Janet Jackson, from her debut solo self-titled album in 1982 to
her modern masterpiece Unbreakable in 2015, has
continued to play a integral role in the
rolodex of pop culture. So much so, that Lifetime has picked up
her story in a documentary series titled JANET JACKSON.which will debut on
January 8, 2022.
Not only does she continue to shape the world of music and
entertainment, but Jackson has also been quite the fashion star
throughout her career. Going from power-suits and statement
accessories in the 1980s/90s to the world of simple gowns in the
contemporary era, she has made it a point to stay relevant and
remain a name that is on everyone’s lips.
Red carpet aside, this list would be incomplete if we didn’t
take into consideration some of Jackson’s best on-stage looks as
well. Often times inspired by sporty aesthetics and armor, Jackson
is a warrior on-stage, killing it with every performance and
certainly
causing controversy in the process, never a dull moment when
Ms. Jackson comes to the stage.
GRAZIA, in celebration of Jackson and her upcoming documentary,
have compiled what we believe to be her best outfits over the
years.
