The outfit was one of several pieces snatched up during the weekend-long Iconic Treasures from the Legendary Career and Life of Janet Jackson auction. Jackson's costume from the 1995 video for her "Scream" collboration with brother Michael Jackson sold for $125,000, but Julien's did not identify the buyer.
Proceeds from the auction will go to Compassion International, a child advocacy organization.
Jackson celebrated her 55th birthday on Sunday.
