It’s been 19 years since Jennifer Lopez wore that iconic Versace dress to the 2000 Grammy Awards. You know, the dress that made jaws drop as low as the neckline. At the Versace show during Milan Fashion Week on Friday (Sep 20), Jenny From The Block showed that she’s still got the bod.

Strutting the catwalk in an updated version of the dress, the Hustlers actress, who turned 50 in July, showed even more skin than the original dress. Her walk, which oozed confidence, was done solo before she returned to the stage with designer Donatella Versace.

Vogue editrix Anna Wintour was reported to be so “enthusiastic”, she had “an uncharacteristic grin on her face” as she joined the enthralled crowd in giving the singer a standing ovation, reported the New York Post’s Page Six.
Fans of the On The Floor singer, including actress Katharine McPhee, quickly took to Twitter to post their approval. Others called JLo’s look the “8th wonder of the modern world”.
Remember, do what you love for as long as you can. Age is just a number, Jen is the best example. @JLo , you deserve everything, you are the most wonderful woman in the world.💚🙌🏼 @Versace pic.twitter.com/l9jSxd5iem
