Janet Jackson has a platinum career and a golden sense of style. The Billboard Music Awards 2018 Icon honoree sparkled from head to toe in the hue today when she accepted her trophy during the ceremony held in Las Vegas.

Jackson took to the stage to entertain the crowd with a medley of her hits in a sweater dress covered in sequins with matching over-the-knee sneaker boots.

The slick stompers featured laces from top to bottom and belt embellishments up the thigh. With comfort and stage moves in mind, the boots were constructed with a white rubber midsole. She completed the outfit with nude fishnets and tribal-inspired necklaces and bracelets.
