Michael Jackson's Style: A Slideshow Retrospective (PHOTOS)

Michael Jackson died after suffering cardiac arrest today.

One thing the King of Pop was well-known for was his singular sense of style. From face masks before there was swine flu to glittery gloves, Jackson has forever left his stamp on fashion.

Here's a look back:

He loved Fedoras. You can tell.

Still way too raw for me, now I understand how Lennon's fans felt.

1993 was the year we REALLY lost the real Michael.

Still, I 'm overwhelmed by the pain of actually losing forever two days ago.

I just don't understand how someone that good looking could do that to his face. Does anyone remember the video with the silver jumpsuit; I think the song was "Rock with You". He was, in my opinion, very goodlooking. Scary how he changed.

Yes, i remember the old michael. he had a complex about his skin color and ethnic features.

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

Yes, I remember the silver sparkly suit, too. There wasn't anything wrong with his looks at all. Not that the basis of everything in life, should be based on looks. But, he was definitely good looking.

He "ruined" his nose, with those plastic surgeries.

May God give you the peace that you were searching for all your life, Michael, and shower your family with his grace which they'll need. I am crushed, just crushed, right now.

An extraordinarily gifted human being. May he rest in peace.

My Prayer to the Jackson Family; rest in peace Micheal! You were a beautiful person that God sent to us that was abused and cheaped by many who should have been looking out for your well-being and safety!
God-speed Micheal; we will meet again!

Michael Jackson was so talented when he was at the top of his game. The albums "OFF THE WALL" and "THRILLER" were superb. He was the best dancer ever. His mother and others must be in SHOCK. I feel for them tonight and pray that they are comforted by the comforter.

When Farrah went home today, God told her "go back and pick up your brother"

May Farrah and Michael rest in the Perpetual Light of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

That is so sweet. I think God wanted to have more entertainment in heaven.

One of the saddest aspects of Michael Jackson's life is that he never took off the "costume".

[Jenjohnson]

We used to wear white sequined gloves... We kind of felt like the "it girls" in our school those days..

Rest in peace Michael

LOVE YOU MJ. Will miss you dearly.

[PresidentRobertBooth]

His outfits were unique to say the least. God forbid someone express their individuality.

But the "white sparkly glove/socks" are iconic.

I want you back MJ

This is so sad.

Our condolences to the family.
