Jennifer Lopez didn't think the low-cut gown was risqué, she once revealed.
Jennifer Lopez’s “last-minute” choice to wear a navel-bearing green Versace gown to the Grammy Awards in 2000 was an unexpected coup on fashion, pop culture and technology. Now, 20 years later, with a skimpier redesign, a cameo on Saturday Night Live and a new Versace campaign, the silk chiffon gown is just as relevant. Ahead of the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, here’s the story behind “the dress.
Then-boyfriend Sean Combs, a.k.a. Diddy, predicted the dress would put Lopez on the map. “Just wow,” Diddy told Entertainment Tonight in 2017. “We were just stepping up our game as far as what we were wearing and how we were gonna use fashion.” He added, “I thought it was gonna really change the game as far as for her and fashion.
