Who Wore the JLo Versace Dress?

It was the dress that broke the internet – Jennifer Lopez’s iconic green Versace dress that she wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards. But who exactly wore it first?

The answer is Donatella Versace herself. Yes, you read that right, the designer of the dress actually wore it on the runway in 1999. The dress was part of Versace’s Spring/Summer collection and was modeled by Amber Valletta.

But it wasn’t until JLo stepped out in the same dress at the 2000 Grammy Awards that it became a cultural phenomenon. The dress, which featured a plunging neckline and sheer fabric, left little to the imagination and garnered widespread attention.

In fact, so many people were searching for images of JLo in the dress that Google had to create Google Images to meet demand.

The dress has since become one of fashion’s most iconic moments. It has been referenced and recreated countless times, with everyone from Kim Kardashian to Ariana Grande putting their own spin on it.

But despite its popularity, JLo almost didn’t wear it to the Grammys. In an interview with Vogue, she revealed that her stylist at the time had reservations about it and even warned her that she might not be able to sit down in it.

Thankfully for us all, JLo ignored her stylist’s advice and went ahead with wearing the infamous dress. And as they say, the rest is history.

So there you have it – Donatella Versace may have worn it first but Jennifer Lopez is undoubtedly responsible for making the green Versace dress one of fashion’s most iconic moments.
