Amber Valletta, the 51-year-old model, turned heads at the CFDA Awards, bringing back a famous look from the past. She wore the green Versace dress with a jungle print that she originally showed off back in 1999.
This dress is well-known because Jennifer Lopez wore it to the Grammy Awards in 2000. It became so popular that people searched for it online so much that it helped lead to the creation of Google Images.
Valletta styled her look with gold high heels and earrings, keeping her makeup natural and her blonde hair neatly parted.
Even though many people remember Lopez in the dress, Valletta actually wore it first on the runway for Versace in 1999.
Valletta has said that Lopez looked amazing in the dress. She also noted that the dress, designed by Donatella Versace, has lasted a long time and is a memorable piece in fashion history. Valletta also joked that she wore it first.
She shared photos of herself in the dress on Instagram, saying she has always been a Versace fan. She thanked Donatella Versace for her friendship and for making women feel strong and beautiful.
Donatella Versace responded with appreciation. Fans also loved Valletta’s look, with some commenting on how she started the trend and is now finishing it.
Lopez wore the dress again in 2019 during Milan Fashion Week. She mentioned that she almost didn’t wear it to the Grammys, but her manager insisted it was the perfect choice.
