Since the tragic and sudden death of Michael Jackson fans have been paying tribute to the pop star in several ways. With Halloween approaching, Michael Jackson costumes are guaranteed to be more popular than ever. Here are some tips on how to re-create multiple looks became famous.
Michael Jackson video for "Thriller" was almost more like a film a music video. The video featured dancing zombies and Michael was turning into a werewolf and zombie. To get the look of Michael was put on the video, apply makeup or pale yellow green in the face. Take a jacket, red imitation leather where it starts to make it look as if you had been attacked by zombies. Pair with red leather pants or black and wear the jacket over a shirt unbuttoned black.
In the video, Michael is on a date with a young woman. This would be a great costume idea for couples. The woman just wear jeans or denim Capri, and a orange shirt with a denim jacket used unbuttoned.
Michael Jackson Another suit may be created with the music video for "Bad" as a source of inspiration. Take a black military-style jacket and added large gold badges and shoulder straps of gold. Wear the jacket unbuttoned over a black V-neck shirt with black pants.
Another great king of pop costume choice would be to recreate its appearance off the stage. Use black fitting pants that are short, or that can be rolled up to reveal white socks and black patent leather shoes. Layer a white shirt with a red button down shirt worn open. Top looks like a black felt hat with hair stands out, and a pair of aviator sunglasses. You could also use the same suit with a black shirt instead of red, white and attach a wide ribbon on the hat.
Of course, no Michael Jackson costume would be complete without the king's signature sequined glove pop. Take a white collar and tail of silver or white sequins. Many of the articles can be found at reasonable prices in thrift stores. Costume shops may have masks and costumes, but the prices can be expensive.
Three Stages of Michael Jackson
Not only has Michael Jackson's career evolved over time, but so has his appearance. This group costume highlights the most memorable looks throughout Michael's career, from "Young Michael" to "80's Michael" and up to "Present-Day Michael".
"Young Michael's" costume uses the bright, bold fashions of the late 60's and early 70s which include colorful pants and shirt, and is accented with a fringed vest and platform shoes. These were the days when Michael was still black and proudly sported his 'fro.
Next Michael evolved into his '80s 'Billie Jean' look which was all about the sparkle. The "80's Michael" costume features a sparkly shirt, short black pants to show off the white socks, a sequined hat and of course the iconic sequined white glove. The look is completed with a visibly paler Michael, aviators and a few strands of Jheri Curl.
Most recently we have seen Michael become almost an entirely different person. The last costume, "Most Recent Michael", includes Michael's latest fashion favs such as the plain white T, unbuttoned red shirt (perfect to fan dramatically when singing the Free Willy theme) and of course the black pants, white socks and black loafers which have become a Michael staple.
Our "Most Recent Michael" is incredibly pale with long, straight black hair and is often seen wearing a face mask. Michael also brings his son Prince Michael II along and may even hang him over a balcony railing!
We found the general idea for the costumes on a website and came up with each individual look on our. All of the items used to make the costumes were either items we owned or were purchased at a thrift store. The sequined hat and gloves were made by individually gluing sequins on each which probably the most complicated part of making the costume. The rest was really about picking out outfits that fit those iconic Michael Jackson looks.
