Amber Valletta Channels Jennifer Lopez in Her Iconic Green Dress
The 'Hitch' star and model put her own spin on the memorable red carpet look.
parade.comThe latest news is that Jennifer Lopez’s iconic green Versace dress is back in the spotlight because Amber Valletta wore it at the 2025 CFDA Awards, reviving interest in the original 2000 Grammys look.[2][4]
What’s new
The dress itself is the same famous “jungle dress” Lopez wore to the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000, and recent coverage has focused on how it still resonates in fashion culture. Reports say Lopez has described the dress as a moment that marked her career, while the look continues to be discussed as one of the most memorable red-carpet outfits ever.[1][3][2]
Why it matters
The renewed attention is not about a brand-new Lopez appearance so much as the dress’s ongoing legacy. Articles in late 2025 and early 2026 connect the gown to its status as a fashion landmark and to the long-running story that it helped drive demand for image search online.[7][1]
Recent angle
The most current angle is Amber Valletta wearing the dress again, which prompted fresh coverage and comparisons to Lopez’s original moment. That has kept the green Versace dress in entertainment headlines well into 2026.[4][9][1][2]
