While many
aging pop stars continue to dress provocatively in their 40s and
50s (ahem, Madonna), Janet Jackson isn't one of them. And the reason may
be because she wants to respect her husband's Muslim beliefs -- and
possibly her own.
Jackson, 49, was recently spotted at Paris
Fashion Week with her husband, Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana,
covered in black from head to toe. Star
magazine pointed out that her "drastic change in her choice of attire"
over the last couple of years may be because of her "ultra conservative
and private hubby"The star is currently in the midst of her
"Unbreakable" tour after launching her first album in seven years
earlier this month. She has appeared on stage wearing costumes that
cover up her figure. In the past, she's tended to go for a more sexy
look on stage.
Even though she doesn't always cover her hair (which many Muslim women do), Jackson hasn't been flaunting her legs or cleavage.
So perhaps she is toning things down out of respect for her spouse. According to MSN, Jackson recently converted to Islam -- so her new look may be due to her own beliefs.
MSN cited a report from The Sun,
with a source claiming: ''She feels like she has found a home with her
new religion and has told members of her family, who completely respect
her choice. She has spent a great deal of time studying the religion and
its followers. The days of raunchy dance moves and sexual lyrics are
long gone for Janet.''The report added that Jackson ends her current world tour shows with "Insha Allah," which means "If Allah wills." The singer has not confirmed that she has converted to Islam.
It's a big fashion change for the pop star.
Don't forget, in 2004, she had a "wardrobe malfunction" that exposed
her nipple to the masses during the Super Bowl halftime show.
Jackson was previously married to singer James DeBarge and video director Rene Elizondo
