Halloween is getting closer, and Michael Jackson fans have something new to celebrate this year! After a long wait, officially licensed Michael Jackson costumes are appearing in online stores again, giving fans the opportunity to dress up as the King of Pop for Halloween parties, themed events and celebrations.
From the legendary red jacket of Thriller to the iconic black-and-white look of Billie Jean, there are several options available, although the selection differs between the United States and Europe.
In the United States, HalloweenCostumes.com has introduced a collection of officially licensed Michael Jackson costumes under its Made By Us range. The selection includes the classic Thriller outfit for adults and children, with toddler sizes and plus-size options also available. Fans looking for the Billie Jean era can choose a Moonwalk costume, while accessories such as the famous white glove and fedora can help complete the look.
There are also versions designed specifically for women. These include a Thriller-inspired outfit and a more revealing Billie Jean-inspired costume. The latter takes Michael’s legendary stage look in a rather different direction, and might even make the King of Pop blush!
Fans in Europe have a different selection to explore, with Funidelia offering several officially licensed Michael Jackson items through its UK store. Alongside the familiar Thriller jacket, the collection includes the red-and-black Beat It jacket, black military-style jackets inspired by Michael’s stage wardrobe, and a complete Smooth Criminal costume for adults.
The range also includes accessories such as the hat and glove, the wig and glasses, and other costume kits. Several jackets and accessories are available for children too, making it possible for younger fans to celebrate Michael’s music and legendary fashion.
Unfortunately, European shoppers looking for the more daring women’s versions available in the United States will have to keep looking for now.
It is great to see officially licensed Michael Jackson costumes returning to the market and giving fans more ways to celebrate his extraordinary career. Whether you prefer the horror-inspired look of Thriller, the unforgettable style of Billie Jean, the rebellious energy of Beat It or the sharp white suit from Smooth Criminal, there is something for different generations of Michael Jackson fans.
Just remember to practise your moonwalk before heading out!
