This year’s theme, “Fashion Is Art,” was part of an exhibition curated by Andrew Bolton titled “Costume Art.” <\/p>\n
The exhibition looks at the relationship between clothing and the human body through different forms and stages of life.<\/p>\n
Jaafar’s appearance at the Met Gala comes at a time when his film Michael is doing well at the box office.<\/p>\n
The film, which was released on April 24, has earned strong numbers both in North America and worldwide. <\/p>\n
In the film, Jaafar steps into the role of his uncle and recreates several of his famous looks from music videos and performances. <\/p>\n
Costume designer Marci Rodgers worked on recreating outfits from songs like “Thriller” and “Beat It,” along with tour costumes and the famous Pepsi commercial look.<\/p>\n
Jaafar Jackson, speaking about the film in an interview cited by People magazine, described his experience watching it, saying, “As soon as it came on, it was a completely different experience than what I thought it was going to be.”<\/p>\n
“It went by so fast… the second time I saw it was a completely different experience. I was able to understand what the story is and really allow myself to enjoy what’s on the screen,” he added.<\/p>\n
As per Variety, ‘Michael’ opened to $97.5 million domestically on April 24 and has since earned $183.8 million across North America. Globally, the biopic has grossed $423 million within two weekends of release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This year’s theme, “Fashion Is Art,” was part of an exhibition curated by Andrew Bolton titled “Costume Art.”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470657,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[206468,9867,434,205908,18,117,19,17,97557,165297,206465,206467,98257,25129,206469,206466,30695],"class_list":["post-470656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-beat-it-costume","tag-box-office","tag-celebrities","tag-costume-art","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-jaafar-jackson","tag-met-gala-2026","tag-met-gala-debut","tag-met-gala-look","tag-michael-biopic","tag-michael-jackson","tag-michael-review","tag-mj-tribute","tag-ralph-lauren"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116525759566831135","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
