Google michael jackson gold trousers. There are a bunch of images.
It’s a look he liked, and it reminds me of the Yellow Brick Road.
At left, the gold sequined pants he dons so terrifically in the rehearsal documentary, “This is It.” I saw the film last weekend and was thunderstruck by how talented and lovely was Jackson.
A still photo does not capture how the pants move — and just think how light would play off them.
Who else could pull this off?
Okay, there’s been bad taste over the years, but in general I like Jackson’s look. So intriguing to watch him in this film!
I love the fitted jackets, military piping, and shoulder pads. He had wonderful long legs. Just love the stovepipe trouser, white sock and black loafer.
Absolutely fantastic look for a dancer. Such a great dancer. News, ladies, Michael Jackson was sexy. He wasn’t just a freak, he didn’t just hang his baby off a balcony. He was hot. See the film, you’ll see it immediately.
