The most-Googled outfit of all time might be making a comeback.
Jennifer Lopez officially kicked off her “Office Romance” press tour at Tuesday night’s LA premiere, hitting the red carpet in vintage Versace.
But there’s a more iconic dress from the same Italian fashion house that started it all.
We are, of course, talking about the “jungle dress”: a green printed long-sleeve gown with a down-to-there neckline and up-to-there slit that was so provocative when she wore it to the Grammys in 2000 that it inspired the invention of Google Images.
“Do you still have that dress?” Jimmy Kimmel asked the star on Wednesday night’s “Live.” “I have both dresses,” she replied.
“[Donatella Versace] made a brand-new green dress for me” in celebration of the 20th anniversary, Lopez said.
The multihyphenate closed out the design house’s spring 2020 show wearing a re-imagined version of her original jaw-dropping look.
Kimmel suggested that she should celebrate with the jaw-dropping look every 20 years, to which the singer excitedly replied, “I’m going to make a promise right now,” as she stood up from her seat to the audience’s cheers.
“I’m gonna wear it in 20 years,” adding, “And it’s gonna look good! You’re not gonna hate it, ok?”
The 56-year-old then added that the two dresses were part of her casual archive-of-sorts, though clarified that “it’s not a formal archive like a museum or something that I’ve heard some people have …”
“I heard it’s like a store,” she says of her “idol” Barbra Streisand’s more official approach to clothing preservation over the years.
Just because the original is in storage, doesn’t mean that the design is any less relevant in 2026. In fact, buzzy new show “Off-Campus” recently featured an interpretation of the head-turning J.Lo look.
“’On the Floor’ has entered the charts for the first time in 15 years,” Lopez said of the scene.
