While Jennifer Aniston’s Versace gown, with its sexy slit, at the 2017 Oscars had some recalling Angelina Jolie’s right-leg moment at the 2012 show, there is another comparison that you might have missed. Apparently, Aniston wasn’t the first celebrity to wear the beaded black dress—that would be Jennifer Lopez, who wore it for a concert with her ex-husband Marc Anthony at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall back, People noted.
The two Jens had very different takes on the plunging-neckline gown. Lopez wore her Versace dress with bejeweled drop earrings, slicked-back hair, and strappy stilettos. Meanwhile, Aniston went with a more shallow neckline—plunging dresses are J.Lo’s signature, after all—as well as a sleek blow-out and open-toed sandals. Not to mention, Aniston had an unforgettable accessory: a whopping $10.7 million worth of jewels from beloved celebrity designer Lorraine Schwartz, including the largest drop diamond earrings you’ve possibly ever seen, comprised of 100 carats, and a 20-carat diamond ring.
This isn’t the first time Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez have shared an Oscars headline: Back in 2015, they took one of the Academy Awards’s most memorable selfies inside the Dolby Theatre. “Photo bombed by my favorite couple, Jennifer and Justin,” Lopez wrote at the time, referencing Aniston’s beau, Justin Theroux.
