Occasionally a photo of a celebrity wearing a particularly revealing gown on the red carpet at an awards show or movie premiere will go viral, but only one such picture literally changed the internet.
At the 2000 Grammy Awards, Jennifer Lopez wore an emerald green and blue palm leaf printed Versace dress that not only became one of the more iconic dresses in history, but it led to an innovation on the internet.

The gown featured a neckline that dipped down past Lopez's bellybutton along with a scandalous central split that wowed the crowd on the red carpet as well as viewers at home.
The earthshaking outfit was among the topics Lopez discussed during her Oct. 15 appearance on SiriusXM's the Howard Stern Show.
"People have no idea what that dress did," Howard Stern said to Lopez during their recent one-on-one chat. "This is such a wild story to me. Maybe it's your greatest accomplishment, if you think about it."
Stern went on to explain how Lopez created a sensation by wearing the stunning dress to the Grammy Awards, but at the time, Google did not have a function for users to search for images.

"Because of the demand, people were typing in that they wanted to see Jennifer Lopez's dress. That image – God knows what guys were doing to it, but you know, fouling you. But I have to say, that's an amazing accomplishment. Google created an images section," Stern said.
"Yeah, Google Images was created because of me and that dress," Lopez confirmed.
"Doesn't that blow your mind?" Stern asked.
"Yeah, it does. It's crazy. I was never sure that was a real story and then I heard Sergey talking about it," Lopez added, referring to Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who launched Google Images to meet the demand of those searching for the photo of Lopez in that iconic dress.

Google CEO and executive chairman Eric Schmidt confirmed the story in 2015. "People wanted more than just text," he wrote in Project Syndicate, an opinion commentary publication. "But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: JLo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born."
Lopez has also shared her take on the sensation caused by the dress over the years. "The dress was provocative enough I guess, to make people really interested," Lopez told Vogue in 2020. "When it blew open, everybody was like 'What's going to happen next?' Nothing. It's all taped down."
