Kim Kardashian took to Instagram on Monday to share photos from last week’s Janet Jackson concert in Palm Desert, where she wore the music artist’s outfit from her 1993 If music video.
The 43-year-old billionaire engaged her 362 million followers as she posted numerous outtakes from the night and captioned Janet lyrics: ‘that’s the way love goes.’
Kim was joined by younger sister Khloe Kardashian, 39, and their mom Kris Jenner, 68, in some of the snapshots.
The SKIMS founder bared her taut tummy in the sexy black look, which included a shrunken cropped vest and matching suede, fringed trousers.
It comes after critics online slammed the mother-of-four for the extravagant purchase, which cost her $25K at a 2021 auction.

Kim struck her go-to pose: a peace sign and kissy face
Upon revealing that she was attending Jackson’s concert in the archival look, social media users flocked to X to condemn her choice.
‘Buying historical pieces just for the kick of it, UGH!’ one complained while someone else said the bombshell was acting ‘cringe.’
Another asked: ‘Why the hell does she have a lot of the Jackson’s clothes? Why them??’
There was also a disgruntled user who asked if the mogul was going to damage the garments like she ‘ruined Marilyn Monroe’s dress’ at the 2022 Met Gala (the owner of the gown said in a statement that the reality star ‘did not, in any way, damage the garment).
Despite angry reactions from Janet Jackson fans, the living legend gave Kim her blessing at the time she scored the one-of-a-kind outfit.
Back in May 2021 Kim uploaded a photo of Janet in the If video and gushed, ‘For @janetjackson’s bday bc I’m such a fan I can’t believe I won this outfit on @jules_auctions.’
The songstress reposted it and added, ‘Thank u so much @kimkardashian I hope ‘IF’ gives u as much pleasure as it did me,’ along with three kiss emoji.
Jules Auctions also shared the news of Kim’s purchase on X at the time, which was then called Twitter.

The tweet had a photo of the sexy getup on a mannequin.
There was an accompanying note that read: ‘SOLD for $25,000!
‘A custom-made top with a pair of black pants, both worn by Janet Jackson in her 1993 award-winning “If” music video.
‘Sold in our “Iconic Treasures from the Legendary Career and Life of Janet Jackson” auction at JuliensLive.com! w/ @JanetJackson.’
The low-rise trousers feature fringe going down the sides of the legs.
And the sleek, cropped vest boasts buttons going up the front, along with thin, white shells sewn onto either side.
Kim found the perfect complementary choker with coordinating shells to wear to the show.

Kim is known for her showstopping fashion and she loves to reference historic sartorial moments.
She shocked fans and ruffled feathers in 2022 when she wore the custom-made champagne-colored gown Monroe famously wore in 1962 — when she serenaded then-president John F. Kennedy — to the Met Gala.
Kardashian has also looked to stars like Cher, Aaliyah, and Sophia Loren for fashion cues in the past.
