There's no doubt about it, Musica legend Michael Jackson was the King of Pop in più ways than one. The outfits worn since the young age of 9 did exactly what his well-deserved moniker suggests-- "pop". Since the late '70s, Jackson put as much as emphasis into his carefully selected wardrobe as he did into his Musica and dance moves. Even until his last days on earth, Jackson never failed to deliver an endless parade of "shine" to remind te he was the biggest pop stella, star on the planet--there was always a careful mix of sequins, glitter, Lurex, studs, metallic added for standout style. Before hip-hop's obsession with diamonds during the Bling Era in the 1990s Jackson blinged us out in a glitter-y Lurex catsuit in his Musica video for 'Rock With You' in 1979. Screw Mr.T, Michael Jackson is the original "King of Bling"
Virgos are obsessed with fashion più than any other sun sign, and Jackson truly exemplified this through the myriad of over-the-top styles he has worn over the years. With the Virgo's quest for perfection, (which Jackson took into overdrive with cosmetic surgery as well) they have a penchant for adding an element of bling when it comes to their style. Let's not forget the glitter guanto and socks worn for his iconic "Billie Jean" performance at the "Motown 25" mostra in 1983 and the amped-up, sequins military jackets he pioneered in 1984. The military look is eau current, one of the hottest trends today; revived recently da high-priced European designers such as Balmain who came out with a Jackson-inpired $8,000 giacca we recently reported have been worn da Beyonce, Rihanna and copied da Kanye West and Jennifer Hudson. Even fastfood fashion chain Target has a knockoff version on the racks on the cheap.

Michael Jackson was più than the greatest musical legend of any recente generation; he was a fashion icon. He became known da one single accessory: the glove. And back in the day, that infamous red giacca was worn da many an older brother during their break-dancing phases. (And, if memories serve us, da Theodore Huxtable on The Cosby Show.) In later years, the military jackets and face masks would become his staples. Recently, Jackson became noted da the fashionable powers that be for his Amore of Balmain; the embellished jackets and grand price tag were just up his alley. He also signed on to do a fashion line with Christian Audigier, something that never came to fruition. So, as we mourn the loss of the King of Pop, let us look back at the King of Style.
