The tailored coatdress that opened the show was a killer outfit. And here it was the black looks that really registered. Though the prints were the ostensible story then and now-after all, prints are what register in images on a screen (that’s one small way technology has changed fashion there’s plenty more)-the designer didn’t ignore black in either case. Go back and look at the original jungle-print show and what strikes you is how streamlined and unaccessorized the overall aesthetic is. It was definitely less merchandised than last season’s outing, and in that sense it felt quite late ’90s. This was the sharpest and sexiest she’s gone in some time. The surprise guest factor energized Donatella. The crowd was on its feet for a better view-and a better camera angle-the moment she made her entrance. On the runway the energy couldn’t have been higher. Needless to say, it was mere minutes before she was a trending topic and the new dress was near the top of a Jennifer Lopez Google Image search. After the final model made her circle, pictures of J.Lo in the iconic number scrolled by on the walls, then Donatella said, “Okay, Google, now show me the real jungle dress,” and out Lopez glided in an even more naked version than the original, as bronzed, buff, and gorgeous as ever. Versace brought the jungle prints and Google provided the Tilt Brush technology that created the digital art projections playing on the walls of the makeshift Pantheon built for the occasion-and Lopez is what made it all click. I’m proud that we inspired Google Images.” Her new Spring collection celebrated the milestone. You could argue it was the end of fashion as an insular industry and the start of fashion as entertainment.Īt a press conference before her show today, Donatella said, “We all follow technology it’s at the center of our lives today, but 20 years ago it wasn’t. It was a boon for the company, and the implications for Versace and co. So many people went hunting for that green dress, and a still nascent Google was so ill-equipped to handle the traffic, Google Images was born. It was at the Grammy Awards in February 2000 when Jennifer Lopez took her iconic red carpet turn in Donatella Versace’s jungle-print dress-the one that plunged precipitously a couple inches below her navel. Picture an era before you could find any photo you wanted on the internet. The 26-year-old fashion It girl has also been seen sitting front row at events such as the Chanel Cruise show in November, wearing a bikini top and cover-up skirt that would be very Coco Chanel, if not for the visible thong bottom that peeked out from underneath.Īhead, see her more understated nude gown for some post-Mother's Day inspiration.Conjure, if you can, a time when runway images didn’t clog your Instagram feed moments after a fashion show ended. She wore a similarly striking look by way of her Dior swimsuit while on vacation one week prior. She took to Instagram just last month to show off a little black dress by LaQuan Smith that, while timeless and versatile in nature, featured an extremely revealing neckline. Lori is known for her looks that are equal parts classic and risqué. While the naked-dress trend is generally used to refer to looks that are entirely sheer in nature, Lori's skin-tone gown gave off that optical illusion without going practically nude, taking the look and making it Mother's Day appropriate. She finished off the look with coordinated strappy heeled sandals from Femme LA that laced around each ankle.
Her hair was blown out into a loose bob that showed off a glimmer of gold from her hoop earrings. The dress originally debuted on the Versace runway back in 2006, featuring an even more dramatically open neckline.Īs the event was thrown by makeup guru Anastasia Soare, Lori's beauty look was on point, with a slightly pinched-cheek blush-tone effect and neutral glossy lips. The spaghetti straps extended from the down-to-there neckline and detailed waistline. Lori's nude-toned gown featured a totally open back and sheer lace bodice that gave way to a formfitting silk bottom that matched in the same neutral tone. It seems we now know where Lori got her classic-with-a-twist style sense from. She attended the Anastasia Beverly Hills Mother's Day Celebration by her own mother's side, as Marjorie Harvey wore a contrasting royal-blue gown for the event, complete with an up-to-there slit. Lori Harvey celebrated Mother's Day weekend in a take on the naked dress, by way of a nude-toned lace and silk halter gown from a vintage Versace collection.
