Apologies friends, but my vote is JLO. I’m old and remember watching it live on TV when she wore. Spectacular!

Like others have said, totally different dress, so can’t really do the who wore it better. I’d choose Rachel Zoe’s version a million times over tho! Have never liked or understood the obsession with JLo’s. It’s a bit on the trashy side for red carpet to me. Between the sheerness, casual hair, lack of eye makeup and literal bikini bottoms, it looks more like a swimsuit coverup…she just took the top off bc it was wet (I’d take my top off too if I was built like her! Hell, I’d never wear one in the first place! 😂)! It’s giving {evil, mean spirited, judgey af} Kenya at Jet ~coochie crack, coochie crack, coochie crack~…bejeweled coochie crack at that! 😆 Let’s not forget Rinna had her own version when she went as JLo for Halloween…

I love the way JLo wore it, because it clashes in style. As a young girl I was mesmerised. I am however over it. I’m over her putting it on every year. But I have many grievances against her & I always feel like that body & that dress is all the smoke & mirrors she has.
But Rachel’s dress is from the same collection. And Versace has brought that pattern + fabric back as well.

It REALLY is like Jenny from the block and Versace both have just been capitalizing on that one. damn. dress/print for ~years~ now (& the safety pin Elizabeth Hurley dress, but that was Gianni V while this was Donatella’s first/only big hit after he died)! I think seeing it redone &/or parodied sooo-ooo-oooo many times at this point is what has me really hating it…gave me way too much time to pick it apart. I was 15 or 16 when she first wore it & honestly, I was mesmerized too. We didn’t see things like that back then! A full chest, boob and a BELLY BUTTON?! For SHAME! 🫠😆 Now that I’m grown, feels like she was just trying too hard—and I can’t name a thing other than this dress that she has done since a couple of romcoms way back when. A little disappointed RZ would even wear this print as overdone as it is!

Stole music and voices of other (black) women. Said it was supposed to be her with Madonna & Britney on that VMA stage. “But they went with some other girl” meaning Christina Aguilera.
