The dress went viral before viral was a thing. And now, almost 20 years later, J.Lo wore an updated version of it -- this time, at Versace's jungle-themed Spring 2020 show during Milan Fashion Week.

J.Lo closed out the show with a bang, with the crowd rising to their feet as J.Lo strutted down the runaway in a remaking of the original dress from 2000.

Gird your loins and fasten your wigs securely to your scalps, because Jennifer Lopez just fronted one of  the jaw-dropping fashion moments of the year.

The 50-year-old Hustlers star — currently riding a strong wave of Oscar buzz after her Lorene Scafaria-directed film debuted to enthusiastic reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival — stormed the Versace runway Friday at Milan Fashion Week, strutting past attendees in an updated version of her iconic palm-print dress from the 2000 Grammys.

Video from the event also shows Lopez closing the show alongside Donatella Versace, with the pair embracing and smiling as they walked side-by-side at the end of the presentation.

The original version of the sheer, tropically inspired gown included a plunging neckline of silk chiffon, which revealed the actress-singer’s bare chest with little more than a brooch near her navel holding the ensemble together. The dress was reportedly so popular it inspired Google to introduce an image search function following the Grammys ceremony. It would go on to become one of the defining moments of Lopez’s career.
