Michael Jackson: From Classic to Crazy, the king of pop also rocked his own style.
Michael Jackson left the world in a state of shock last week, passing away from a heart attack. The legacy he leaves us is massive: a controversial character, his music, fashion and lifestyle will never be forgotten. I won’t pretend to have been his biggest fan ever – but I was a big fan of Thriller (who wasn’t?) and his wild looks, which is why I am compiling this post to showcase Michael Jackson’s crazy outfits (and cosmetic surgeries) throughout the years. First of all, let’s start with my fave look of his…
One of my fave screenshots of Thriller. The red getup is iconic – to say nothing of the blue patterned outfit combined with the flashy heels. Even in an era of outrageous, over-the-top outfits, Jacko managed to stand out in a crowd.
MJ wasn’t always this wild. Once upon a time, he rocked the skinny jeans and leather bomber better than most. If only, back then, people could have seen the Michael Jackson that was to be…
And here, the King of Pop in Master of the Universe getup. In all honesty, this is a pretty cool outfit. I’m pretty sure the elves of Rivendell would approve.
However, Michael Jackson did more than rock the bizarre and bold. Here, he looks classic and well-put-together in suit and fedora. While it could be argued that he copied this classic look from countless others who have worn it, who would really say that the King of Pop didn’t rock it better than anyone else?
