Love Will Never Do Without You! Ah, it looks like another bit of 90’s style nostalgia is coming back by popular demand. For a recent photo shoot for fashion brand and website, Story and Rain, model Jasmine Sanders Channels Janet Jackson. Moreover, if this sexy iconic look is the way of the future count us in!

Jasmine Sanders Channels Janet Jackson For Story and Rain Photoshoot

As they say what’s old is new again. The Story and Rain shoot had Janet Jackson down with a capital “T.” Black crop top, tight denim jeans and the infamous black hairband updo. All that was missing was the super hot male models in their skivvies.

Nonetheless, the Internet never fails to weigh in on any hot topic especially when it comes to fashion and hair! We gathered a few stylish thoughts across platforms proving that we weren’t the only ones seeing Ms. Jackson, because we’re nasty!

“Gorg- total Janet Jackson, “Love will never do without you” moment.”

“Janet Jackson.”

“Cool.”

“Channeling Janet!”

“Twins.”

“Janet Jackson vibes!! Love it.”

“Beautiful.”

“Looking flawless as per usual, your hair is just fantastic.”

“Gorgeous.”

“Isssaaaa babe.”

“Sexy pie.”

“Reminds me of the Janet Jackson video. This is fire!”

Hair Notes: Jasmine Sanders sassy hairstyle could not have been created without a rockstar celebrity hairstylist at the helm. Sanders’ Janet hair was slayed by the one and only, Ted Gibson. Gibson is behind some of the famous hair looks seen on Lupita Nyong’o, Cameron Dias, Tessa Thompson, Ariana Grande, Naomie Harris and Angelina Jolie just to name a few.

All in all, we are loving this shoot which was lensed by Mike Rosenthal. Can’t wait to see the official photos!

Nevertheless, RiRi is no stranger when it comes to wearing the Nili Lotan label. Back in her dreadlock days she sported the “Velvet Cami.” At the time Rihanna was partying it up at the Alexander Wang x Beats bash.
