Billie Jean was one of Michael Jackson's biggest hits and is the first music video to break the color barrier when it was played on MTV. Before the song's release, no other African-American video had been played on air. Billie Jean was more than a ground breaking video though; it was a stylistic, artistic video and with it came Michael's stylish and dramatic wardrobe as well.
With his passing, there are sure to be plenty of Michael fans who will be wearing the look that best captures their favorite image of the king of pop, whether it was from his childhood or beyond. The Billie Jean look is sure to get plenty of representation this year and beyond.
Regardless of how old you were when it was first released or whether you are a fan or not, the Billie Jean video had something for nearly everybody. Not just a pop song, not quite a rock song, it bridged the gap between the two genres like no other song could and Jackson spanned that gap like no other man could.
This costume starts with the jacket, black with onyx sequins. A black button down shirt with sparkly silver sequins is also included. The costume's look is completed with the included silver sequin glove and matching socks. The jacket and shirt come in adult sizes M-L and the gloves and socks are one-size fits most. You add your own pants and shoes to this costume. For an authentic look, aim to have the pants hit you at just above the ankle like in the video and show off your dazzling, sparkly socks for dramatic flair.
Additional accessories for the Billie Jean video costume include the Michael Jackson wig and make up kits. If you really want to rock the look, practice some of MJ's top dance moves and bring along the Billie Jean music to play as you enter the room for effect. After all, Michael did not get to be the king of pop because he was shy and retiring and if you are going to pay tribute to the man, you should at least come near some of his razzle dazzle and showmanship.
