Janet Jackson is ALWAYS going to TURN it UP on stage and TURN OUT a look!
Janet Jackson received the Icon Award at the Dancers Against Cancer’s 2025 Gala of the Stars on Tuesday wearing Louboutin’s Condora boots this past Tuesday.
The black calf leather boots are the French luxury footwear brand’s Condora Botta. The style is part of the brand’s Condora collection, which features pumps, slingbacks, sandals, booties and more. The singer’s sleek knee-high boot features a zip fastening on the inner side of the leg.
The boot has a sharp pointed toe like a bird’s beak. It stands tall on an 85mm slanted heel, the same heel found on all the Condora shoe designs. Jackson’s pair retails for $1,995 on the Louboutin website. The style is also available in a thigh-high boot version, the Condora Botta Alta, with a heel measuring 100mm, and retails for $2,495.
Liza Minnelli returned to the 2025 Gala of the Stars to present the ICON Award to global superstar Janet Jackson at the annual benefit for Dancers Against Cancer (DAC), this past Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at The Beverly Hilton.
The Academy Award–winning legend, who received the event’s 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award, will honor Jackson during an evening celebrating artistry, resilience, and community within the dance world. Hosted by Maks Chmerkovskiy, the black-tie gala will feature live performances, tributes, and appearances from artists across film, television, and stage.
Australian performer BP Major, Minnelli’s artistic director and choreographer, will produce the segment honoring Jackson. Major recently directed Minnelli’s appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race and at last year’s Industry Dance Awards, where Minnelli was presented with the same award now being conferred to Jackson.
“Having Liza return for this year’s Gala of the Stars is an absolute honor,” said Noah Lands, Founder and Executive Producer of Gala of the Stars and Dancers Against Cancer. “Her artistry and resilience embody everything this event stands for. To have her present the ICON Award to Janet Jackson—another powerhouse who has inspired generations—is nothing short of magical.”
