Apart from her musical career, Janet has caused public discussion with her clothing. On many of her performances, she wore fetish-related and latex outfits.

On September 16, 1993, she appeared on the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine with her breasts only covered by the hands of her then-husband René Elizondo. This photo has become one of the best-known handbra shots in non-adult photography.

On February 1, 2004, Janet performed together with Justin Timberlake at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show. Timberlake was supposed to pull away the cup of her bustier and leave the red bra on, but tore away both. This boob slip, sometimes referred to as Nipplegate, led to a widespread debate on perceived "indecency" in broadcasting and made the term "wardrobe malfunction" popular. The word was even nominated word of the year in 2005.

As of March 2024, she has amassed 7.6 million followers on Instagram, 1.6 million followers on TikTok and 1.28 million subscribers on her YouTube platform.
