The Story Behind Jennifer Lopez’s Green Versace Dress and Its Impact on Fashion History

Throughout her 30+ years in the spotlight, Jennifer Lopez has never been seen wearing the same outfit twice-thanks to her clever organization system, each item of clothing has a barcode that describes when it was last worn.

Her attention to detail and commitment to always looking her best has made her a fashion icon.

Even looking back over the last 2 decades, her style has always been captivating and dazzling, and we’re curious to know which look you think was her best from the last 20 years.

The Versace gown worn by Jennifer Lopez at the 2000 Grammy Awards has its own Wikipedia page. Made of chiffon with a jungle print and a plunging neckline, it goes down as one of the most memorable gowns ever made. Images of her wearing the dress were downloaded 642,917 times in just 24 hours after the event. This massive attention served as motivation for Google to create Google Images.

Nearly 20 years later, in 2019, J. Lo made a surprise appearance at Milan Fashion Week, wearing an updated version of the same dress and taking the runway by storm all over again.
