May 17, 2021:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Despite being an A-lister herself, Kim Kardashian<\/a> is a super fangirl, and she doesn’t hold back with letting fans know that on social media. The\u00a0<\/span>Keeping Up with the Kardashians\u00a0<\/span><\/em>star frequently takes to her Instagram Story and Twitter to express her love for\u00a0<\/span>TV show<\/span>s<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(read: Bridgerton<\/em>), and extraordinary fashion finds. Likewise, she’s big into purchasing memorabilia and documenting the experience for her 221 million Instagram followers.

Most recently, the\u00a0<\/span>KKW mogul<\/span><\/a>\u00a0purchased one of Janet Jackson’s most iconic outfits for $25,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Jackson partnered with Beverly Hills-based\u00a0<\/span>Julien’s Auctions<\/span><\/a> on a three-day auction entitled “Iconic Treasures from the Legendary Career and Life of Janet Jackson.” A portion of the auction’s proceeds benefitted Compassion International, a nonprofit organization focused on providing humanitarian aid for children living below the poverty line. In honor of the “Rhythm Nation” singer’s 55th birthday on Sunday, May 16, Kardashian purchased a custom-made cropped suede top with artificial bone detailing and a pair of black pants with laces up the front. These pieces make up Jackson’s very outfit in her “If” music video from 1993.<\/span><\/p>\n
