By now you know we're talking about the Versace gown Jennifer Lopez wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards. If you're somehow not familiar, allow us to paint a picture. The hitmaker showed up to the biggest night in music with her then-boyfriend Sean Combs, and she wasn't playing games. J.Lo's jewelry, hair, and shoes for the event were fairly understated. That's because her dress said more than enough.
People have taken to calling J.Lo's look that night The Jungle Dress. That's because the mostly sheer, long-sleeved 'fit features a tropical-inspired print of jungle leaves. On top of a signature print that instantly stood out on the red carpet, it was also distinguished by its low neckline. By low, we mean it was cut to below her bellybutton. The dress gathered together with an intricate brooch at her hips and instantly flared out again thanks to a slit, resulting in a bottom every bit as daring as the top.
The bold look was on full display when Lopez took the stage to present the first award of the night. "Well, Jennifer. This is the first time in five or six years that I am sure that nobody is looking at me," her co-presenter David Duchovny joked (via YouTube). It's safe to say he wasn't wrong. After all, Harper's Bazaar and Insider both named the dress one of the most iconic to ever appear at the Grammys.
