It is no secret that Michael Jackson and Diana Ross were great friends and coming from the same Label, Motown, the both superstars performed multiple times together.
During her CBS special concert in March 1981, she performed a series of concerts called “Diana” where she performed with special guests.
One of them was with Michael Jackson and they both performed “Rock With You” in a matching outfits, a white two-piece suit with a black sequined top
During a digital interview with Naomi Campbell for her youtube series “No Filter with Naomi”, Diana Ross’ daughter Tracee Ellis, revealed that her mom kept the outfit in the garage with other legendary outfits.
She said “She doesn’t sometimes understand the importance of them. It’s hilarious, I was out in the garage at one point, and I came back in the house with this shirt and I was like, ‘Mom! What is [this]?! What?! Why isn’t this in a case? This could pay for college!’”
Ellis Ross tried to get her mother to understand the kind of history she has stored away, and eventually took the sequined top for herself. “It’s in my house now,” she chuckled. She actually wore the outfit for the American Music Awards 2017.
Naomi also revealed she kept her outfit she wore for the “In The Closet” Short film with Michael Jackson.
