The year was 1997. People everywhere fell in love with Jack Dawson, Teletubbies invaded the Earth, and Missy Elliott dropped her debut album, Supa Dupa Fly — and changed the rap game as we know it.
The album gifted us with songs such as "Sock It 2 Me" with Da Brat and "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)," which included that LEGENDARY inflatable black suit.
Fast-forward to today. Missy is still a bona fide superstar and proved to us all that she literally doesn't age by re-creating the very album cover that started it all.
WOW🤩😱 This Halloween I decided to RECREATE my 1st album cover from 22 YEARS AGO one of these pictures I took ONLY 3 DAYS AGO the other was 22 YEARS AGO CAN YALL TELL THE DIFFERENCE??👇🏾
Just so you can really see it, here's a high-quality version of the original 1997 cover again.
And here she is, 22 years later!!! Like, WHAT?!
Her fans couldn't get past just how similar the two pictures looked:
Life: its time to age and look older Missy Elliott’s genes:
@MissyElliott Oh so we gonna just stunt like they ain’t identical!! I listen to this album to this day!! ♥️
@MissyElliott Wowwwww.. black DO NOT CRACK😳😳🤯❤❤
Hell, even Missy's own mother couldn't even tell the difference between the two pictures.
@LabellaCardiBey Lol my mom couldn’t even tell but if you look closely you can see the difference but I am more happy that my outfit is still in tack that outfit 22 year old leather😅
This isn't the first time Missy's dressed up as herself for Halloween. Last year, she re-created the blow-up suit by putting on a shiny Versace coat and giving us a lil' music video moment.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!😂🤣😂 I figured I’d be Missy Elliott from “The Rain” video but the 2018 version😂 I couldn’t find my blow up suit so just threw on my Versace coat🤷🏾♀️🤣 and I had no effects just my crazy ass😩🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤣😂🤣👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥@Timbaland
I think we can all agree that Missy has still got it. Every inch of it!
