Jennifer Lopez walked the runway at Versace and broke the internet for a second time

Unless you’ve been phone-free for the past 48 hours, you’ve likely seen the sassy video of Jennifer Lopez strutting down the catwalk at Versace’s Milan Fashion Week show a million times on your Instagram feed. And whilst the footage is jawdropping (seriously though, how is she 50?!), so too is the revelation that JLo was the reason Google Images was invented. Yep, you read that right. After the singer attended the 2000 Grammy Awards wearing her original plunging green gown from Versace, searches for the dress exploded and resulted in Google creating Google Images so people could find exactly what they were looking for. Wild.
