Pop star Janet Jackson has been revealed as the new face of fur company ‘BlackGlama’ joining the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Ross.
The ‘Rhythm Nation’ singer will be the face for the range’s ‘What Becomes a Legend Most?’ campaign. The pop star is following in the footsteps of Diana Ross, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor who have previously been the face of the company.
The adverts will hit the print press and a billboard in Times Square in New York in September.
Joe Morelli CEO of BlackGlama said: “Janet is an icon in the world of music and entertainment, a true legend. She represents everything that this storied campaign embodies. Janet is to entertainment what BlackGlama is to luxury.”
The superstar told Essence magazine that she feels more confident aged 44 than she ever has done before.
She said: “There comes a time when you don’t give an ‘F’ what people say or think. You just do your thing because it’s finally about you and not in a selfish way but in a great way.”

ESSENCE.COM: You lived every 80s baby’s dream—to work with Michael Jackson. How did you end up in that famous 1983 Pepsi commercial?
RIBEIRO: It was like a dream come true for a young performer. As a 12-year-old kid, I was a huge fan of Michael. Michael’s choreographer was directing a commercial I was in and saw me playing around on the set doing the dance and they gave me that opportunity. I met Michael in rehearsal. It was really cool to work with him. My dad and I hung out with him many times after that, but that was the first time I met him.
ESSENCE.COM: Wow! Handpicked to dance with Michael Jackson…
RIBEIRO: I’m certainly not a professional. I’m one of those people who, if I look at someone doing it, I can mimic it really well, which is what I did with Michael. I actually couldn’t do “Dancing with the Stars” because they said I have so much experience, which I really don’t because I never trained professionally. It’s just very interesting to me that I’m almost known for being a dancer and I was never a real dancer.
