Janet Jackson Steps Out in Italy - Shopping For Designer Shoes

Janet Jackson has become like the blue moon, you only see her once a year or less, and this means it's always news whenever she is spotted. The 48-year-old singer stepped out in Milan, Italy today - for the first time in four months - and was photographed shopping at Giuseppe Zanotti Design, probably for designer shoes.

She was wearing a long coat to keep warm in the chilly weather and the rest of her all-black ensemble included a beanie hat, platform booties and loose-fitting cropped pants. Her hair was braided into a side ponytail.
