Janet Jackson hit the stage on Sunday night to present fellow iconic singer Mary J. Blige with the Icon Award at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.
The 56-year-old “All for You” hitmaker opted for a head-turning Thom Browne look for the special occasion, sporting a chic black suit complete with a cropped blazer, white shirt, and tie, and a long flared skirt. Jackson, who received the Billboard Icon Award herself in 2018, also wore lace-up boots featuring a block platform sole by the designer and a retro-inspired top hat, which pulled the ensemble together effortlessly.
