Janet Jackson‘s futuristic outfit from the “Scream” music video she shot with her brother Michael Jackson has sold at auction for $125,000.
The outfit was part of a three day Julien’s Auctions event, titled “Iconic Treasures From the legendary Career and Life of Janet Jackson,” which ended on the superstar’s 55th birthday, May 16.
Also going under the hammer were the singer’s floor-length silver coat, her jacket from the 1990 Rhythm Nation Tour, plus 1814 cap and black satin gloves, which fetched over $81,000, a pair of engraved earrings Oprah Winfrey presented to Janet at Oprah Winfrey’s Legends Ball in 2005.
A bidder dropped $18,750 for the black ensemble Janet wore in her music video for “When I Think Of You” (right). And Janet’s outfit worn in her “Love Will Never Do” music video (left) brought in $25,000.
Kim Kardashian bid $25,000 for Janet’s iconic outfit from her “If” music video.
Kim revealed she was the mystery buyer of the auction item via social media on Sunday, writing: “Happy birthday queen! For @janetjackson’s bday bc I’m such a fan I can’t believe I won this on juliens_auctions.”
Janet replied to Kim, adding: “Thank u so much @kimkardashian! I hope ‘IF’ gives u as much pleasure as it did me.”
The items were among a thousand Jackson handed over to the auction house to sell.
