Liquorose Pays Tribute To Michael Jackson At The “Michael” Movie Premiere

The long-anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, “Michael,” finally premiered in Lagos on April 20, 2026, at the EbonyLife Cinema, and as expected, the stars came out in full swing and Liquorose was one of them. Known for her incredible dance moves, the former BBNaija star delivered a proper tribute to the King of Pop. She arrived in a bold outfit inspired by the sparkling blue beaded shirt and rhinestone-encrusted look Michael Jackson famously wore on stage during his 1984 “Victory Tour”, particularly at the time of his legendary performances at Dodger Stadium.

Liquorose wore a crisp white button-down shirt with a deep V-neckline. It had two pleated, bib-like panels on the chest that gave off a classic tuxedo feel. The sleeves were the real highlight, left uncuffed and unbottoned, easing the shirt’s formal lines. She paired it with high-waisted, slim-cut trousers that were completely covered in shimmering blue and black sequins. Her makeup included warm tones, a smoky eye and a nude glossy lip. Her hair was styled in a smooth, shoulder-length bob and a clean side part with the ends flipped out slightly for a retro touch.

Liquorose accessorized her look with a low-slung, silver rhinestone-encrusted belt which featured a sharp gold buckle. For jewellery, she wore small stud earrings. For footwear, she chose metallic silver pointed-toe pumps that matched the belt. Liquorose didn’t start out as a style icon, she started as a dancer. She knows what it means to perform, and what Michael Jackson represents in that world.
