According to the company's recent blog post, to mark two decades of the iconic moment where Google Images was born, search engine giant recently celebrated at Milan Fashion Week by ‘reuniting’ with Versace to reinvent the famous green dress modelled by JLo while also showcasing the company’s new products.
In the year 2000, American celebrity, Jennifer Lopez wore a jungle print dress designed by Donatella Versace at the Grammy Awards which led to many users of Google to search for the image itself.

Back then though, search results (even for images) were merely just a list of blue links. However, the search engine giant realised that they were not able to directly connect people with images they wanted to see.
Fast forward 18 years, Google images has become one of the most used search services by people not just to look up for their favourite celebrities but for everyday work as well.
Former CEO Eric Schmidt wrote in 2015 that the search for 'JLo wearing that dress' had become such a popular query that Google had to work on it and bring something new.
Lopez walked in the modern version of the green jungle print dress catching the attention of millions.

The fashion show incorporated the search engine giant’s VR painting app, Tilt Brush, “helped decorate the runway space with digital artwork inspired by the new print,” according to the blog post.
The show also displayed a demonstration of Google’s voice-activated AI helper, Google Assistant.
