Remember Janet Jackson’s 'Scream' video with Michael Jackson? Her ensembles from it sold for $125K

Would you pay $125K for worn clothes? Some people would.

The ensembles Janet Jackson wore in the 'Scream' music video opposite her brother Michael Jackson are among the items up for bid in a three-day auction.

Julien’s Auctions says her black circular bubble textured fabric long-sleeve shirt, black patent leather pants and black patent leather over-the-ankle boots sold for $125,000 Saturday. The auction called “Iconic Treasures From the Legendary Career and Life of Janet Jackson” was held until Sunday, the singer’s 55th birthday.

Janet partnered with Juilen’s Auctions to sell more than 1,000 items from her career and personal treasures. The auction was held live in Beverly Hills, California, and shown on Julien’s website.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Compassion International, an organisation that helps children escape from poverty.

Janet's floor-length metallic silver coat with lambskin shearling lining, cuffs and collar, designed by Helen Storey, was bought for $50,000. Her silver string bikini and a pair of matching pants worn underneath the coat by Janet sold for $25,600.
