She became a first-time mother at the age of 50 when she gave birth to son Eissa just nine months ago.
But Janet Jackson, 51, looked to be defying age as she showed off her youthful visage and svelte figure at a party following her sell-out concert in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The Nasty hit-maker, who is embarking on a string of energetic performances around the USA over the next few months, showcased her slender frame in a stylish all-black ensemble.

Looking supremely sophisticated, the mother-of-one opted for a sexy floor length leather-look skirt, which featured a teasing split at the back to flaunt her toned calves.
She paired this with a semi-sheer off the shoulder ruffled black blouse with flared arms and frilled detailing.
The ensemble was cinched with a glam black belt to reveal Janet’s tiny waist.
The veteran songstress completed her stunning look with powerful make up to accentuate her striking facial features, including thick slicks of dark eyeliner and bright crimson lipstick.

She scraped her glossy brunette curls into a high ponytail reminiscent of her Nineties heyday.
Janet was fresh from her sell out performance as part of her State of the World tour at the Hollywood Bowl arena – which has a capacity of 18,000 – in the Southern Californian city.
She’d previously postponed her 36-leg Unbreakable tour to start a family, and fans were concerned State of the World might also be subjected to a delay when Hurricane Harvey caused devastation across areas she was scheduled to perform in.

Ahead of her appearance in the disaster-hit Houston, the popstrel said in a Twitter video: ‘I know there were rumours about whether we would do the show in Houston, or whether we weren’t going to do the show in Houston. I’m here to tell you we’re going to do the show.’
And she added she has set plans in motion so she can help people in need during her visit to the hurricane hit city.
The Pleasure Principle favourite said: ‘We’re going to roll in early because we want to visit some of the shelters.

‘And not just visit the shelters, we also want to do something special for the victims, so I will see you Friday.’
Her brother Tito, 63, recently said his sister loves being a mother to her nine-month-old son Eissa.
He said: ‘She changes all the diapers – she does it all. She’s a real mother. She loves it. I asked her, “How are you getting along with this?” and she said, “Tito, I love it.” She just loves her baby.

Proud: She became a first-time mother at the age of 50 this year, welcoming her son Eissa into the world in January
‘She’s great at being a mother. It’s really great. I guess it sort of makes her feel complete.’
He also admitted that seeing his sibling in her newfound role takes something of an adjustment, as she never showed much of a maternal side in previous years.
Speaking on Loose Women in September, he added: ‘It’s different seeing Janet as a mother, because Janet was always the type of person that usually played with the children usually for maybe five or 10 minutes.’
On the matter of her separation from the Qatari billionaire, Wissam Al Mana, former Jackson 5 singer Tito simply noted: ‘She is going through a divorce at this time. I’m not very privy on her circumstances, but she is going through a divorce.’
