Why Michael Jackson Always Wore an Iconic Single White Glove

by Beyondboders

Michael Jackson, known worldwide as the King of Pop, left an indelible mark not just in music but also in fashion. His iconic single white glove, often seen on his right hand, was more than just a fashion statement; it held a deeper significance.

Contrary to speculations, the glove was not merely a stylistic choice. It served to conceal a skin condition that plagued Jackson throughout his life.

Sources close to the late pop icon, including actress Cicely Tyson and his dermatologist Dr. Arnie Klein, revealed that the glove was initially designed to hide the early signs of vitiligo on his hand.

Vitiligo, a condition causing patches of skin to lose their pigment, affected Jackson’s hands and face. To balance out the uneven pigmentation, Jackson resorted to wearing the glove, which became synonymous with his image.

Jackson did not talk much about his skin condition at first but eventually, he opened up about it to Oprah Winfrey, stating, “I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of the skin. It’s something I cannot help, but when people fabricate stories that I don’t want to be who I am, it hurts me.”

Moreover, Jackson’s fashion choices were not just about concealing his condition; they were also about making a statement. His unconventional attire, including the single glove and white socks, became trendsetting symbols, defying the fashion norms of his time.

But Jackson’s legacy extends far beyond his fashion sense. His contributions to music earned him numerous accolades, including 13 Grammy Awards and a place in the Guinness World Records.

Despite facing challenges like vitiligo, Jackson’s talent and impact on the entertainment industry remain unparalleled.
