Red shirt and long hair.. How did Michael Jackson return for Halloween 2026?

British makeup and special effects expert Alexis Stone caught attention during the Halloween 2026 celebrations, after he appeared in a look inspired by the late American singer Michael Jackson, during the party organized by the fashion model Heidi Klum in New York City on October 31. Stone chose to embody the appearance of the pop legend in his final years, in a new transformation added to his series of looks that sparked widespread interest on social media, thanks to his ability to recreate the features of famous characters using silicone masks, transformative makeup techniques, and special effects.

His experience was not limited to reshaping facial features, but also extended to Jackson's clothing style, as he appeared wearing a red shirt over a white T-shirt, with straight-cut black pants. The "look" was completed with long, straight hair that reached the shoulders and sunglasses, while he held an umbrella in his hands, in details that evoked the appearance that was associated with the late singer.

The late designer Thierry Mugler evoked this Halloween look after his appearance during the French house Mugler's presentation of the spring and summer 2027 collection at Paris Fashion Week, where Stone wore a white outfit and a transparent black veil that fell over his head and face, before revealing a striking transformation through which he re-presented the features of the late founder of the fashion house Thierry Mugler. The outfit was not just a choice inspired by the designer's style, as Stone wore pieces from Mugler's personal wardrobe, including one of his signature brooches, in reference to the look's connection to his personal and creative legacy.

These elements came in addition to recreating his features, including a bald head, beard, and mustache, using special effects techniques. Black hair, sequins, and leather. In September 2026, Stone chose a completely different persona, when he transformed into the American singer Cher, in a public appearance in the Soho area in the British capital, London.

He appeared with long, curly black hair, a transparent black suit embroidered with sequins, with details inspired by leather belts, and a black leather jacket inspired by biker fashion, decorated with metal studs. The look was completed with long black leather boots that reached the top of the thigh, with high heels, a choice that reflects the bold character associated with Cher's looks on stage.

Not only did Stone display the transformation through pictures, but he appeared with this look on the streets of London, attracting the attention of passers-by and the lenses of photographers, some of whom even thought they were watching Cher herself.
