Janet Jackson can dress up to the max – but she can also shine in a dressed-up look!
Last week, the “Rhythm Nation” singer, 57, braved London’s chilly temperatures in a cozy – but characteristically chic – ensemble.
For a rare outing, Jackson, who was spotted chatting on the phone and driving her Range Rover, showed off her street style chops by letting texture – not color – do the talking in an all-monochromatic cut.

The performer’s base layer was a simple gray sweatshirt, over which she pulled on a black bomber-style puffer jacket. She also wore glasses with thick, black frames, and kept warm in a loose black cap.
She teamed gray and black together with a star-patterned and fringed scarf, but the real star of the show was her boots – a pair of chunky platform boots.
For Jackson, sweatpants, scarves and thick glasses are integral to her comfortable casual style. But when she hits the stage or steps out at a star-studded event, she knows how to look stylish—anytime, anywhere.
Last fall, the musician made a rare public appearance in style at New York Fashion Week.

For her inaugural NYFW look, which she wore to Christian Siriano’s 15th anniversary show in September, the hitmaker swapped comfortable fabrics for a skin-tight, wet leather combo.
For a special show, the “Scream” singer rocked the designer from head to toe. She wore a fitted turtleneck dress, a floor-length raincoat and a pair of thigh-high boots, all in the same stunning shade of bright orange.
To complete the ensemble designed by Siriano with mesh leggings and gold, chunky jewelry. On the beauty front, the singer pulled her locks back into a sleek high ponytail and wore shimmery, bronze makeup.
