Just a baby! Jackson, the baby of her famous music family, released her self-titled debut album in 1982. One year later, Janet, then a sitcom starlet, was already hitting up awards shows—like the American Music Awards, here—dressed like the perfect ’;80s princess.

Beyonce and Kim Kardashian‘s sheer dresses? Not even close. The “All for You” singer was rocking the peekaboo look (Lanvin, in this case) long before it became the norm. (And it should be noted, she did it with subtlety.)
