For the first time in 12 years, Janet Jackson showed up at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala and her red carpet moment didn’t disappoint. Janet’s all-black leather ensemble was clearly a scene-stealer.

Janet put her best leather boot forward when she graced the annual event at the Beverly Hilton on Saturday. She made sure she called attention with her edgy look amid other big stars that descended that day.

BOLD IN BLACK

The Grammy Award winner wore a long leather coat by Alexander Wang. It showcased her cleavage as well as her tiny waist. A matching leather headband styled like a turban framed the singer’s face and kept her elaborate updo in place.

Janet opted to keep her accessories to a minimum wearing only a delicate gold bracelet that could hardly be noticed amid her bold black look. Even her nails were painted black. She stood tall wearing black ankle boots.

A QUEEN AMONG OTHER STARS

Fans agree Janet rocked her look when they threw in their comments in Just Jared’s Instagram post featuring her red carpet appearance. “Finally the Queen is back!” one wrote.

Photos from the celebration featured by Daily Mail revealed the singer mingling with the biggest names in the music industry including Usher, Jimmy Jam, singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, and the night’s Salute to Industry Icons awardee, Diddy.
