Stars Honor King Of Pop Launching New Tour

This week we have had a whole bunch of tributes to Michael Jackson, the world’s King of Pop. We saw his kids immortalize him at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater, and we had a sneak look at the Glee tribute episode, with ‘Wanna Be Startin Something.‘Today we have pics from the The MJ Immortal World Tour opening night and we see stars paying tribute to Michael Jackson by adopting his iconic looks. Check out the pics…

Rihanna’s look definitely paid homage to the King Of Pop, with her leather pants, embellished leather jacket and sunglasses.

Seeing stars dress like Michael Jackson made me think about the Amy Winehouse fashion show, because in both cases we have deceased icons being brought back to life with their distinctive aesthetics and ‘looks.’ On Friday we heard that Amy Winehouse’s father was furious at the fact that his deceased daughter was used in a fashion show by Jean Paul Gaultier. Many Pink readers debated over whether this was homage or insensitivity for financial gain, and it is not an easy one to work out because both sides of the argument are compelling. Was this case homage and Amy’s not? How would Michael Jackson’s children feel about people dressing up like their dad?
