Stylist Claims Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl Halftime ‘Nip Slip’ Was Intentional

The Super Bowl halftime show is quite possibly one of the biggest spectacles in the music industry.  The Super Bowl is easily the most watched event each and every year, and the casual fans tune in to see the halftime show. The most infamous halftime show to date is still the Justin Timberlake/Janet Jackson show back in 2004. It featured the now notorious nip slip, which was reported as a total accident. That’s why they called it a wardrobe malfunction.

But the person in charge of styling Janet Jackson is now coming forward, claiming it had nothing to do with a wardrobe malfunction, instead blaming the incident squarely on Justin Timberlake’s shoulders.  Timberlake recently apologized to Janet for his part in the halftime show.

Now it appears it was all set up.

Via Page Six:

“The stylist who prepped Janet Jackson’s look for her infamous 2004 Super Bowl appearance with Justin Timberlake tells Page Six that Timberlake pushed for the “wardrobe malfunction” in an attempt to outdo Britney Spears, Madonna and Christina Aguilera, who had wowed the world months earlier by scandalously kissing at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Superstylist Wayne Scot Lukas told us that Timberlake “insisted on doing something bigger than their performance. He wanted a reveal.”

Scot Lukas told us that the original concept was for Jackson to be in a pearl G-string inspired by one that Kim Cattrall had worn in an episode of “Sex and the City.”

“Janet was going to be in a Rocha dress, and [Justin] was going to step on the back of her dress to reveal her butt in this pearl G-string,” he told us. But “the outfit changed a couple of days before, and you saw the magic.”

Of course, in the end Timberlake tore off part of her top at the end of their performance, briefly revealing Jackson’s breast. Timberlake famously labeled the incident a “wardrobe malfunction.””

Wouldn’t put it past Timberlake to try to one up Brittney,  we know he did some damage to her following their breakup.

All these years later and people are still talking about nipple gate. . .

Amazing.
