Legacy
At the 72nd Academy Awards in March 2000, South Park co-creator Trey Parker wore an imitation of the dress.[20]
The Fashion Museum, Bath, asked Lisa Armstrong of the Times to choose an outfit to represent 2000 for their "Dress of the Year" collection.[21] 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."[22] Versace subsequently donated a duplicate of the dress to the museum.[21] Another duplicate is displayed at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.[23] As of 2015, the original dress remains in Lopez's possession.[24]
Lopez wore the dress during her monologue while hosting Saturday Night Live in February 2001. She wore a dress resembling the original during her monologue when she returned to host in December 2019.[25] Lopez modeled a reimagined version of the dress at the Spring 2020 Versace show during Milan Fashion Week in September 2019.
On October 15, 2002, at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Lopez was awarded the VH1 Vogue Fashion Award as the most influential star of the year. The award was presented by Versace herself.[26]
In a poll by Debenhams, published in the Daily Telegraph in 2008, the dress was voted the fifth most iconic red carpet dress of all time.[27]
In January 2015, Google's president Eric Schmidt cited the massive attention to this dress as the motivation for the creation of Google Images search in 2001.[28] In 2000, Google Search results were limited to simple pages of text with links, but the developers worked on developing this further, realizing that an image search was required to answer "the most popular search query" they had seen to date: Jennifer Lopez's green dress.[28][29]
A replica of the dress was worn by Kerri Colby on the runway during an episode of the 14th season of RuPaul's Drag Race in January 2022.[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.[31]
