Cop a gander at pop icon Janet Jackson!
As we reported here, the 52-year-old hitmaker was announced to be this year’s recipient of the “Rock Star Award” at the 2018 BET ‘Black Girls Rock’ ceremony – a feat set to honor her contributions as a “phenomenal woman” in music and Pop culture.
Looking every bit of deserving of the honor as she rocked a Christian Siriano gown at the show’s red carpet and on stage, tuck in below to see some sizzling snaps of the diva ahead of the Queen Latifah-hosted event’s airing on September 9:
Filmed in Newark, New Jersey at NJPAC, keep it locked to That Grape Juice for more from the show once it airs on BET in September!

Wow greatnesses
Janet looks great. I can tell that she picked up a couple pounds. Might be time to call the personal trainer again. I don’t want my girl to end up plump like Rasputia lol. She looks beautiful here. I’m feeling the hair but not with that beautiful gown. I want to see her wear long weaves and wigs again sans the ponytail extension.
Also, I hope Janet will not be seething when she finds out Normani will be playing her in that Bobby Brown movie next month and her brother MJ is also being depicted in the tv movie / miniseries:

I still don’t understand why BET would run with that story since Janet has never addressed it and Bobby’s memory / recollection of events is clouded by years of crack abuse and other substance abuse coupled with old age.
Janet not picking up weight
Janet looks really go tbh. This is giving me the Janet/velvet rope era. She looks amazing. I know shes snatched under that gown shes letting us know real quick like yall better be ready.
Chiiiiiiiiiile she has an extra side cheek? I’ve never seen that on another person before. She’s holding a lot of water weight and or just eating her feelings away…literally looks like an air bag on her cheek
She just lost her dad… she’s going through a divorce… and a custody battle plus on tour… and raising a 1 year old child.. do you expect her to be “all for you “ snatched at all times? She looks amazing
把他妈的搞定了
Cici you every bit of thirsty in that pic..lol
JANET!
That side pic though. It doesn’t look right. Plastic Surgery didn’t go correct I guess.
Just a bad photo. Go on Getty images or other sites and there are plenty of side pics and it is not there. Perhaps she was moving when the pic was taken.
Congrats to Janet! I’m not sure how I feel about the look overall, though. BUT I’m always glad to see her trying different, yet appropriate, looks…
Yall are used to the same look for 20 years from ur favs so we dont Expect u to get it.. janet always pushes the envelope artistically
Ciara is the most relevant flop in history…..
Are they back on the charts yet?
Janet always on the charts
Yes, Janet looks great! But I can’t get over the thought; her dress symbolizes slavery and bondage, liken to a bird canged in a hanging bird chage.
Excuse the typo?
Ciara and Janet both look great! I’m really loving Janet’s dress. Impeccable.
