Kim Kardashian is channeling Janet Jackson with her latest look!
On Tuesday, June 4, Kardashian, 43, posted a video of herself rocking the exact outfit worn by Jackson, 58, in the 1993 music video for her song “If” as she attended the singer’s concert. The singer previously revealed she had purchased the iconic ensemble at auction.
The SKIMS founder first teased part of her look in an Instagram Stories clip as she filmed herself walking in black flared pants with fringing on the sides and black boots indoors.
“Can you guys tell where I’m going tonight?” Kardashian asked her followers. “I bet you will never guess …”
She then panned out to reveal her full look in a another clip where she wore a black crop top with white boning across the chest and the matching lace-up pants as Jackson’s song “If” played.
“I’m spamming tonight so unless you wanna see so much @janetjackson content I suggest you stay off my page,” Kardashian excitedly wrote in the caption.
While heading to the concert in Palm Springs, Calif., Kardashian continued to film her look in the car, where she showed off her white, boned choker, which was also worn by Jackson in the “If” music video.
In 2021, Kardashian revealed she bought Jackson’s music video outfit in an auction in celebration of the singer’s 55th birthday. Julian’s Auctions later confirmed in a tweet that The Kardashians star paid $25,000 for the custom look.
“For @janetjackson’s bday bc I’m such a fan I can’t believe I won this on @juliens_auctions,” Kardashian posted on Instagram Stories at the time.
