Teyana Taylor Pays Homage to Janet Jackson’s 1995 VMAs Outfit

VMAs 2017: They even won the same award

Teyana Taylor arrived at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards in a simple yet chic outfit that was oddly familiar.

The 26-year-old singer wore black pants, a white crop top and rocked a short bob. Well, in 1995, at the same award ceremony, Janet Jackson (Miss Jackson if you’re nasty), also donned black pants, a white crop top and a short hairstyle.

There was only one slight difference between the two: Jackson’s shirt had the number two and “pervert” written on the back, while Taylor’s had the number seven and “underrated” on the back.

What’s even better?

At the ’95 awards, Jackson won the award for Best Choreography in a Video for her “Scream” video with Michael Jackson — the same award that Taylor won for Kanye West’s “Fade.”

This wasn’t the first time that Taylor took a page out of Jackson’s book. Back in 2012, the actress recreated Jackson’s topless 1993 Rolling Stone cover.
