Throughout the years, there have been some especially unforgettable style moments at the Grammy ceremony_ by [Emily Kirkpatrick / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Emily Kirkpatrick / People Contributor Feb 13, 2017 2:54 PM UTC by [Emily Kirkpatrick / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Emily Kirkpatrick / People Contributor Feb 13, 2017 2:54 PM UTC [Jennifer Lopez](http://people.com/tag/jennifer-lopez/) has had a long, illustrious music career, beginning back in 1999 with her first hit song, the instant classic “If You Had My Love.” And ever since then she’s been a non-stop, one-woman hit making machine. But even this deep into her smash-hit, record-breaking pop legacy, Lopez still remembers what it felt like to be a newbie in showbiz, something she reminisced over at Sunday night’s [Grammy Awards ](http://people.com/music/grammys-2017-jennifer-lopez-asked-about-drake/) – particularly when it comes to [a certain infamous dress of hers](http://people.com/style/jennifer-lopez-recreates-that-versace-grammys-dress-and-proves-she-can-still-perform-in-a-leather-garter/) that has become burned into the pop culture memory.  Jennifer Lopez (Photo by Jeff Vespa/WireImage) J. Vespa—WireImage Prior to presenting the award for best new artist to [Chance the Rapper](http://people.com/music/chance-the-rapper-racism-billboard/), the pop star kicked off music’s biggest night with a bit of nostalgia over once being a new artist herself, saying, “I will never forget my first Grammy nomination or the dress I wore that night … But this night is not about dresses or even awards.” Of course, Lopez is referring to the gown that instantaneously made her a household name, that green Versace look with a neckline so plunging it was open to her waist, and a bottom that was little more than briefs under a sheer sarong. [**RELATED PHOTOS: Inside Jennifer Lopez’s Sexy, Star-Studded Birthday Party**](http://people.com/celebrity/jennifer-lopez-birthday-party-photos/) This year, after almost 20 years of walking the award ceremony red carpet, the “[Ain’t Your Mama](http://people.com/music/jennifer-lopez-drops-new-video-aint-your-mama/)” singer went for something a little more demure – at least compared to that torso-baring look of yesteryear. For the 2017 ceremony, Lopez chose a simple pastel lilac dress with a thigh-high slit, a cleavage-exposing cutout, a slight train, and an unexpected ruffle detail at the neckline and throughout the skirt. So while it may not be a barely-there Versace bodysuit and cover-up, this year’s Grammy look certainly is no slouch in the body-baring department either. _This_ [_article_](http://people.com/style/jennifer-lopez-grammys-2017-versace-dress/) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://people.com) ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4668871/grammys-2017-jennifer-lopez-versace-dress/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4668871/grammys-2017-jennifer-lopez-versace-dress/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lopez Isn't Over Her Infamous Versace Grammys Dress Either","datePublished":"2017-02-13T14:54:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-07T07:16:48.314Z","description":"'I will never forget'","url":"https://time.com/4668871/grammys-2017-jennifer-lopez-versace-dress/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt34d8ee8cc8192d0b/6988ba0597cdff25166af76a/jennifer-lopez-grammys-versace-dress.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Emily Kirkpatrick / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt34d8ee8cc8192d0b/6988ba0597cdff25166af76a/jennifer-lopez-grammys-versace-dress.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The 59th GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet","caption":"The 59th GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet","creditText":"Christopher Polk—Getty Images for NARAS","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4668871/grammys-2017-jennifer-lopez-versace-dress/","name":"Jennifer Lopez Isn't Over Her Infamous Versace Grammys Dress Either"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The 25 Most Memorable Grammy Looks of All Time","description":"Throughout the years, there have been some especially unforgettable style moments at the Grammy ceremony","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/uvmcIzii/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-02-08T19:11:08.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/uvmcIzii.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4668871/grammys-2017-jennifer-lopez-versace-dress/","duration":"PT2M23S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4668871/grammys-2017-jennifer-lopez-versace-dress/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
