Michael Jackson Moonwalker Costume Ideas

Michael Jackson Costume Clothing: Purchase or borrow a white or cream pants suit to start your Michael Jackson Moonwalker costume off right. Suits where the pants are a few inches short will help to create a convincing Michael Jackson costume. The suit should have pinstripes but solid colors will also work if you're on a low budget. You will also need a blue long sleeve button down shirt. A solid blue shirt will be more authentic when recreating the Michael Jackson Moonwalker Costume.

Michael Jackson Moonwalker Hairstyle: Purchase a medium length wavy wig for your Michael Jackson Moonwalker Costume. Make a ponytail hairstyle to slightly hang down your upper back. Pull a few strands of hair out of the ponytail on the front left and right sides of your forehead. These strands should hang down and appear to look like long front side bangs. The waves on your wig hair should be very loose to flow easily. Men and women with long hair can create their own Michael Jackson Moonwalker Costume hairstyle. Use hair products that will help to make a wavy hairstyle, which saves at least $20 on this costume.

Michael Jackson Costume Accessories: Put on a long white tie to be displayed on top of your long sleeve blue shirt. Wear a white fedora hat with a black band around it above the brim. A plain white Fedora hat can also be decorated with a piece of black ribbon or other fabric as an alternative option. Wrap a piece of blue fabric around the left upper arm on your white suit jacket. The blue fabric should match your shirt for this Michael Jackson Moonwalker Costume. Some photos of Michael Jackson also show him wearing the blue band around the right upper suit jacket sleeve, so this is another costume option. You will also need a pair of white suspenders that can be attached to your pants. Wear white socks with a pair of black penny loafer shoes.

Michael Jackson Moonwalker Costume Moves: Watch Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal music video to learn a few of his dance moves. Some retail stores sell this music video on DVD, making it easy to obtain. Cable or satellite TV subscribers could also set their DVR to record a TV broadcast of the Michael Jackson video. Many of his steps such as the moonwalk may not be easy to master. You can still learn how to do his poses and other choreography from the video. Practice these dance routines days in advance to enhance the appearance of your Michael Jackson Moonwalker Costume.
