This show-stopping plunging red dress – and moment – helped put Bec Judd on the map.
Back then, she was Rebecca Twigley and was dating Judd.
She wore the gown to the 2004 Brownlow Medal ceremony and was a red carpet regular at AFL's night of nights ever since.
It truly was a dress that stopped the nation.
Earlier this year, 20 years on, Judd told Zenn Design the iconic frock was "definitely a moment!"
"Can't believe it's been this long! The dress was given to charity which was auctioned off and I have not seen it since that night," she said.
Chris also reportedly reflected on the dress and that night in his autobiography, saying: ''Until then our relationship had been low profile."
''West Coast was on the rise, I had the Brownlow Medal - and a girlfriend who everyone now recognised - and the hysteria was sometimes out of control,'' he reportedly wrote.
The pair, seen at the Brownlow Medal in 2007, met when Bec, now 41, was 19.
They met at the Cottesloe Pub in Perth in 2002.
She recently spoke about their first meeting at the pub on Instagram, writing: "18 years 💙Hands up if you met your husband at The Cott Sunday Sesh?"
"It was kind of instant. I don't know if it was for him, but it was for me," she told Show and Tell
But Judd reportedly wrote in his memoir that he had a girlfriend at the time he met his future wife.
"I'd swear I mentioned this to Bec that first afternoon, but Bec is adamant that I did not," he wrote.
That relationship soon ended and Bec and the sports star reportedly dated on and off for a while before things got serious.
They're pictured in 2010 at the Brownlow Medal, the same year they married.
Judd reportedly wrote in his book, per Mamamia, that he was 19 at the time when he first met Bec at the pub and instantly was struck by her beauty.
"I remember thinking that Bec was very beautiful – and quite drunk!" he wrote.
Referencing his girlfriend at the time, he added: "I found myself in the sort of moral dilemma many nineteen year-old blokes struggle to negotiate (and I dare say a few young women, too).
"I had a girlfriend at the time who was overseas."
They decided to be friends, after "Bec said, quite reasonably, that she couldn't start anything with me in those circumstances".
He later proposed in Noosa after Bec once asked him when he was planning to pop the question and gave him a wriggle on.
The couple are pictured on their wedding day at Albert Park in Melbourne in December 2010.
They tied the knot in a lavish ceremony on New Year's Eve.
She cemented her fashionista status by wearing two J'Aton Couture gowns on their big day.
Bec, who is a speech pathologist, relocated to Melbourne to be with Chris before they married.
They now live in a Spanish colonial mansion worth more than $7.3 million in Melbourne's Brighton.
After tying the knot it 2010, they welcomed firstborn son Oscar, now 13, in 2011.
The couple have gone on to have four kids; Oscar, daughter Billie, 10, and twin sons Tom and Darcy, eight.
"First babies are the hardest. Thank goodness I didn't have twins as my first babies. You have no idea what you're doing! And it's anxiety-provoking," Bec once said about parenting.
Judd likes his privacy and Bec previously revealed that she once got in trouble after she shared this kissing picture of her and her husband to her thousands of followers on Instagram.
She said on her KIIS FM show The 3PM Pick-Up that they once had a lover's tiff over the kissing pic.
"He missed it, and then he saw a couple of days later and he was like 'What! I can't believe you posted that? That is so embarrassing! So embarrassing!'" she said.
"And I knew when I posted it I was going to get in trouble, but there was kind of this delayed reaction. We had a bit of an argument about it, because I thought, 'Dude, we've been together for 14 years. We've got four kids. People know you love me - people know we're doing it. So, what's your problem?"
Despite his aversion to PDA, the pair are often seen in some sweet snaps together on Bec's socials.
