BEVERLY HILLS, CA — The prices that some important Janet Jackson memorabilia fetched over the weekend at a Beverly Hills auction might make you “scream.”
The singer’s iconic outfit in the 1996 movie “Scream” - consisting of cone-textured long sleeve-shirt, black leather pants, and black leather boots - fetched $125,000 Saturday at “Iconic Treasures From the Legendary Career and Life of Janet Jackson,” a three-day online auction held in honor of Jackson’s 55th birthday.
