‘Now That’s a Look’: Janet Jackson Makes 60 Look Good In Daring New Photos That Have Fans Stuck

Janet Jackson is glowing and everyone sees it.

​Throughout her career, the singer, dancer, and actress has maintained a bold aesthetic, including piercings, hair dye, cropped shirts, and even military-inspired fashion.

Generations of fans often imitate Jackson’s style but never duplicate it.

Between long and curls styles to dramatic cuts like pixie, one thing that can’t be denied is Jackson’s youthful glow.

​On Oct. 22, Jackson attended a Beverly Hills charity event called The Dancers Against Cancer Gala of the Stars, where her good looks stole the show.

She attended to present her longtime friend and rapper Missy Elliott with the Icon award.

The gala aims to raise funds to provide financial assistance to dancers and choreographers, whose families have been impacted by cancer.

Janet stunned on the Beverly Hilton red carpet wearing a black, long-sleeved dress with a deep neck plunge. Her hair was styled in a short brown combover with blonde highlights.

She wore a Christian Siriano gown. “When JANET calls you make her a fabulous lace gown duh!! @janetjackson in Siriano tonight looking snatched!”

​Additionally, her makeup had a bronze glow. At one point, the 60-year-old took pictures sandwiched in between Queen Latifah, 56, and Elliott, 55.

​The unknown person filming the trio yelled out, “Beautiful group,” seconds before the recording ended.

On her own page, Jackson posted one image and one video, adding just a kissing emoji in the caption. Fans gushed about her look in the comments.

​One person said, “I think this has to be one of my favorite looks of yours this year.”

​Another fan complimenting her wrote, “Wow!! now THAT’S a look!” A third person typed, “There’s something about @janetjackson beauty that hit different! I am literally stunned!.”

​A fourth person singing her praises said, “Janet U are an absolute stunner!!! obsessed with all these beautiful looks and this hair… i want to stay in this janet era for awhile!!!”

​In the caption, Jackson also tagged everyone on her glam team that helped pull the look together. Suzette Boozer collaborated with Ashanti Lation on styling her hair, while Dominic Ackah-Amihere did the coloring.

​The “Rhythm Nation” singer debuted this new bob style when she performed at the “F1 Singapore Grand Prix” on Oct. 11.

​Other celebrities who performed that night were Lana Del Rey, The Killers, JJ Lin, and Zara Larsson.

​Her hair stood out against the dark denim fit that she wore. But fans got a better look of the hair when she shared a profile image with good lighting.

​As it turns out, Jackson even had some input on how the hair came out.

​Lation posted a video of Jackson talking about her hair. She said, “Because to me what makes it nice are the pieces.” The video jumped to Jackson continuing with her thoughts and saying, “It needs to have those pieces.”

​The pieces she seems to be referring to are the layered parts of the hair that gave the bob a feathered, edgy look versus being all the same length.

​Ashanti described the hair as “The Layered Razor-cut Bob” in the caption, and said they named the look “The Janet Cut.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
