Oh, Janet Jackson.

Janet Jackson is obsessedesses with showing the world her breastesses.

The saddest part is that if she'd only worn a simple camisole beneath this dress (I'm thinking a Yummie Tummie tank could have worked wonders), she would have looked smashing.

NIPPLE JEWELRY. WHO KNEW?

Of course, Jan Jan is hardly the first celebrity to expose her bra for public consumption, and I doubt she'll be the last, but I'm personally horrified by this look. What about you?

Would you ever wear your bra as outerwear? What do you think of Janet's outfit?
