We never get tired of seeing Janet Jackson work a photo, and at this point in her career she’s got countless magazine covers under her belt. Still, there is something particularly striking about her December cover of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia.
Janet was styled by Sally Matthews in a emerald-colored, long sleeved turtleneck dress, complete with lace button detailing and a satin pattern on the bust (because you know Ms. Jackson likes to accentuate that asset). Her beauty look—tousled hair, a dramatic smoky eye and nude lip—add the perfect finishing touch to play up the whimsical outfit without overwhelming it.
If anyone could pull off such a daring dress it’s Janet! This superstar was snapped by photographer Alan Gelati for the popping cover shoot while visiting the Middle East on her current Number Ones: Up Close, & Personal tour.
