Totally jacked this one from the Curls thread, but can we appreciate this particular outfit for a minute??
Ummm for a lot longer than a minute. For an entire godforsaken life!
YES. All of this!
It's every single individual component adding up to the full breadth of him. All of it is part of what makes this photo (and entire era) so ****** exceptional.
Here's what it is for me, though:
- the smile, oh Jesus
- the sunglasses (Michael's eyes are one of the most beautiful things about him, but has anyone EVER looked as excruciatingly hot in shades as he does?!)
- the curls, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Of course
- the red top -- this is just the red version of my favorite Bad tour top and I'm obsessed. I love how it creases. I love that the zipper is off center in this stance, I love everything about it
- the belt -- the big silver one and ALL of the ones draped all over his legs
- I CAN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THE PANTS BUT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE PANTS
- his hands and fingers
- the position as, I think, he walks down the stairs
- the camera angle makes him look powerful and painfully sexy
Honestly, sometimes I can't even believe the Bad era was real. It's like I dreamt it up. Except, I could never come up with anything so beautiful, bad ass, stylin, or SEXY as this.
