Forever pop star and actress Jennifer Lopez broke the internet on Friday evening (Sept. 20) when she closed the runway at Versace's spring 2020 show during Milan fashion week wearing an updated version of the plunging palm-printed green gown she wore to the 42nd GRAMMY Awards in 2000. 

Lopez captured the moment on her Instagram, writing, "So this just happened."

Uh, yeah, you could say that again.

GRAMMYs

Back in the year 2000, Lopez famously attended the 42nd GRAMMYs alongside then-boyfriend Sean "Puffy" Combs (pictured above). She stole the show when she presented the Best R&B Album award with actor David Duchovny. Not only did she wow on stage and on the red carpet in that captivating green Versace dress, but she was nominated for a Best Dance Recording GRAMMY for "Let's Get Loud." The high-energy single was featured on her 1999 debut album, On The 6.

On Feb. 23, 2000, stars filled Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles to close out the last century with a celebration of the best in music from its final year. The 42nd GRAMMY Awards was filled with big moments, including Santana sweeping the night with eight golden gramophones for Supernatural and then-emerging pop princess Christina Aguilera winning Best New Artist.

Yet one of the most talked about moments from the evening was Jennifer Lopez's now-iconic plunging green Versace dress. To celebrate the legendary J.Lo on her 51st birthday today (July 24), for the latest GRAMMY Rewind, we revisit this day she took our breath away, as she presented the first GRAMMY of the night with actor David Duchovny.

On duty to present the award for Best R&B Album (which went to TLC for FanMail), the pair entered the stage to raucous cheers applause. "The X-Files" star noted it was the first time in five or six years he was sure no one was looking at him. He added that he'd always wanted to meet the Six Million Dollar Woman.

"Well, I'm not bionic. I'm real," the singer/dancer/actor joked.  

Then it must be something in the water, because the "I'm Real" singer revisited an updated version of dress on the Versace runway last fall, turning heads and breaking the internet yet again. This prompted Google to confirm that the creation of Google Images was directly birthed from countless people searching for images of J.Lo in her much-buzzed about 2000 GRAMMYs fashion win.

In a video shared to her YouTube channel on April 2019, she shared how the memorable fashion choice came together the day of the show because she was busy filming "The Wedding Planner." Her stylist was limited to a few options because of the timing and advised against wearing the Versace number because several people, including Donatella Versace herself, had already worn it, but Lopez knew it was "the one."

Also at the 2000 GRAMMYs, Lopez received her first nomination—Best Dance Recording for "Let's Get Loud," from her stellar 1999 debut album, On The 6. 

Happy birthday, eternal icon J.Lo!

Throughout my life, I’ve been fortunate to meet so many amazing people … but there’s those select few where there’s an instinct inside you that tells you to pay close attention. And I did. When I met her I was hanging on to her every word…

"I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a true champion of gender equality and was a strong woman for me and all the little girls of the world to look up to," Lopez tweeted, along with photos of her and fiancée/former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez with Ginsburg.

"I will always remember what she said to us the day we met her: 'Be the best you.' It was simple yet profound. Thank you RBG for fighting all these years. We will honor you by continuing to fight for equality, empathy and justice for all."

According to their website, Robin Hood is the biggest poverty-fighting organization in N.Y.C., working with over 250 local non-profits that support food, housing, education, legal services, work opportunities and more. Their COVID-19 Relief Fund was created to ensure that the city's most vulnerable can survive the harrowing pandemic, with 100% of donations going directly to the orgs working on the frontlines, as overhead costs are paid by board members.

With "Rise Up New York!," which is co-hosted by iHeartMedia, Robin Hood is aiming to raise $10 million for the fund. They are asking for $10 donation from individuals and hoping to get at least 1 million out of over 8.5 million New Yorkers on board.

The star-studded performance, featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin, further solidified Latin pop as a dominant force in pop culture across mainstream America

Feb 2, 2020 - 6:27 pm

In one of the most highly anticipated music events of the year, Latin pop superstars Jennifer Lopez and Shakira delivered a dazzling, star-studded halftime show at Super Bowl 2020 today (Sunday, Feb. 2). Lopez and Shakira blew through a career-spanning super medley composed of each of the two singers' respective hits from across the decades. 

Decked out in a bedazzling, shiny red dress, Shakira kicked off the show with a run of her chart-topping hits in both English and Spanish, including "She Wolf," "Empire" and "Ojos Así." Midway through her set, she whipped out a glittery-red guitar and shredded a portion of Led Zeppelin's iconic "Kashmir" before segueing into her U.S. breakthrough hit, "Whenever, Wherever." 

Minutes later, Shakira brought out fellow Latin pop icon Bad Bunny, who was dressed in a blindingly silver suit from the future. Together, the duo performed a mashup of their hit singles, including the GRAMMY-nominated "I Like It," Bunny's U.S. No. 1 hit with Cardi B and J Balvin, and Shakira's "Chantaje," her 2016 collaboration with Maluma, and her internationally chart-topping, GRAMMY-nominated song "Hips Don't Lie."

For her part, triple threat Lopez hypnotized the masses with her era-defining hip-hop and R&B classics, including "Jenny From The Block," "Ain't It Funny" and "Get Right." Climbing up a sky-high dance pole, in a nod to her starring role in the 2019 blockbuster film Hustlers, she then launched into her GRAMMY-nominated dance-pop track, "Waiting For Tonight." In another surprise moment, Lopez brought out Colombian reggaetonero J Balvin, who performed a medley of his tracks, including "Que Calor," his 2019 collaboration with Diplo's Major Lazer and Dominican dembow artist El Alfa, and "Mi Gente," his global hit with Willy William. 

The two songstresses then joined forces centerstage for a mashup of their solo tracks, including Lopez's GRAMMY-nominated "Let's Get Loud" and Shakira's "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)."

With their spellbinding halftime show at Super Bowl 2020, one of the most viewed TV spectacles across the U.S. every year, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira further solidified Latin pop as a dominant force in pop culture across mainstream America. 

Prior to the halftime show, Demi Lovato wowed the crowd with a powerful rendition of the U.S. national anthem, and gospel icon Yolanda Adams officially opened Super Bowl 2020 with a beautiful performance of "America The Beautiful."
