| Jennifer Lopez inspired the creation of Google Images. | Jennifer Lopez has worn a lot of memorable dresses on a lot of red carpets over the years, but only one broke the internet to such an extent that it inspired the creation of Google Images. The multi-hyphenate entertainer first wore the plunging leaf-print silk chiffon Versace gown to the 2000 Grammy Awards in L.A., which former Google CEO Eric Schmidt later revealed led to "the most popular search query we had ever seen." The problem was that the then-two-year-old search engine "had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: J.Lo wearing that dress." Thus, in July 2001, "Google Image Search was born."
Two decades later, to the delight of everyone in attendance, Lopez also closed out Versace's Spring 2020 show in Milan by wearing a reimagined version of the dress, after other models walked the catwalk to the tune of her hit 2000 single "Love Don't Cost a Thing." After a projected montage of Google Images searches for the original dress and a voice saying, "OK, Google. Now show me the real jungle dress," J.Lo herself appeared in an even more provocative and bedazzled rendition of the gown. Once a showstopper, always a showstopper.

 | Lopez was the first Latina actress to earn $1 million for a movie role. |
|
| More than two decades later, Selena (1997) arguably remains Lopez's best-known film role — and with good reason. In addition to being about the beloved Tejano musician Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, whose life was tragically cut short in 1995, the biopic was added to the National Film Registry in 2021 for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The film was also significant for marking the first time a Latina actress earned $1 million for a movie role, a major milestone in Lopez's career that's since been repeated several times. | | |
