Versace just revisited that iconic J Lo dress

We all remember THAT Jennifer Lopez Versace dress. A bit like the safety pin dress Liz Hurley (also by Versace) wore back when she was with Hugh Grant, it became an instant icon and you couldn't think of it of one without the other.

As you recall, the singer wore the tropical print dress with a deep v neck to the 2000 Grammy Awards and obviously stole the show.

Now Donatella has decided to take us all down a trip down sartorial memory lane by re-issuing that very dress, with a 2018 twist.

At her pre-fall 2019 show in New York, the designer sent Amber Valetta down the runway in a plunging maxi made of silky fabric.

This season, it's taken on a different theme though, with pretty metallic hearts adorning the dress, a nice nod to the 80s trend.

Don't know about you, but I was into it then, and I'm even more into it now.
