JoJo has revealed her original outfit choice for the MTV Video Music Awards “literally broke and disintegrated”.
JoJo had to wear a “busty” outfit to the MTV Video Music Awards after her original choice “disintegrated”.
The 35-year-old pop star, whose real name is Joanna Levesque, stepped out at the VMAs on Sunday (27.09.26) in a sparkling black bra and a matching skirt, but she has revealed that wasn’t her plan.
She told PEOPLE magazine: “It was supposed to be a different outfit. However… the other outfit literally broke and disintegrated, so I was like, ‘Oops!’
“Five minutes before we get in the car, we’re like, ‘Okay, let’s pull out the other one that we love.’
“Honestly, it reminds me of like, menswear … like Aaliyah if I had the choker. It’s like tuxedo, playing on some different things. Thankfully I love it, so it’s not a compromise.”
JoJo insisted that she wasn’t bothered by the revealing nature of her second choice.
She added: “I feel a little busty, but that’s alright! It’s what I got.”
The Leave (Get Out) hitmaker previously opened up on her style, and explained that she never felt the need to shun her days as a teenage star just to make a point.
Back in 2014, she told Attitude magazine: “I just want to do what’s comfortable for me. And honestly in my personal life, I am very sexual, so I don’t feel a great need to demonstrate that in the way I represent myself!
“I feel sexy with clothes on, in front of you, you know? I don’t feel like I need to eye-f*** everybody to get them to buy my records. [laughs]
“It’s not just what I feel comfortable doing. I’m a singer, I’m a writer, I’m an artist.”
JoJo noted that her private life is her own, and she didn’t feel the need to “prove that she’s an adult”.
She added: “What I do in my personal time? I’m a freaky b****, but I don’t want to necessarily share that with everybody! I don’t feel like I need to put baby oil on my t*** to prove that I’m an adult.
“I’m grown, and I don’t feel like I need to prove that to anybody. There’s your sound-bite right there!”
