(Cover) - EN Star Style - Janet Jackson is a tomboy, but always accessories her T-shirt and jeans with high heels.

The singer-and-actress loves fashion, and is a regular on the front row of runway shows. Although she enjoys looking at the latest trends Janet doesnt usually wear them, as comfort is key when it comes to her style.

Are you kidding me? I like T-shirt and jeans, Im such a tomboy still, that will forever be me. T-shirt and jeans and heels. I have a lot of designers that I absolutely love, my favourites are McQueen, Lanvin, Galliano, she said. If you're not careful, you can start looking like everyone else. So it's really about your style or expressing who you are, as opposed to 'Oh, this is what's in right now.' Or else it will look cookie cutter.

Janets self help book True You comes out in January, and details her struggle with body image and self esteem. She hopes it will appeal to people of all ages, and help women accept their flaws.

The 44-year-old developed at a young age so was often teased about her shape as a youngster, and revealed she only began to feel comfortable in her skin when she began dating her now ex-boyfriend Jermaine Dupri.

People always ask me about the weight gain and the weight loss, what the workout regime was, about the nutrition. So instead of writing about that I had to get right down to the bottom, so I went back to my childhood where it first stemmed from, she told Extra.

My life didnt change until I decided to open up and talk about it. It stuck with me until nine years ago. What changed was my relationship with Jermaine. Up until that point I would still put on a pair of pants and if my butt looked too big, or its size... I dont want the pair of pants. As much as I love them. If they made it look smaller, then OK I would take these. (C) Cover Media
