The unfortunate passing of Michael Jackson earlier this year has caused a sharp increase in the demand for costumes characterizing the late "King of Pop". Michael Jackson AKA "The Gloved One", is reported to be the most popular costume for the Halloween of 2009. If you are planning to dress up as Michael Jackson this Halloween, here are some of the things you'll need to pull-off the look:
- Michael Jackson mask and/or wig. You have two options here; you can make up your own face and wear a wig or you can just wear a pull-over mask.
- A sequinned glove (of course!).
- A replica jacket in the style of that which MJ wore in any of the following videos: Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It, Bad, etc.
- Black pants/leggings (above the ankle), white socks, black loafer shoes.
- A black Fedora hat.
Mix and match these items to suit the Michael Jackson look you're aiming to achieve.
