Last week, we were guilty of being one of the media outlets reporting that American pop star Janet Jackson was walking the streets of London with her billionaire Qatari hubby Wissam al Mana in full Islamic attire for the first time ever

Today, it turns out that her outfit was a Y-3 Poncho Sweater, which costs a whopping $1,028. Oops!

You can't blame us for thinking her poncho was a modern-looking abaya, since it covered much of her body, including her hair, and seeing as she's married to a Muslim businessman.

The 50-year-old superstar and her husband are expecting their first child together in the next few months.
