Overview
- Valletta presented the CFDA Positive Change Award to Donatella Versace and posed with the designer on the red carpet in New York.
- She said it was the first time she had ever worn her Versace jungle dress in public or on a red carpet.
- The model originally debuted the design on the Versace runway around 1999–2000, before Jennifer Lopez popularized it at the 2000 Grammys.
- Lopez’s Grammys appearance is widely credited by former Google leadership with prompting the creation of Google Image Search, and she later rewore a reinterpretation on the Spring 2020 runway.
- The CFDA ceremony at the American Museum of Natural History also recognized other figures, with A$AP Rocky receiving the Fashion Icon Award.
