Janet Jackson’s Million Dollar Wardrobe
Janet Jackson’s Scream Video Outfit Recently Sold For 6 Figures
Sunday was Janet Jackson’s 55 birthday! She celebrated in a huge way. The superstar auctioned off over 1,000 items from her iconic collection including her infamous ‘Scream’ video outfit. This outfit sold for over $125,000. The auction is estimated to bring in over $2 million dollars with a portion going to Compassion International, which helps release children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty around the world. Janet is not only a musical icon she’s a fashion icon too!
Here’s Nikki Vaughn’s top 5 Janet Jackson music video looks. What’s yours?
‘All For You’
I love two things about Ms. Jackson when it comes to this video, her smile, and her black leather jacket! She alternates between a couple of tops including a multi-colored halter top, one white midriff top, and a cut-up blacktop over a sequin bra.
‘Rhythm Nation’
Of course, it’s on the list! With moves like her brother Michael Jackson. Janet leads a group of men and women in dance, for social justice decked out in black unisex military outfit, moving as one. The purpose behind the overall look for the video was to unite voices in the fight for gender and racial equality. It is a fight we are still battling today’s political climate. To this day, the uniforms in ‘Rhythm Nation’ are one of her most memorable looks.
‘Scream’
This look made a big statement in pop culture. Not only was this the first video to feature Michael and Janet together which they had never done a music video before, but it was also the first video of Janet Jackson in her most daring look. A very sexy and artsy look for the ’90s.
‘What’s It Gonna Be’
Who could forget the music video, known as one the most expensive videos in history, that featured Janet Jackson looking like a killer dominatrix, dressed in indigo tight leather and a hairstyle that’s similar to Busta Rhymes. I love how her outfit isn’t overexposed but rather a controlled sexy look while still being able to command a presence.
‘Love Will Never Do (Without You)’
Janet’s 1989 video for “Love Will Never Do (Without You)” would have to be one of her most toned-down looks but no one can be mad at her for it because she STILL looks beautiful. Wearing only a black spaghetti strap crop top and some high-waisted jeans, her style looks fresh and natural.
More To Come
With each of her outfits always embodying her work, she’s truly an icon. We’re sure to see more of her fabulous wardrobe in the Janet Jackson documentary coming soon. It’s rumored that it may cover her infamous wardrobe malfunction in a 2-night series titled ‘JANET’, on A&E scheduled to release in 2022. Check-in with Nikki Vaughn every weekday from 10 am – 3 pm.
