There are appearances in the lives of stars, which become historical moments within a few days. For Jennifer Lopez, the 23rd of February 2000 was such a day: At that time, searches for her name came through the roof on Google when Lopez wore the now legendary "Jungle Dress" at the Grammy Awards.
At that moment, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt later told, the company realized that people are not just looking for information on the internet - they're also looking at photos. That's how the idea for image search came about, as the BBC reports.
On Friday night, Lopez stepped towards the end of the Milan Versace show in a reissue of the iconic dress through the hall. Visitors to Fashion Week did not keep their seats in view of this re-enactment.

Jennifer Lopez: The Jungle QueenDonatella Versace played the jungle theme throughout the collection, with applications, fringes, prints. However, her new fashion also has other facets: striking shoulders, parkas and raincoats in fluorescent colors, sportswear with "Gianni Versace" imprints - an homage to her brother, who was murdered in 1997.
For Lopez, who is currently seen in the stripper thriller "Hustlers", it is currently doing well. Recently, the 50-year-old may even officially call himself a fashion icon: with this title, the Association of American fashion designers CFDA had awarded her this year.
The singer uses her clothes to radiate self-confidence and strength, it was said in the grounds. Lopez, who became engaged to baseball pro Alex Rodriguez in March, is not the first female singer to receive this award. Rihanna and Beyoncé have also been honored as fashion icons, as have Naomi Campbell and musician Pharrell Williams.
