In a recent interview, Janet Jackson opened up about a cringe-worthy moment she experienced during a performance in front of none other than Queen Elizabeth herself. The 58-year-old music legend, known for her iconic fashion moments, recalled an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that occurred while performing her hit song "Rhythm Nation" at the Royal Variety show in 1989.
Janet explained that she was wearing a striking military-style outfit, which she had also worn to her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony the previous year. She had always been inspired by the 1966 film adaptation of Ray Bradbury's book Fahrenheit 451, and enlisted the help of her brothers to find someone to create the intricate design. That's when she met Bill Whitten, who did a fantastic job bringing her vision to life.
However, during her performance for the Queen, Janet had a sudden realization that her pants had split at the "booty crack" as she squatted down. She couldn't believe it had happened and could feel a cool breeze on her backside. In a moment of panic, she had to quickly change the choreography to make sure she didn't accidentally expose herself to the Queen.
Laughing as she recounted the incident, Janet admitted that she never turned her back to the Queen during her performance, which was against the original choreography. She didn't want to risk giving her a cheeky show. Despite the awkward mishap, Janet continued to perform flawlessly and no one, including the Queen, seemed to notice the wardrobe malfunction.
But this wasn't the first time Janet had faced a wardrobe malfunction in front of the world. Over a decade later, she experienced a much more significant and controversial one during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2004 with Justin Timberlake. The incident caused a global backlash, with many blaming Janet for the incident and not Justin.
However, in 2021, Justin finally apologized for his actions and his treatment of both Janet and Britney Spears in the past. He acknowledged that he had "fallen short" in those moments and had benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism. Janet graciously accepted his apology, and they have since reconciled.
Despite the wardrobe malfunctions and controversies, Janet remains a music icon and a fashion icon. Her Rhythm Nation outfit will forever be remembered as one of her most daring and iconic fashion statements, even if it did cause a little embarrassment in front of royalty.
