Here is a tribute to Michael Jackson by Michelle Phan in occasion of his birthday, on the 29th of August. Jackson was not only the King of the Pop, but also a style icon. We remember him for his music and for his singular sense of style: ultra-embellished military jackets, trilby-style hats and white socks, metal bandoleros and belts, were all integral part of his personality.

This is what Michelle Phan writes on her YouTube channel:

‘I spent over a week looking for all the right pieces. I spent a lot of time prepping for this video, but I loved every second of it. I really tried my best to get all the outfits, but because of the limited time and his birthday rolling around the corner, I had to make quick decisions like using tape on the Thriller jacket and using the necklace on the military blazer. Please excuse the fact that it’s not perfect!’

Let’s see how Michelle Phan reproduces Jackson’s style!
