Jennifer Lopez Versace Dress Geri Halliwell Tyra Banks
The nearly-naked jungle-print dress that inspired the creation of Google Images has many famous fans
Jennifer Lopez
When J.Lo hit the red carpet at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 23, 2000, the internet went into a frenzy (before an internet frenzy was even a thing). The plunging, jungle-print Versace gown with a neckline dropping all the way down past her navel led to such a spike in Google searches, that former Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt said the fashion moment led to the birth of Google Images.
Ever since she debuted the jaw-dropping dress, Lopez, 51, hasn’t been afraid to recreate what she calls her “biggest fashion moment ever.” From an SNL performance to the Versace catwalk, the singer and actress brought back updated versions of her famous “naked” dress over the years. And she’s not the only one. See all the stars who have recreated Lopez’s iconic look — and even a few who wore the dress first!
Amber Valletta
The original iteration of the dress was worn by model Amber Valletta. She opened Versace’s Spring/Summer 2000 runway show five months before Lopez wore the gown, but the version Valletta wore was a shorter, knee-length style.
