoops and Giuseppe Zanotti Design heels.

The best thing about the World of Dance judge’s date-night outfit is that it’s still available (for now). Grab it while you can.

The co-ord is, of course, just one of many stunning ensembles that Lopez rocked during her “baecation” with Rodriguez, 41. She went more glitzy in this sequined dress.

Then tried on a very high-fashion lunch (hello, Gucci dress!) look for the Louvre.

But wasn’t afraid to keep things casual in a black crop top and white pants.

After all, when A-Rod is your main accessory, does it really matter what you wear?

Cooking at home with your partner is sometimes entirely more rewarding than going out to eat. Besides, who really wants to mess with reservations and pricey wine lists? Cooking at home saves you money, and can oftentimes be a more intimate experience than if you two were sitting across from each other at a restaurant. On your next date night in, prepare a new recipe to spice things up in more ways than one – we have a few that'll definitely satisfy. Bon appétit!

Chicken Tikka Masala Naan Tacos

With this Indian take on tacos, you can customize to your preferences. Like it spicy? Add more chili. Like it saucy? Drizzle on that mint yogurt dressing, and dig in! (via Brit + Co)

Pasta with Pancetta and Tomato Sauce

Have your own Lady and the Tramp moment with this pancetta twist on your standard spaghetti. Date night is served! (via Brit + Co)

This tasty dish requires very little introduction. Tacos? Always. Carnitas? Yes, please. Done in under an hour? Duh. Plus the Instant Pot version beats slow-cooking it by a mile. (via Brit + Co)

Spicy Pesto Pasta Alla Vodka

The secret to this one-pot pasta from Half Baked Harvest? Basil pesto, and plenty of cheese on top. (via Brit + Co)

Cast Iron Skillet Pizza

With a cast-iron skillet, store-bought dough and all the cheese you can imagine, you can easily make delicious pizza at home for the fraction of the price. Just add your favorite toppings! (via Brit + Co)

One Pot Chicken Couscous

This deliciously vibrant meal will impress your taste buds, and it's ready in just 30 minutes. (via Brit + Co)

Cheesy Garlicky Pasta

Spaghetti, when twirled in golden-brown garlic and hot olive oil, becomes perfectly coated in a simple mixture of spicy red pepper flakes, tangy lemon juice, and salty Parmesan cheese. Top your bowl with parsley and extra Parm, and you have dinner on the table (or the couch) for two. (via Brit + Co)

French Dip Sandwiches

Keep it casual with a fancy sandwich night. We love a good reason to use our Instant Pot, and this French Dip sandwich is better than most. Juicy and delicious, it's comfort food at its best! (via Brit + Co)

The Perfect Steak Recipe

With minimal seasoning and the right equipment, you can make a delicious steak that's seared to perfection in under five minutes. (via Brit + Co)

Vegetable Galette

Pre-made pie dough FTW! Add asparagus, leek, and Swiss chard for a seriously delish meal experience for you and your love. (via Brit + Co)

Pressure Cooker Chicken Pho

It can easily take 10 hours just to make broth for pho, but with the help of a pressure cooker, it can be ready in under an hour. It's fun to make — and to eat too! (via Brit + Co)

Cauliflower Rice Sushi

Full of color and flavor, there's just something about sushi recipes that our tastebuds love. Grab a handful of veggies and your favorite chopsticks, and try your hand at rolling your own sushi with a yummy cauliflower rice twist. (via Brit + Co)

Grilled Umami Burgers

When we sunk our teeth into the world-famous Umami Burger that's served in dining locations as far as Japan, it was love at first bite. Every component, from the Parmesan crisp to the caramelized onions to the seared patty itself, bursts with savory flavor — and now you can make it at home with this recipe from the cookbook Flavor Bombs: The Umami Ingredients That Make Taste Explode. (via Brit + Co)

Roasted Salmon Nicoise

Roasted Salmon Nicoise

With the success of our one pot wonders like Skillet Pan Pizza, we are pleased to introduce our next dish, Roasted Salmon Nicoise. While our pizza recipe was fun, our salmon is a decidedly fancier take on the one pot wonder. (via Brit + Co)

Deep Fried Oysters

Oysters are a little bit like eggs – they can be served so many different ways. There's the classic raw oyster, salty and delicious. Then there's the barbecued oyster, so tasty with toppings. We can't forget the oyster Rockefeller, baked with cheesy deliciousness. Here's one breaded in chips and deep fried, like a dessert and an appetizer in one. (via Brit + Co)

Instant Pot Paleo Orange Chicken

Skip your usual Chinese takeout and try our paleo version of the classic American-Chinese dish orange chicken. It's like bringing the restaurant to you – yum! (via Brit + Co)

Lemony Shrimp Linguine with Spinach

Lemony Shrimp Linguine With Spinach

With a little more effort (and not that much more time), it's possible to cook up a complete pasta meal (as in veg, protein, and carb) in one pot. Here's proof! (viaBrit + Co)

Honey Mustard Chicken

Do a bit of arranging, brushing, and drizzling, then let the oven take care of the rest of the work to create a dinner that's sure to end up on the regular recipe rotation! We use chopped potatoes, carrots, and red onion in this recipe, but you could easily replace with baby new potatoes, baby carrots, and shallots or scallions to skip the knife work! (via Brit + Co)

Pesto Pasta Smoked Salmon

Pesto Pasta Smoked Salmon

For this one-pot meal, we're also adding mascarpone, asparagus and smoked salmon to give this pesto/spaghetti dish a luxurious feel. An amazing 20-minute meal, made in one pan — you don't even need dishes! (via Brit + Co)

Whether you're celebrating with your significant other for the first time or the tenth, you've probably already given some thought to your Valentine's Day dinner ideas. You'll be hungry by the time the sun sets, whether you've spent the whole day together, or you've just come back from the best date night ever. These recipes are perfect for ending the night on a delicious note or they can serve as your date night — cooking together is a super fun way to spend your time.

