Michael Jackson Fancy Dress Costumes – Thriller, Bad Or Billie Jean?

The 25th June is the anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death, and maybe you are one of the many people planning a party to pay tribute to this historic performer.

Dressing in Michael Jackson fancy dress and dancing and singing to his music will play a huge part in your festivities. We thought you’d like a look at a couple of the best MJ costumes.

Thriller, Billie Jean and Bad are just some of the top clothes we have to offer, and if you are going with friends, have a look what you will look like as a Michael Jackson group, by visiting our new fancy dress group pages. We have an exciting new tool to help you plan your team’s outfits.

Go to our group fancy dress page and simply click on the MJ image to display our selection of clothes and accessories. You can then click on each individual item to add it to your collection.

To view your choices and see what your team will look like simply click “view group photo”.

You can remove any or all costumes by simply clicking on the outfit or x. So you can change your mind as many times as you like. Each team member can choose their own outfit in their own size.





Billie Jean
The Billie Jean costume includes the jacket, shirt, socks and glove. Add the Fedora to complete the look.  Billie Jean was released on the Thriller album in 1982 and then in 1983 as a single, accompanied by a lovingly remembered video show of Michael lighting up the floor as he dances from one square to another.

















Thriller 
The Thriller Michael Jackson fancy dress is our favourite. The red jacket and trousers bring back memories of the Thriller music video. It was new and fresh, with exciting music, dance and make up. Many of us rushed out to sign up for the dance classes that sprung up at the time ( a bit like the rush to join the John Travolta style disco dancing lessons in the 70s!) but I have to confess that although we had fun, none of us could really dance.
















Bad
This black costume includes jacket trousers, two belts, bracelet, gloves and shoe covers. Released in 1987 the Bad album brought us “I just can’t stop loving you”, “Man in the mirror” and “The way you make me feel”
















Looks great with the “bad” wig

Group Fancy Dress - Exciting Ideas

Are you looking for a group fancy dress? We have some great ideas to help you along the way.

Any costume looks fantastic worn by an individual, but team up with a few other people wearing complementary costumes and you have got the WOW factor.




Roman or Greek
This single centurion suddenly turns into a group of bold Roman soldiers, accompanied by their beautiful Roman beauties.













Grease is the word
Grease is a perfect choice for couples or groups. Last scene Danny and Sandy can be worn as a pair, or team it with the Frenchy Beauty School dropout, T Birds and the pink lady Rizzo outfits to suit the group numbers.



Wear the character wig, and the gloriously pink Frenchy wig can be worn with a Pink Lady jacket or the Beauty School dropout dress. We love this wig.








We love the 80s 
The 80s gave us pop icons such as Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna and Rod Stewart. We love this 80s theme for groups. It doesn’t matter how many people are in your group, you can accommodate everybody. There’s even a Dynasty costume for the soap fans.











Hello Sailor
The military army and sailor uniforms have some gorgeous sexy costumes. The Fever Shipmate cutie uniform goes so well with the Captain costume. Or match the Captain deluxe with the ladies high Seas Captain for a seductive duo.











The army soldier or Fever’s Army Guy costume are well paired with the Fever Combat Chick or Major Trouble outfits.


Moving on to an exciting theme for the men, we have the ninja warriors. The black and red top trousers and hood look pretty menacing when teamed with the sword and scabbard. It doesn’t matter how many ninjas are in the clan, the more the merrier.


We have a great collection of group costumes from which to make your selection. So, if this is something that sparks your interest, have a look at our group fancy dress ideas and exciting new ordering tool.


Tip-
Regardless of age and gender, dressing up as a team creates a marvellous atmosphere and adds to the mood of the party, but go for something that suits all members of your group. Nobody should feel uncomfortable. If you can’t agree on a theme – change it, with so much choice it is easy to satisfy the most challenging people.


have fun!
