A Jennifer Lopez dress that left little place to the imagination went crazy to the Internet. Thanks to him Google revolutionized his search engine

We could say without fear of being wrong that the Grammy Awards of the year 2000 were the most influential in our recent history.

To say that this green dress changed the internet course is, at this point in the film, relatively plausible.

The singer herself joked with the impact of her dress when checking that, while Carlos Santana appeared in a small corner of a newspaper posing with the 11 Grammy awards he had won that night, the mythical photo of the Versace dress He occupied the rest of the page. 19 years later, in collaboration with the designer to promote one of her parades, she dressed it again in a presentation that the own Google He was responsible for cheering at the digital level.
