Michael Jackson is and always will be the King of Pop. And in 2009, the unfortunate death of this music legend has left a lot of Michael Jackson fans trying to pay tribute to the great music and style of this singer and songwriter.
Halloween costumes are an opportunity to pay respect to those people that mean something in your life. Hence why Halloween Stores are selling out of Michael Jackson costumes. You don't need to buy a costume, you can easily make one and look like a superstar. Here are the steps how!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Glove
  • Sunglasses
  • Tight jeans
  • Fancy Coat
  • Wig of Hair

    The basic need of every Michael Jackson costume is the White Sequined Glove. Placed on just one hand, this glove is essential. If you can't find a sequined glove, consider buying a simple white glove and buying fake jewels to glue on the top of the glove.

    Dark Glasses is another must have for your Michael Jackson. As you will notice, Michael Jackson had a variety of sunglasses for his look, but one consistent item about the glasses is they always fit big on his face. Wide lenses are the best choice for your Michael Jackson Costume.

  3. Step 3

    A wig of Black hair for your costume is the next step of the focus of the costume. Make sure you set your costume hair for the time period of your decided Michael Jackson costume. If you are looking at his younger years, his hair was a little wilder and fanned out, yet in his older years his hair was more tamed, fitting around his face.

  4. Step 4

    Tight jeans are the next step in the perfect Michael Jackson costume. He never wore baggy pants or pants that pleated out. Instead all of his pants hugged his legs so people could see his feet!

  5. Step 5
