Jennifer Lopez's Most Famous Controversial Dress Is Making a Comeback

If breaking the internet had been a thing in the year 2000 (it predated the social media age, after all), Jennifer Lopez certainly would have done it. That was the year she wore that plunging green deep-V Versace dress to the Grammy Awards that people haven't been able to stop talking about ever since. Prior to J.Lo making it famous, the dress debuted on Versace's S/S 00 runway, modeled by show-stealing Amber Valletta. So, where are we going with this?

Last night, the Versace Pre-Fall 19 show took place in NYC. The runway was filled with It girls like Gigi Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Hailey Baldwin, and Emily Ratajkowski, but it was Valletta who, once again, stole the show. The Versace-favorite supermodel walked the runway wearing a dress almost identical to the one she and J.Lo wore nearly two decades ago, but this one was reimagined in a very of-the-moment heart print. J.Lo, if you're listening, please wear it soon—you'll probably break the internet.

Scroll on to see the original controversial dress and the new one, along with other buzzy looks from the Versace Pre-Fall 19 runway.
