Michael Jackson Halloween Costume Ideas


Dressing up as Michael Jackson has always been a popular choice for a Halloween costume. The King of Pop was famous for his many different styles, which are unique, recognizable and very distinctive, and that makes him a great choice for this fun occasion.

The Glove

A Michael Jackson costume is not complete without his trademark white or silver sequined glove. Just like a black cat custome has to have a tail or a witch costume has to have a pointed hat, this particular King of Pop get-up should really have the glove. You can choose between a white sequined or a silver sequined one. A simple white glove could also do the trick. Luckily, finding Michael Jackson gloves is not difficult because many costume stores have them.

The Red Pleather Jacket

Another recognizable MJ look is called the red pleather jacket look. In the eighties, he wore that tight red pleather jacket in the music videos of "Thriller" and "Beat It". To have a great effect, you can decorate the jacket with lots of functionless zippers, or cover the front with a big black V strip. Tight black or red leather pants plus boots that have large buckles should complete this look excellently.

If you do not have time to decorate your jacket, you can just visit any costume store and buy one from there. It might cost you quite a lot though. Try shopping around thrift stores because there might be something there that is good enough.

The "Bad" Black Jacket

This jacket was what Michael Jackson wore in his "Bad" video. It had a military look and was decorated with large golden badges and golden shoulder epaulets. Along with these, he had a gold belt with the word "Bad" printed on the buckle. In 1984, he wore a similar jacket on his visit to the White House.

The Thriller

"Thriller" is a perfect Halloween soundtrack, isn't it? And dressing up like Michael Jackson would make everything seem like you were in the award-winning music video. The easiest and cheapest way to get this done is to use some pasty makeup which has a yellowish or greenish shade. Use the same red pleather jacket, but torn it up to achieve the zombie look.

Other Accessories

If you want to do the moonwalk, the classic, wide-brimmed black fedora is your best companion. It is easy to find one, and it does not cost a lot. Dark glasses or a Michael Jackson face mask is also a good alternative for a Halloween costume.

Try to watch some old Michael Jackson videos so that you can come up with new Halloween costume ideas.
