Jennifer Lopez shares behind-the-scenes video of Milan catwalk appearance in iconic Versace dress

Short film shows everything from first fittings to the after party

Jennifer Lopez sent fashion fans into a frenzy when she closed the Versace show during Milan Fashion Week in a remake of her iconic jungle green dress.

Now, the actor is giving her supporters a chance to see how much work went into making the fashion moment even more memorable than the first with a 15-minute behind-the-scenes video.

On Tuesday, the "I'm Real" singer shared the clip to her YouTube channel with the title: “The Versace Dress: Then & Now. I Closed The Show!!!”

The video begins by following the actor as she meets with Donatella Versace to try on the dress for the very first time.

The pair discuss how they will introduce J.Lo’s appearance on the runway, with Versace revealing she will command Google to show her “the real jungle dress”, before the singer emerges.

“I love drama”, Versace says to Lopez, before telling her the moment is “going to be massive”.

The camera then follows Lopez as she tries on the gown, instructing seamstresses to make the back lower and the bodice tighter, stating: “We want it to stay as chic as the first dress”.

On the day of the show, Lopez gets her hair and makeup done in her hotel room before making her way to the show venue where she is greeted by Versace who says: “I can’t stop looking at you”.

Later, the actor is joined by American Vogue editor Anna Wintour who congratulates Lopez on her “amazing success” and admits she “can’t wait” to see her latest movie, Hustlers.

After slipping into the iconic dress and undergoing last-minute touch ups, Lopez prepares to take the stage but not before speaking to her fans via an Instagram Live.

“Twenty years ago I wore a certain dress and it kind of made a little bit of a splash at that time,” Lopez says.

“Right now, we’re about to have another moment at Milan Fashion Week. That’s all I’m gonna say.”

The video then cuts to out-takes of the catwalk show, showing every single person on the front row standing to their feet as Lopez stormed the runway in a bid to capture the moment on their phones.

After the show, Lopez ventured backstage to applause where she was joined by Versace and models including Kaia Gerber, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid.

The lengthy video concludes with Lopez dancing the night away at the Versace after party in a long-sleeved mini dress from the spring/summer 2020 collection alongside the designer and Gigi Hadid.

Lopez first wore the green jungle dress to the Grammy Awards in 2000, a move that inspired the creation of Google Images.

In 2015, former Google CEO and executive chairman Eric Schmidt wrote an essay on Project Syndicate explaining how the singer’s dress inspired the invention.

“People wanted more than just text,” he wrote. “This first became apparent after the 2000 Grammy Awards, where Jennifer Lopez wore a green dress that, well, caught the world’s attention.

“At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: J-Lo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born."
