American entertainer Jennifer Lopez wore a green Versace silk chiffon dress to the 42nd Grammy Awards ceremony on February 23, 2000.

The sheer fabric was printed with a tropical leaf and bamboo pattern, and cut with a very low neckline that extended well past Lopez's navel, while the waist of the dress was studded with citrines.

Before it became famous on the red carpet of the Grammy Awards, the dress was presented on the catwalk by model Amber Valletta, and was featured in Versace's main advertising campaign that year.

[5] Lopez arrived on the red carpet of the 42nd Grammy Awards in the company of then-boyfriend Sean Combs; he was dressed in a gray suit.

Actor David Duchovny appeared on stage with Lopez to present the award for Best R&B Album and declared to the audience, "This is the first time in five or six years that I'm sure that nobody is looking at me."

[7] The dress "had a low-cut neck that extended several inches below her navel, where it was loosely fastened with a sparkly brooch and then opened out again," exposing her midriff and then cut along the front of the legs like a bath robe.

[12] Vibe magazine said, "Jen Lo made Donatella Versace's diaphanous green fabric a national call to arms.

[18] The Fashion Museum, Bath, asked Lisa Armstrong of the Times to choose an outfit to represent 2000 for their "Dress of the Year" collection.

[19] While Armstrong initially considered choosing Hussein Chalayan's table dress, she eventually decided on the Versace dress, arguing that due to the media attention it had received through being worn by Lopez, Geri Halliwell, and others, the gown represented "some kind of high water mark in the current symbiosis between fashion and celebrity.

[30] In May 2022, a duplicate of the dress appeared in the season 14 premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta as a part of cast member Marlo Hampton's fashion archive showroom.
