Jennifer Lopez is throwing it back to 2001!

On Saturday, May 23, Lopez, 56, shared an Instagram video of herself dancing alongside Mika Abdalla, 26, in a recreation of the famous scene from Off Campuswhere Abdalla wore a recreation of the singer's iconic plunging green Versace dress.

“I don't know her personally, but I'm pretty sure that's Jlo,” Abdalla lip-syncs to a voiceover audio of costar Khobe Clarke's line from Off Campus.

“Oh my God, this is me. Now,” Lopez added with her own lip-sync to the words Abdalla's character, Allie Hayes, says after she arrives at a party in the green gown.

The pair then embrace before dancing to Lopez's 2011 hit “Get on the Floor.”

“It's a new Jeneration of party people….🎶” Mom of two Lopez captioned the clip.

Observant fans noted that the singer's low-slung lace-up jeans looked very similar to the pair she wore in the 2001 video for her single “Ain't It Funny,” and later, Lopez confirmed on X that they were in fact the same pair.

“They're the same ones from that video,” the star posted alongside a smiling emoji.

Lopez has previously proved herself to be a fan of Off Campus, which debuted on Prime Video on May 13, and became an instant hit.

The star reposted a steamy clip from the show that sees Abdalla's character, Allie Hayes, wear a recreation of her infamous plunging green dress on her own X feed. She also took a moment to praise Off Campus, writing, "love this shooooww."

Earlier this month, Abdalla explained what went into creating and wearing the “unreal” dress, a recreation of the Versace original.

"It was built from scratch,” she said in a TikTok clip shared by Betches UK. “My first fitting was like, put on this nude leotard and we're going to cut it up and pin all this s--- to you. It was five fittings. It was insane, I was so taped in. I was ready to dance the night away."

"I had a feeling, especially because it happened so early on...," she said. "When we were getting close to the dress being finished and I saw what it was going to [look like], when we were shooting it, I was like, 'huh, I think people are going to like this.' "

Off Campus is now streaming on Prime Video.
