Model Amber Valletta Rewears Versace Dress That Jennifer Lopez Made Famous

Amber Valletta honored Donatella Versace by wearing the iconic 1999 jungle dress at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards where Donatella received the Positive Change Award.

  • On Nov. 3, Amber Valletta presented Donatella Versace with the Positive Change Award at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City, wearing Versace's iconic jungle-print gown.
  • As a longtime Versace muse, Amber Valletta debuted an early short version of the jungle-print look, opening the Versace Spring/Summer 2000 show on the runway.
  • Jennifer Lopez's 2000 Grammys wearing of the green gown sparked a fashion frenzy that generated search interest and helped spur Google Images, and she later revisited the gown on Versace runways in 2019–2020.
  • After stepping onto the red carpet, Valletta explained her inspiration for rewearing the archival look, telling Vogue, `I feel extra special to be at the CFDA Awards because I'm in the Versace jungle dress and I've never worn my dress out in public. This is the first time that I've ever worn it on the red carpet and so I'm just really excited to be in the magical dress`, she said on Nov. 3.
  • Donatella Versace previously wore her sleeveless version at the Met Gala on Dec. 6, 1999, and other celebrities including Lisa Rinna, Tyra Banks, Kerri Colby, and Trey Parker have worn versions since.
