‘She’s kept everything’: Janet Jackson to auction four decades’ worth of costumes

Los Angeles: Janet Jackson is cleaning out her closet, putting her wedding dress and dozens of stage costumes up for auction for the first time.

Julien’s Auctions said the five-time Grammy winner was selling more than 1000 of the costumes she wore on stage, on tour, on red carpets and in music videos over the past four decades.

Jackson has kept the costumes in storage for years.

“Janet has never done an auction before. In fact, we find it very hard to find items at auction, any auction, from Janet Jackson because she’s kept everything,” Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien’s Auctions, said.
