Michael Jackson Costumes

The Glove

Perhaps no accessory that Michael Jackson donned was more associated with the enigma that was Michael Jackson than the sequined glove.

In the 80s, people speculated why Michael wore the solitary glove, made famous in his "Billie Jean" video. However, soon it became a fad just as Madonna's fingerless gloves and Cindi Lauper's vibrant multi-colored hair.

After his death, actress Cicely Tyson revealed that the reason for the glove was to cover the effects of vitiligo. She learned this after she saw a designer she shared with the pop star working on the glove. When asked, he revealed that it was to disguise Michael's skin condition.

Thriller Costume

In the 80s, Michael Jackson's Thriller jacket became a pop culture fashion staple.

Michael's red and black jacket paired with the red pants, white socks and black shoes remain one of Jackson's most memorable ensembles. If you want to create this look for your Michael Jackson costume, remember: let those white socks fly. Michael was one of the few people who could get away with that fashion no-no, but it's essential in planning your costume that you make it, too.

Will you look quite as stylish as Michael did in the Thriller video? Unlikely, but that's no excuse for laziness!

Billie Jean Costume

Michael's Billie Jean video was the first video from his Thriller album and truly created the icon that Michael would become.

The black jacket, white shirt, red bow tie and black pants - along with those famous black shoes - first introduced us to Michael the music video star.

However, there was another iconic look Michael wore while performing Billie Jean - the outfit made famous in the Motown 25th Anniversary show. The performance where Michael first performed the Moonwalk. This outfit was similar in structure to Michael's Billie Jean video outfit. However, the shirt was sequined and was more conducive to a stage performance.
