IDK about you, but I mark February 23, 2000 as my formal introduction to the world of pop culture—aka the day that Jennifer Lopez dropped jaws around the world when she hit up the Grammys red carpet in that plunging jungle-printed Versace dress. In fact, the dress was such a show stopper that it legit inspired the creation of Google Images and changed the entire course of internet history. So uh, that being said, it's no wonder why Tyra Banks showed love for J.Lo's dress on Dancing With the Stars.

Last night was Icons Night on DWTS, and to mark the occasion, Tyra wore a dress that was printed so similarly to J.Lo's that I definitely had to do a double take to ensure it wasn't a replica.

Here's Tyra's interpretation:

Tyra didn't just limit herself to one look, though. Later on, Tyra swapped outfits for a super structured, femme-bot ensemble and topped off the look with a bubblegum pink wig to look like Nicki Minaj.