You can show your favorite valentine love with DIY Valentine's gifts, pink cocktails, fruit salad, or you can whip up a fancy-schmancy (and romantic) dinner. You can try the same recipe until it's just right, or experiment with a different pick every night of February. No matter what your favorite cuisine is, there's something for everyone.

Here are our favorite Valentine's Day dinner ideas for a date night meal to remember.

​What is a good Valentine's Day dinner?

A good Valentine's Day dinner is anything that is delicious and romantic, and that will change for every couple (or if you're alone!). V Day is always a good excuse to cook up a steak if you and your partner eat meat, but pasta or seafood are also great ideas. Or go for a surf and turf dinner that incorporates all of them. You can also add aphrodisiacs into the menu, but whatever you pick, don't forget dessert!

What is the Valentine's Day menu?

Your Valentine's Day menu is totally up to you and your partners' tastes. You can check out what's local to your area if you want to have a menu that reflects this time of year in your state. In terms of courses, you can opt for dinner and dessert or go all out with an appetizer, entrée, drinks, and dessert.

What to make for a romantic dinner at home?

Here are some popular Valentine's Day foods you can consider making:

  • Steak
  • Seafood
  • Chocolate
  • Pasta
  • Sushi
  • Wine
  • Fish
  • Crème brûlée
  • Strawberries

Sous Vide Steak

Spicy Pesto Pasta Alla Vodka

Image via Half Baked Harvest

You know we love vodka cocktails, so we are all about some vodka pasta! It's a 30-minute recipe topped with basil pesto and loads of your favorite cheese and you can add some red pepper flakes for some extra spice if you want. Swap the vodka for broth or water if you don't want to cook with alcohol. It'll taste just as good! (via Brit + Co)

Smoked Salmon Poke Bites

For charcuterie board fans or those of us who'd rather much on apps than have a full-blown dinner, these poke bites are cute, delicious, and have us dreaming of summer. Pickled ginger, avocado, and red onion take this recipe to a new level. Yum! (via Brit + Co)

Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken

Quick, easy, and delicious, what's not to love about this chicken recipe?! Tomato-y, buttery chicken goes great with flavorful naan and white rice. Sprinkle with cilantro before you serve. (via Brit + Co)

Baked Hot Chocolate Doughnuts

Okay so donuts don't technically count as an option for dinner but you can definitely make them for dessert! (Especially if you've already had your fill of lobster tails or pasta). You can even add some espresso to the chocolate glaze for a mocha taste. (via Brit + Co)

Cauliflower Rice Sushi

Not only does sushi make for a yummy Valentine's Day dinner for you and your S.O. but the actual construction of the sushi sounds just as great! Swap regular rice for some DIY cauliflower rice but feel free to keep your favorite fillings and sauces. (via Brit + Co)

Another great option for a smaller, finger food dinner, stuffed avocados make for a tasty and filling dish. You can also leave out the shrimp to make this an easy meat-free recipe. (via Brit + Co)

Angelina Jolie has always been mother — but she's also a literal mother to six kids whom she clearly cares about fiercely. Since she first adopted Zahara, Maddox, and Pax to giving birth to Vivienne and Knox, it's always been evident that her children are her entire world. While she rarely talks about her children (especially given her highly contested divorce at the moment), Angelina shared a little slice of her feelings on motherhood, insights on her children, and more with Good Morning America.

Here's what Angelina Jolie had to say about her kids — including which one of them is the most private!

www.youtube.com

- YouTube

Angelina opened up about her feelings for her family while chatting about her new movie Maria with Good Morning Americaon November 21, 2024. Host Michael Strahan asked Angie about if there's anything she loves as much as her character loves singing, and she replied that it's her "motherhood."

"It’s my happiness. You can take everything else away from me," she said. "I could — nothing else matters."

When asked about her sons' involvement in Maria, Angelina explained that despite their involvement behind the scenes, they're very uninterested in a life in the spotlight. She said, "None of my children want to be in front of the camera. They're quite private."

Angelina elaborated, "Shiloh's extremely private. They weren't born with privacy, so I hope they can have that."

This interview comes after Angelina and Knox attended the Governor's Awards with her on November 18, 2024. His rare appearance shocked so many — including Brad. Daily Mail reported that Pitt found the timing "suspicious."

The source said, "'She is trying to get under his skin after his recent win and using Knox to do so is odd. Knox wants nothing to do with Hollywood and has no communication with Brad."

Despite the weirdness, the source also said, "He [Brad] believes that, in time, his children will come back into his life."

How many kids does Angelina Jolie have?

Angelina Jolie has six children. She adopted Zahara, Maddox, and Pax, and later gave birth to Vivienne and Shiloh. She shares her children with Brad Pitt, most of whom aren't on good terms with him at the moment.
