The original sheer, plunging jungle-print frock birthed Google Images back in 2000, and proved that no one Breaks the Internet quicker than Lopez.
In honour of the 20th anniversary of the jungle print, the team at Versace revived the resort-inspired pattern in its original, tropical green colour palette.
And the brand’s mastermind Donatella Versace made sure to join Lopez on the catwalk for her final bow.
Lopez was preceded on the catwalk by fellow Versace muses Irina Shayk, Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Amber Valletta and Kaia Gerber.
In a recent video for her YouTube channel, Lopez reflected on the impact the dress had when she first hit the carpet at the 2000 Grammys.
“All of a sudden you start hearing a little murmur. I’m thinking, it’s the Grammys. It has to be somebody famous behind us,” she laughs remembering stepping out of her car.
“It was a frenzy. The flashes started going in a way that it’s not usually. There was an extra kinetic energy there. I was like what the hell is going on? I had no idea it was about this dress.”
After the carpet, she ran backstage to present the first award of the evening with David Duchovny.
“Me totally unsuspecting, walk out and as I walk out my dress, the wind hits it. It blows open slightly, so now I am like bare here and bare here!
"All of a sudden, again, a slow murmur and everybody starts clapping. We get an ovation for just standing there!” she added.
“In that moment, that dress became something that people still reference.”
Although Lopez ultimately did not win a Grammy that night, the next morning she found herself on the cover of every major newspaper across the country, with all headlines pointing to the dress seen around the world — and Google.
“And small and in the corner was Santana won 11 Grammys. I was like, this man just broke records but people want to know about this dress!” she laughs.
“It was the craziest thing. But it just goes to show you the power of fashion.”
