Michael Jackson Fashion Evolution: 25 Iconic Looks

Mon., Aug. 29 marks what would have been the King of Pop's 53rd birthday. To commemorate the gift he bestowed upon us, serving up soulfully powerful vocals, poignant lyrics and stellar dance moves, our friends at the The BoomBox took a look at his collection of fashions over the years, all in honor of his born day.
From his work as a burgeoning force with the Jackson 5 to his acclaim as a solo act, the 'Thriller' creator never once faltered in dressing for any occasion. His tour gear -- outer bodysuits and elbow pads included -- always proved to be ahead of the curve and his red carpet appearances -- full of glitter and gold -- were a topic of conversation for those who didn't even consider themselves to be immersed in the fashion spectrum.
Whether he considered himself to be an icon of epic wardrobe proportions or not before his untimely death on June 25, 2009, MJ was a bad style connoisseur, in a good way, of course.

copied somewhat off of Elvis even marrying the King's daughter so he could have ties to Elvis.Elvis was and always will be the king of ALL music because he can sing all types of music not just one type like jackson.Elvis was influenced by all music he stole nothing from noone.Black people want to spread that lie to discredit Elvis because Elvis did what no body else could do and that is bring music to the masses and it took a white southern country boy to do it and it eats people's guts out.Elvis is the one and only entertainer that everybody tries to be like but cannot..That is why his legacy is still going strong after all these years so keep spreading your racial hatred toward Elvis i for one want be brainwashed

You can never place one above the other...Can everyone stop talking about who is more talented?? Both of them were great at what they did for the world...They are BOTH KINGS, and we miss them both...So can you guys please stop talking about it??

August 28 2011 at 6:43 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down Replyi could not agree with you more people are jealous of Elvis and i imagine Elvis had to live with jealous people all his life.Priscilla by the way was 22 when they married in 67.She did live withElvis but she was constantly by her family she even said herself that Elvis was a perfect gentleman all thopse years they lived together and so what if Elvis gained weight the last year of his life it was all the medication that he was on and you would have trouble remembering to if you had all the health issues Elvis had.There are many songs referring to Elvis many many books movies around Elvis Tv shows AROUND elvis,his legacy is worldwide.He sold over billion records,when he died people actually bought records you could not download them sop

U know guys i never wanna show my anger on MJ haters... I still love MJ very deep inside my heart...
and i learned this from Michael to LOVE instead of showing ANGER...
Before you Judge Him Try Hard to Love Him...
michael jackson slept with young boys,he dangled his baby out of a hotel window,he changed his face so much that he no longer looked human,he made his children wear masks in public they literally had no childhood thanks to this person,it is ignorant people like you who keep trying to tell yourself and others what a good man he was.He was also a liar who lied through his teeth in the bashir interview by saying he only had a nosejob and no other surgery and saying that his sleepover with children were innocent.Who in God's name,would sleep with children in the first place.Admitting that he slept with children should be a red flag too you and others that jackson was deeply,deeply disturbed and anybody who still defend him is crazy He didn't even like his own race i just do not get why anybody would still defend him.

This is so strange, because you are talking about MJ like a dog, and you don"t even know the man and the impact that he made on everyone around you...I can believe you can talk about anyone like that in general when they have passed away, shame on you....A what you call defending(as if its a bad thing), is really respect for all of what he did and their responses to the haters...Go ahead and respond because that will just prove that my comment got to you.....

Michael, rest in peace in God's loving and comforting arms. God bless your mother and children. God watch over them, comfort them and keep them safe. Help them heal and deliver them from all evil.
Michael, I loved you then, I love you now, and I love you forever. You ARE missed and there will never be anyone who can come close to your talent. Thank you Michael for sharing it with us all. How lucky we were to have received it in our lifetime. You will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, my friend and God bless you.
king of what?he was a sick twisted perverted person.Calling him king sounds stupid and silly.and you sound a little obsessed by this ''man''

Most who criticize Michael don't know a damn thing about him. He was unjustly misunderstood and judged by morons who simply didn't like his looks. "Obsessed by this 'man'?" No, just filled with compassion for a kind and loving soul who deserves better than the likes of you and your judgement. We All have to answer to Him eventually..........God forgive you.

You morons, if you don't like Michael Jackson, then why are you even on here? TROLLS!
Go ahead and rate this comment down, you're only proving my point. :)
I find it so funny how a few years ago people hated michael jackson and now after he died the same people are singing his praises.He never did anything of any substance except thriller and most of the credit for that goes to quincy jones,not michael jackson.He was a joke the last few years of his life and in death he was also a joke his memorial his funeral was a big joke.Now people are trying to build him up by creating all these lies about his accomplishments his singing was like that of a teenage girl to high pitched and whiney for my taste.His dancing routines were all the same i am so sick of people now trying to say he is the greatest when he certainly was not,not by any stretch of the imagination.Let's see how many people honor him on his birthday or his death.Nearly 30 thousand went to graceland on the 33 anniversary of Elvis'death and on his birthday,let's see if jackson is as fondly remembered 33 years from now or even 10.

August 28 2011 at 12:48 AM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down ReplySpare me.please.He didn't walk on water,did he?This what i am referring to.He is not amazing to me.Unless someone who slept with underage children and gave them ''jesus juice''is considered amaging and don't tell me about all he did for charity,i guess he was trying to ease his conscience.The press can't be wrong about everything and his father is not to blame for his messed up face and screwed up life,he brought that all on himself.He was an average singer,at best but he was not a great human being i am not buying that load of crap.

I can't wait to see how you will respond when that exact thing happens....And if you go look at 90% of his songs(Smooth Criminal,The Way You Make Me Feel,Beat It, Billie Jean,etc.) they all say they were written by MICHAEL JACKSON...He was a TRUE ARTIST, unlike all of the artists now that have their producers do everything; those will be the ones that won't be remembered 10 years from now...
