Supermodel Amber Valletta recalled the iconic green Versace dress that Jennifer Lopez rocked at the 2000 Grammys and reminded fans that she wore it first.
Valletta was the first to wear the gown when she modeled it on the runway for Versace's Spring/Summer 2000 show and she later donned it again when she posed for the famed fashion house's campaign.
She continued,"It was just like Donatella, Donatella, Donatella. The infamous jungle dress. I wore it on the runway and then obviously, I did the campaign. Then, J. Lo wore it to the Grammys. And again, massive iconic moment when she wore that dress.""Nobody went out like that ever. I mean, no one had ever shown skin in the front like that, you know, past the navel and then a big slit up the front," Valletta explained.
"At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen," Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt wrote for Project Syndicate via Business Insider."But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: JLo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born." Donatella herself sported the gown at the"Rock Style" Met Gala in December 1999 and Spice Girl Geri Halliwell donned it for the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France in January 2000.
