The dress was later emulated by Ellen DeGeneres at the 53rd Primetime Emmy Awards.[10][11] Kevin James wore a version of it at the 2002 People's Choice Awards. In 2007, the gown was proposed to take part in the year's Oscar fashion show, highlighting the signature gowns from the red carpets of the Oscars from previous years. However, according to Oscar producer Laura Ziskin, Björk's team refused to let the dress take part.[12]
In 2006, at the 78th Academy Awards, host Jon Stewart remarked "Björk couldn't be here tonight...She was trying on her Oscar dress and Dick Cheney shot her." in a reference to the Dick Cheney hunting incident.
The dress was parodied in the 2004 comedy film White Chicks and the 2005 comedy film My Big Fat Independent Movie, as well as an episode of Fairly Odd Parents, Kim Possible and an episode of Hannah Montana, where the title character is seen wearing it to a gala event. The dress was also parodied on an episode of Sonny with a Chance where a character wears the dress to an awards show. It was also parodied in one sketch from MADtv when the character named Mrs. Swan portrayed by actress Alex Borstein goes on a date using the same dress as Björk.[13] The dress appears also in the videoclip of Nelly Furtado "Bajo otra luz" while Nelly dances wearing a copy of the dress. In the Season 3 episode of comedy cartoon Archer, "Space Race", Cheryl wears a costume that closely resembles Björk's dress.
